Nettes kleines Halloween-Abenteuer mit kleinen witzigen Dialogen. Das Spiel ist ein RPG und nimmt sich nicht allzu ernst. Merkwürdige Monster brechen in der Stadt ein und kidnappen die Schwester oder Bruder des Protagonisten, je nachdem welchen Charakter man am Anfang wählt. Das einzige was man in der Situation tun kann ist von Haus zu Haus gehen und die Monster kloppen. Es gibt paar Nebenaufgaben die ganz nett sind. Die Kämpfe wiederholen sich ziemlich schnell, sodass es eintönig werden kann. Die Texte der Personen verschwinden teilweise ziemlich schnell, sodass man schon ein Speedleser sein muss, aber im Großen und Ganzen ein cooles Spiel für zwischendurch.
Trick or treat!!!

???? Costume Quest ????

Der erste Teil von Costume Quest ist zwar schon etliche Jahre alt, charmant und ansprechend ist das Spiel von Double Fine jedoch auch heute noch.

Gameplay

An Halloween müssen wir unseren entführten Zwilling aus den Fängen von Süßigkeiten stehlenden Monstern befreien. Das ist die Hauptquest, doch es bieten sich auch andere im Lauf des Spiels an. Dabei gehen wir natürlich von Tür zu Tür und sammeln Süßigkeiten, durchforsten verschiedene Welten, reden mit den Bewohnern und anderen Kindern und erhalten weitere Kostüme und natürlich müssen wir auch Kämpfen.

Die Wahl unseres Kostüms beeinflusst dabei die Fähigkeiten die während den rundenbasierten Kämpfen eingesetzt werden können. Belohnt wird ein erfolgreicher Kampf mit Süßigkeiten und Erfahrung, wobei Süßigkeiten für Halloween-Sammelkarten eingesetzt werden können, welche ebenfalls Einfluss auf unseren Charakter haben. Im Lauf der Zeit stehen uns so diverse Kostüme mit Kartenverbesserungen zur Verfügung, sodass eine große Vielfalt zustande kommt.

Das gesamte Spiel ist äußerst humoristisch gehalten. Die Dialoge bedienen hier auch einige Klischees und lassen einen das ein oder andere Mal schmunzeln. Wer das Hauptspiel durch hat, kann sich dann auch auf die Seite der Monster schlagen und diesen helfen.

Grafik & Sound

Die niedliche Grafik passt zum Setting. Alles ist rund und süß gehalten. Zuweilen mag die Kameraperspektive etwas hinderlich sein, aber insgesamt gab man sich sehr viel Mühe. Der Sound ist stimmig zu den jeweiligen Welten und natürlich für Halloween. Hier gibt es keine Beanstandungen. Es ist allerdings auch nicht zu düster und gruselig!

Fazit

Das Spiel kann ohne Bedenken gekauft werden und für die 100% bei Errungenschaften benötigt man circa zehn Stunden. Den vollen Preis kann man bezahlen, muss man jedoch nicht. Gerade zu Halloween ist das Spiel immer wieder im Sale und als Einstimmung auf selbiges auch super geeignet. Ebenso geeignet ist es für Kinder ab 8 Jahren.

Genre

Ein Simples aber Humorvolles Turn Based RPG

Story

Es ist Halloween. Ein Geschwisterpärchen (Zwillinge) wollen natürlich raus gehen und Süßigkeiten sammeln, aber als sie gerade dabei sind von Haus zu Haus zu wandern, wird einer von Ihnen von einem echten Monster entführt und wir müssen unser Geschwisterchen jetzt natürlich wieder zurück holen.

Gameplay

Wir suchen uns einen der Zwillinge am anfang des Spiels aus mit dem wir spielen möchten. In der Spielwelt (Overworld) laufen wir herum, reden mit Leuten, lösen Quests und sammeln Süßigkeiten ein (diese gelten als Währung). Wenn wir auf Gegner treffen, kommen wir in den Kampf Modus, hier verwandeln sich unsere Helden in Abbilder ihrer Kostüme und wir schlagen uns in guter alter Turn Based Manier durch. Die Kämpfe laufen simpel ab, man hat einen normalen Angriff und nach 2 Runden kann man einen Spezialangriff einsetzen. Wenn der Gegner zuschlägt können wir per angezeigter Taste Abblocken.

Achievements

Die Achievements sind alle sehr einfach zu bekommen und alle in einem durchspielen möglich. Für das letzte Achievement muss man das Spiel an Weihnachten spielen/starten.

