Evaluation

Dark Quest originally launched on January 21, 2015. On February 7, 2026, Brain Seal Ltd released a full remaster of the game — Dark Quest Remastered — upgrading it to a new 3D engine, adding Steam Deck and gamepad support, console ports (Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Switch), new spells and items, a revamped village system, and randomly generated quests. This remaster represents the most current and complete version of the game. The store description presents it as "The original Dark Quest, fully remastered," indicating this is a definitive re-release of the product rather than the start of a new content cycle. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no developer announcements of forthcoming content for this title, and no post-remaster communications suggesting further updates are planned. The developer's recent energy has been directed toward Dark Quest 4 (launched November 2025) as its own separate product. Dark Quest Remastered appears to have launched as a complete, finished package.

About this game

The original Dark Quest, fully remastered.

A powerful sorcerer has risen in the land, building a dungeon beneath the village of Darkwood. From this stronghold, his minions raid nearby villages, spreading terror and death. A small band of heroes, led by a mighty barbarian, dares to defy the sorcerer’s power. Take control, descend into the dungeon, and put an end to the evil threatening the realm.
