Review summary

SteamWorld Quest on iOS is a visually striking, polished mobile port with strong art, music, and a charming story. Its card-based battles are deep and strategic, making it stand out on mobile, and it’s generally good value. However, reviewers note uneven balance, repetitive battles with limited variety, and a short post-game. Localization gaps (no Chinese) and input/controls issues (skip mechanics and lack of controller/keyboard/trackpad support) are common requests. Overall, a high-quality title with engaging combat and visuals, but with accessibility and balance improvements needed.

Pros

Stunning visuals and strong art direction with high production value
Deep, engaging card-based battle system that adds strategic depth
Compelling story, atmosphere, and soundtrack
Excellent mobile port quality; easy to play on iOS
Good value for money / reasonably priced

Cons

Unbalanced difficulty with spikes; balance inconsistency
Battles can feel repetitive and there is limited enemy variety
Short overall length with little post-game content
Lack of Chinese localization on iOS
Input/controls issues: unreliable two-finger skip and no controller/keyboard/trackpad support

2023-07-21	Je*****	I got this game because it was advertised as “deckbuilding”. It is not. It’s just a boring old school RPG.

2023-03-11	ic*****	Great mechanics in this game but bolder serif font that’s 10-11px for reading? 1. No reading type should ever be this small period, that’s an established industry norm. 2. It’s 2023, accessibility issues should at the forefront of your UI design.

2022-09-09	pi*****	The game has an interesting and daily deep card-driven battle system which merges pretty well with RPG style equipment and level raising. That’s the most important thing, and the game did that element pretty well. But the character art and story were grating for me. That game art is generally pretty solid, but the decisions in terms of the player characters and story… I did not like it at all. They just looked… stupid. Permanently burned-in dumb facial expressions. And, the “tap two fingers to skip” is basically useless. I needed “hold down with two fingers to skip everything”.