Pro/Contra

+ Humorvoll
+ Add-On mit im Spiel integiert (Grubbins on Ice)
+ Anfängerfreundlich
+ Coole Animationen
+ Die Kostüme sehen im Kampf richtig cool aus
+ Sound & Musik OK
+ Story OK
+ Achievements
+ Sammelkarten

Fazit

Sowohl für Fans von Turn Based RPGs als auch für Neueinsteiger im Genre definitiv ein Blick Wert

Costume Quest ist ein Rundenbasiertes Rollenspiel, jedoch eines der eigenen Klasse. Es hat weder höchstkomplizierte Taktikoptionen, Levelsysteme oder Skilltrees usw.
Die Grafik ist schön Comichaft, auch wenn die Texturen und Lichteffekte nicht immer optimal gelungen sind.
Das Halloweensetting ist passend (da es ja auch nicht soo viele Halloweengames gibt).

Grubbins Galore!

Aw man what a fun journey that was! Costume Quest is truly a joy to play from beginning to end, DLC included. Getting 100% is quite easy and will mostly be awarded unnoticed as long as you play it in the right season. The play time is right for the price and in general the knows when to cut you off.

I loved the story and think that is the main focus here. The is fun gameplay and other great things to the game but its narrative first. I wont spoil anything but its your classic, quirky and funny writing you expect with double fine and it is linear. The base game ends just fine on its own and the included DLC leads into the second title. The story leads you on nicely meshing in the right level of gameplay for this style.

I want to touch on difficulty and gameplay as well. It is not a hard game but thats okay. Its plenty engaging and the different costumes plus stickers make building your team enjoyable! Young audiences should be able to beat the game with little struggle and due to the clean nature of the game it would be a great game to show young family. The different traversal skills make exploration worthwhile too!

Finally the art and music. The soundtrack is perfectly fitting and puts you in the mood. I wouldn't say its anything id listen to out of game but its great to enhance the gameplay. Also the graphics hold up great in my opinion! I would be happy with the art style even if it came out very recently. The transformations, effects, and environments all look amazing!

In conclusion: If your looking for a fun seasonal story there is no better game! Give it a go!

Costume Quest is a fun halloween-themed turn-based RPG about wearing costumes and beating up monsters. This game is genuinely funny and has a lot of content as well, containing a plethora of well designed and interesting costumes, a world filled with interesting characters and a decent combat system to boot. After garnering 76 hours worth of playing time and earning every achievement, I can say that this game is one of my favourite games that I've ever played, and I hope that anyone else who ends up stumbling upon this franchise enjoys it just as much as me.

All the little games, collecting all the cards and the candy, the exploration was super fun and the story never got boring.

Finally finished after a few years of only playing this game a little bit each October and it made me cry partially because it's very cute and partially because it's a tradition I've seen to its natural conclusion. I know there's a sequel, but you can't play Costume Quest for the first time twice.

Short little game, perfect for October. Gets repetitive pretty quickly and doesn't have too many tricks up its sleeve, getting around the maps can be a little annoying if you're not constantly using the Robot's skates. I had a good time with it, but it's not amazing or anything and I'll probably forget about it until next Halloween.

It's an enjoyable experience for anyone willing to stick with it's admitted tricky combat controls. fun and engaging main story line; as well as an exciting optional story set a few months after the main story as a, sort of, mini sequel. I'd definitely recommend it to anybody looking to enjoy a fun, festive, and charming game during the Halloween season.

Incredible game, easy to follow while remaining engaging.

My favorite part about Costume Quest is that it shys away from any sort of reference humor or overly-quirky writing. This writing style, combined with the classic comic-book/cartoony art approach, makes this game timeless.

It's short, but as short as it needs to be. Double Fine at their best.

Great little game.
Do you have that movie you watch every year for a holiday? This is that, but a game. You can beat it in just a few hours, so it's perfect for blowing through it every year on Halloween. It's a little shallow, and it's not difficult by any means, but the concept is cool and the art is charming.
Buy it and spend the few hours on it every Halloween, like I've done on and off since it first came out.

Then get 2, which is more of a fleshed out (and to be honest, straight up better) game, but not quite as pitch perfect on the holiday tone.

Adorable combat/adventure game. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Pros:
- Cute enjoyable graphics
- Entertaining dialogue
- Some of the costumes and powers for the costumes are amazing, especially the ones you least expect to be good
- General combat is straightforward and not overly difficult
- Boss battles are more difficult but not excessively so, which I find with a lot of games
- Hints are provided automatically in certain areas where they could be needed
- The length felt good - the game was enjoyable but didn't overstay its welcome

Cons:
- You can't use all of your costumes in the Grubbins on Ice expansion. However, this complaint was completely forgotten once I unlocked the costumes for the expansion.
- There are a few hidden/hard to access areas where I had to look up how to get there. If these were just bonus chests I think this would be fine, but one contained a costume part so I think it should have been made slightly more obvious how to access it.

