Play Overview
Costume Quest (2010) is a narrative adventure game where you play a trick-or-treating child whose sibling gets kidnapped by a scary monster. You explore the neighbourhood collecting items for your costume and befriending fellow children to help face the monster and rescue your sibling. It stands out for offering an exciting adventure that's approachable for newcomers and youngsters.
It's a light role-play game where you gain abilities based on the Halloween costume you are wearing. Playing as a child keeps things fun and imaginative. When you encounter monsters there is a battle where you are transformed into giant creatures and take turns to pick attacks. As you progress you build a party of children who help you in quests and battles.
The result is a game that introduces classic role-play and adventure fun without getting overly complex or dark. It's a great game to enjoy together in the family.

Combat is controlled by are by pressing button sequences corresponding to on-screen prompts. Sound effects associated with battle are realistic at times.

There is some violence but it is homespun with cardboard swords and handmade weapons so things never get too graphic.
