Quest for Infamy: Why Be Famous When You Can Be Infamous?

by on Feb.20, 2014, under news, publishing, quest for infamy

Return to the glory days of classic role-playing and adventure with this humor-filled fantasy epic, styled in the vein of classic PC RPGs, where instead of a brave hero, you play the charming villain. Players can choose from three character classes—brigand (strength), rogue (stealth), or sorcerer (magic), each with unique storylines and adventures—in one of the largest retro role-playing experiences ever.

Blending familiar aspects such as turn-based combat and spell casting along with puzzles to solve and epic adventures, this game can be considered a spiritual heir to yesteryear’s heroic quests and gaming campaigns. Adventurers are invited to explore a world of hand-drawn wonder as they wind their way through trap-infested dungeons and battle slavering beasts with swords or custom-made spells while relieving unsuspecting townsfolk of their treasure.

Featuring dozens of NPCs, customizable skills, and caravans’ worth of loot to hijack, you’re invited to slice, steal, and fast-talk your way to infamy. Being bad has never felt so good!

 

Featuring: 

  • Humorous retro fantasy RPG packed with adventure, puzzles, combat and spellcasting
  • Play as one of three anti-heroes with unique quests: Brigand, Rogue or Sorcerer
  • Use swords, spells or wits to blaze a path to victory: Styles vary with every play
  • Hand-drawn world seamlessly blends role-playing and adventure
  • Over 50 NPCs and 200 rooms to explore and interact with
  • Customize your own spells, skills and adventures
