This week, I’m looking at another mobile app game, called Mine Quest. In this game, you play as Orli the dwarf, who has found himself lost, and accompanied by a fairy. It’s your job to “tap” through mines, finding upgrades, and discover what happened to the rest of the dwarves.
You start out on a basic map, trying to find a way off the island. Soon you find the schematics to an air balloon ship, and start off on your adventure. Each map has hidden mines, with more upgrades for weapons, picks, armor, and more ships.
The mines are pretty straight forward. You break blocks to progress. Sometimes you find monsters that you kill to get materials. The main objective is to find the upgrade scrolls. But sometimes there are artifacts hidden in the dirt blocks, and finding a whole collection will give you rewards.
The better your weapons, the faster you kill monsters. The better your pick, the faster you can mine through blocks. The better your armor, the less damage you take. And the better your ship, the more islands you unlock.
While there are gems you can buy with cash, you really don’t feel like it’s required. Gems are rewarded from leveling up, and sometimes found in chests hidden within the mines. You can use these gems to hurry crafting times, but the smartest way to use them is to upgrade energy regeneration rates. It doesn’t look like a huge game, but it’s a pretty fun time waster.
I give Mine Quest 5 out of 6 dice.
