Guild Quest (2017)

"Guild Quest (2017)" is a charming idle game where you become a quest-master, tasked with populating islands with adventures for your ever-growing guild. Starting with a single, dilapidated Guildhall, you strategically build and customize quests of various types – from safe adventure quests to challenging battle quests – dictating the pace and direction of your guild's growth. Earn experience to level up your quirky guildians, collect cards to equip them with permanent boosts, and invest star points to personalize their appearance. The core gameplay revolves around crafting custom quest lines tailored to your preferences, and optimizing your guild composition with diverse classes like Knights and Clerics to tackle specific challenges on each island. What sets "Guild Quest" apart and solidifies its place among Hyper Hippo Games' best is its focus on providing a satisfying "second screen" experience. It's designed to be played passively, allowing you to set up your guild's adventures and then return later to reap the rewards and expand your empire. The strategic depth lies in optimizing your quest types, guildian composition, and island management, all while the game continues to progress in the background. This accessibility and continuous progression, combined with the lighthearted art style and engaging customization options, make "Guild Quest" a standout example of Hyper Hippo's knack for creating addictive and approachable idle games that fit seamlessly into busy lifestyles.
