Reuben Quest: Ev Awakening - Axe Remake
Posted by Ryan on 16 May 2014, 04:25 GMT
Around 10 years ago or so, the world of BASIC games was rocked by Kevin "DJ Omnimaga" Ouellet's outstanding Reuben Quest: Ev Awakening. The stunning adventure-RPG graced many-a-calcs, and rightfully so.
Back then, the big "What if?" question that often appeared revolved around porting BASIC games to ASM. As you may well know, there are many tools that have helped to bridge this gap, with the infamous Axe Parser being noteworthy, to say the least. Many years later, Sorunome has breathed some new life into this classic by doing a full remake of RQ:EA via the Axe Parser! Are you excited yet? You should be! A quick glance at the animated screens and a video of the game in action should be more than proof enough of the fine work done here. Of course, the game looks as gorgeous as it ever did, which is a high praise in and of itself. Beyond that, the recreated experience is as smooth and enjoyable as one could hope for -- a true high-fidelity romp through forests, caverns, and castles. All of this was created with a relatively short turn-around (not including the project's ~9 month hiatus), especially considering the great progress made since the public beta that hit the web just a few weeks ago. Now that's some dedication to the classics!
A big tip of the hat to Sorunome for the outstanding work! This is Sorunome's second feature in less than a year's time, and we can't wait to see what's next. Really, there's not much more to say than "Go play this now!"

I think some of the enemies are too OP, and they appear so much I can't really walk.