Verdict: 9/10

In this, the spooky month, I thought it would be appropriate to play Costume Quest 2. Once I started it and was thoroughly confused, I realized I never played the DLC epilogue for Costume Quest so I figured I better finish that up first.

I also figured I might as well talk about how much I like Costume Quest! It's a short, simple, fun little Halloween adventure perfect for a break between all the spooky games I torture myself with every October. It's super cute. The characters are super likable. The concept of hiding random encounters in houses to trick-or-treat is really funny to me. And the ridiculous kaiju-sized turn based battles have some spectacularly silly animations and attacks.

There's not a lot of depth to the battle system; instead of keeping you engaged with varied abilities and tactics, Costume Quest relies more on simple back and forth Paper Mario style action-commands and one slowly charging special move. I can see why someone would find it a bit too slight, but I thought the battles moved at a good clip and the mixing and matching costumes and battle stamps gave me enough of a basic tactical bent for my JRPG addled brain.

It probably goes without saying but the writing is really good. Double Fine games almost always have really good writing so I've come to expect it, but it's not like really good writing just magically appears in the game so kudos on the writing team once again. It's unfortunate though that the game's dialogue text auto-advances; it'd be fine if the adventure was voiced, but it's (understandably) not. It didn't overly impact me, but that's definitely an accessibility concern for slower readers.

Still, Costume Quest is definitely a cheap and wonderful little treat, perfect for October. Now to speed through the sequel before I run out of spooky month.

Playtime corner: I have no idea why Steam thinks I spent 110 hours on Costume Quest. The game is great, but it isn't finish it ~20 times great.

It’s that time of year again, Halloween and Trick-or-Treating for everyone. That is until you run into some alie- er, I mean, Repugians, who are hell bent on taking all the candy in your neighborhood, including your sibling who’s dressed as a candy corn. It’s time to team up with some new friends to save your sibling and Halloween in Costume Quest.

The Good

Nice Halloween story, with an added cool use for costumes.

As noted in the intro, the story is centered around Halloween, with two siblings getting ready to go Trick-or-Treating, until you run into some weird creatures that kindaps one of the siblings and steals candies from the neighborhood. In general, it’s a simple story to understand, has plenty of humor on the way and puts a nice reminder on what a fun night of Halloween should be. Having kids enjoying Trick or Treating in costumes with their friends and parents/guardians.

A bonus plus that should be noted is the use of costumes in this game. Not only is there a nice variety, but each can help you explore your surroundings, be used to help you in battles against the enemy, and they each have their different strengths and special moves that provides a nice flash for those looking for an added flare.

The Bad

Battles can be potentially unfavored in the beginning.

The battle system is fairly simple to get used to and the enemies that you fight provide a good challenge… as you progress through the game, that is.

Early on, the enemies fight at almost the same strength as your team. While this does indeed give a good challenge, a false move or bad team combination can cost you a battle very easily. This makes the beginning of the game feel more difficult than necessary. Once you get past the first section, the difficulty starts to lighten up and the rest of the game becomes easier to manage.

The Ugly

Certain areas aren’t oriented properly.

Costume Quest doesn’t have any camera movement. As a result, the camera is fixed in an isometric position. For the most part, the camera angle is setup well, with the only exceptions being in situations where you go to the back areas, such as behind a house or in a wooded area. In those areas, there’s a lot of obstruction and the trees aren’t transparent enough for you to get a good view of such areas, thus making it difficult to find hidden goodies.

While the beginning of the game might be tough to get around, Costume Quest does deliver the rest of the way through it’s story and gameplay. With “you-know-what” going on around the world, why not enjoy a little Halloween adventure from your living room? Pick this game up and enjoy the ride.

This is a fun Halloween game. It is short and easy but entertaining and puts you into the Holiday mood. I like to play it every year around Halloween.

I really enjoyed this game. It was sort of simple but more just a fun little challenge. It felt like a nice break from some of the more intense games, and was fun to just kind in play for a chill night where I'm more focused on discord conversations etc.

The art style was nice and smooth and the concept of unlocking costumes with different parts was neat. However, this game was a grind without much variety. Outside of battles you're just combing the map for candy or treasure. The battles are repetitive with no strategy besides attack (though occasionally a boss would be easier to beat with certain abilities equipped). Several costumes have similar attacks. There are clearly stamps that were more useful than others. When you beat an area, you move on to the next one and the same formula is applied. There are some puzzles but they're not too difficult if you just brute-force them.

