I love Side Quest, as many of you are fully aware. During the few months that the game was open to the public for early development testing, I can honestly say that I played it more than any other game in my library, much to my enjoyment and the dismay of whoever had to field my bug reports. For those of you out of the loop, I described Side Quest in one article as Patapon meets fantasy MMO. Your heroes move across the screen on their own volition, and it is up to you to manage special attacks, potions, and anything else that may be present on the battlefield. Where Side Quest strives to be make a name for itself is in the boss battles, each with a unique battle mechanic. One tasks the player with riding down a fast moving river on a log raft, maneuvering the log to avoid rocks while still paying attention to the giant squid attacking them. It also has a rather humorous story and a fine pvp battle system in both synchronous and asynchronous.
Now the first Side Quest asked for $10,000 on Kickstarter and fell rather short of their goal. The team has gone back to Kickstarter to fund the second half of this sports reference before the game can launch. The Fractal Entertainment crew is asking for five grand, offering a number of rewards including the ability to design your own weapon, armor, or even an NPC. There are the usual grab bag of rewards available, including cash shop coins and beta access, as well as a meet and greet at higher levels.
Check out the trailer for the game below.