I was hoping this would be at least a relaxing game for multi-tasking, but the battles require your attention to time attacks and defenses. Overall, it's not that this game is terrible. It's just not worth the time you'll put into it. Save your time and play another game.

A little more repetitive than the second game, and the costumes aren't as elaborate with abilities, Costume Quest is still a fun couple of hours well spent. The first game does provide more of a challenge when compared to Costume Quest 2, but is still more than accessible to people old and young. A great buy on sale.

This is a great game. I had no idea that there would be Kaiju fights (you get to fight with giant monsters as a giant yourself :D). I loved the puzzle elements, the fighting mechanics while simple are satisfying and challenging. Bobbing for apples brought back childhood memories and running around on Halloween night with your friends made me feel warm inside.

I received this game as a gift for Christmas or my birthday one year, and loved it. It was pretty easy to learn, and the different levels or scenes were great. Some levels contained quests that made the game last a very long time - however I was leisurely playing it, so that could be a reason as to why it took me so long. With that being said, sometimes when you are fighting the villians, it could become somewhat repetitive. I did love the costumes though, and enjoyed seeing what different specials each costume had. I played this game on my keyboard/computer without a controller, and actually really enjoyed doing it that way. The only other complaint that I'd have is that the level/quests at the mall were more challenging, but I believe that it was more due to the lack of light in the level which got increasingly frustrating over time (and this was even with my brightness level on my screen maxed out). I really enjoyed this game though, which caused me to play through the second even more quickly!

Straight forward - sometimes annoyingly so - play on final fantasy type game - cute story.

Overall a fun time - may go back and finish the 2nd story at some point.

Cute, light, trick-or-treating themed RPG that owes a lot to Paper Mario. You've got a party of 3 kids that can swap out unlockable costumes to get various powers, both in combat and in the world. The game is pretty easy. While you do level up, there is no stat allocation. There are, however, stickers that you can buy with your candy and equip one per kid, and they can be swapped out at any time. If you die, it just kicks you out back into the map so that you can try again. There's also a bobbing for apples minigame that's fairly easy.

The basic gameplay centers around going door to door asking for candy. Each house in a neighborhood has about a 50-50 split of adults who will give you candy and monsters that you have to fight. Once you've visited all the houses, a gate opens up and you can move to the next area. Not super complicated stuff, but still fun enough.

Game #68 3.2.2020.
You know, what’s awesome? Halloween! You know what sucks? It sucks that I live in a country where “Halloween” isn’t really celebrated (I mean we have this thing where kids go around and sing songs for candy but it’s not NEARLY as fun as Halloween).
So what exactly is Halloween? Well, if you ask my dad, he will say how it’s a stupid American celebration where they celebrate how they burned witches. While that technically may be true, one only needs to play this game to get the true spirit of Halloween.
The whole point of this holiday is to put on a costume and (if you are a child) go from door to door and beg for candy, and IT’S AWESOME. Even though I’ve never experienced Halloween myself, I absolutely adore this holiday. I look forward to seeing all the cool costumes people wear, how they decorate their houses, all the scary movies they show, it’s overall just a really great day.
Costume Quest isn’t a great game only because it’s based on Halloween. It’s a great game because it’s fun, innocent, creative, colorful and, most importantly, short enough that you can beat it in about one sitting (okay, maybe 2-3 tops).
Actually, I was going to cheat my way through this review and base it mainly on everything I remembered about this game, but as I started writing I realized that I had forgotten a lot about it (Last time I played it was back in 2015). I did, however, vividly remember that I had an absolute blast playing through it and even getting all Steam Achievements. Well, I am happy to say that it took me very little time to remember why I loved this game so much back in 2015.
Did I mention this was made and published by Double Fine productions? Did I mention I also love their games except for a few lousy ones *cough* Brutal Legend *cough*.
Anyway, Costume Quest is an isometric turn based RPG where you play as a kid that goes around trick or treating. After you select between a brother and a sister, you set out in your cute little costume to go trick or treating. Little do you realize that monsters have invaded your town and they are after the most precious resource of them all: CANDY. Not just that but because your sibling dressed like a giant piece of candy corn, they kidnap him/her as well, so now, not only do you have to go around trick or treating, you have to save your sibling and defeat the monsters. Yeah, it’s safe to say that this is absolutely adorable, for me at least. What can I say? I’m just a sucker for such childish plots.
So, the game consists of a couple of levels. Each level has a set number of quests you have to do. While I don’t wanna waste time talking about how cute all the quests are, the one quest you will have on each level is: Trick or Treating. You will go up to the front door of a house, knock on the door and yell: “Trick or Treat”. Either an adult will open and give you candy OR a monster will open a door and attack you.
So now we come to our turn based RPG battles and as much as I want to praise this system, it’s extremely basic. Basic enough that even little kids can get it, which is actually a good thing. Your party consist of 3 characters (You and two more kids that trick or treat with you) and you normally fight up to 3 monsters. So, what can kids do against monsters? Why, use the powers of their costumes of course! Are you dressed like a robot? BAM! You turn into Optimus Prime! Wearing a knight’s armor! BAM! You are a knight the size of a building! Each costume has its own attacks and special abilities and the best part is you can swap them and create new ones as you progress through the game. Each costume also has a special ability that you can use while trick or treating. The battles themselves are just selecting a target and pressing the attack button where you can also do a quick-time-event to attack harder and reduce damage. Yeah, as fun as I might make this sound great, it’s extremely basic, which again, is probably a good thing.
The game features cartoony graphics and child-friendly spooky tunes which perfectly set the tone for a Halloween themed game. There is no voice acting and the dialogue boxes sometimes move a bit fast and you don’t get to press a button to advance them, which is weird, so you better get ready to read fast as well. The controls work OK on the keyboard + mouse but I highly recommend you use a controller only because it will make those pesky quick-time-events easier.
Like I mentioned, the best part about this game is it’s length. Just like Halloween, it’s over before you know it, which, again, is great, for me at least. Look, don’t get me wrong, I love RPGS, they are fantastic. However, whenever I hear the word “RPG”, you know what I think? 100+ hours of gameplay. How awesome is it, that you can beat this RPG in about 5 hours (8 if you do all the extra stuff). For a 30 year old dad who barely has time to play video games anymore, this is absolutely mouth-watering.
Just like all the sweet candy a kid can get in a single Halloween night, Costume Quest is a very sweet game. Sure, it’s gone before you know it, but it sure tastes good.

Next game: Counter Strike Source (F*** ME!)

An adorable little RPG game. It somehow made me think of a kid-friendly turn-by-turn version of Deathspank, whose creator also worked at Doublefine later on. Has a few issues, but they're largely forgiven.

We'll be rulers for a thousand years, but come back and it's only been 10 minutes?

Pretty lovely rpg of a group of childs and their Halloween adventure, with a funny story and a cute graphic style.

Perfect for children or for those looking for an easy adventure or role-playing game.

It's something like South Park: The Stick of Truth, but something else simple, with a much lighter mood (much more) and with cute kids instead Cartman.

Such a simple but nice adventure/rpg game. Gameplay reminded me a bit of South Park: The Stick of Truth, and as I enjoyed South Park I also enjoyed Costume Quest. If you haven’t played it but love rpg games, I recommend it to you.

One of my favorites of all time. This is right up there with Psychonauts.
The art and design is enjoyable cute and interesting, the concept fun, the writing silly and engaging enough that you don't generally desire to skip through to the next thing. The quests are perfectly paced, not too hard, not too easy, not too long, not too short. I consider this a gem. Especially fun to play around halloween every year.

13/10 great game

A quick but fun time. Play this if you want something short and sweet! (See what I did, there?)

This game is a simple, quick jaunt through a child's imagination at Halloween. You question at times what's really going on, and you get swept up in the charm and nostalgia. Because of the ease with which you can finish this, plus the fact that the dialog tends to steer clear of dating itself, I can easily see this game being replayable for years to come. I will definitely revisit this again.

Gameplay: 7
Dialog: 9
Replayability: 8 (if you like to revisit stories, in general)
Overall: 8/10

A cute Halloween RPG which is perfect for the season.

They really took care of this small game with the funny cutscenes.

BTW which other RPG let's you play as Robot, Knight or Statue of Liberty in the same game? How can this not be an argument for buying this game? ;P

The only negative point so far I've seen is that the enemy variety is kinda small. They look basically like a reskin of the same creature.

Never before have I experienced a game that hits the same emotion as actually trick-or-treating as a child. It's equal parts humorous, adorable and all-around a blast to play. Sure the gameplay itself may be simple and deemed easy, but it doesn't have to be difficult to be entertaining. This game is extremely fun, loaded with adorable, lovable characters, and hits that nostalgia feeling from childhood Halloweens like none other. An absolute joy to play!
