  • I really love the narrative touches in this quest and the various enemy challenges like the zombies resurrecting and the suits of armour. Great work!
  • 1. Fun Factor (4/5): The quest delivers an engaging dungeon crawl experience with a thrilling climax against Malachi and his cultists. The strategic depth introduced by the undead respawn mechanic keeps tension high; however, the repetition of similar mechanics (respawning zombies, skeletons, mummies) can become monotonous after several encounters. 2. Design (3.5/5): Polished and functional, the quest maintains logical flow and fairness. While the respawn mechanic adds challenge, limited resource management opportunities and repetitive room designs slightly hinder the overall polish. Varying encounter designs and integrating diverse room layouts could enhance the experience. 3. Narrative (3/5): The Lich Lord narrative is compelling, fitting well within HeroQuest’s dark fantasy theme. However, deeper lore integration and richer descriptive storytelling are needed to truly immerse players. Adding atmospheric details would strengthen consistency and engagement. 4. Staying Power (3.5/5): Solid core mechanics support replayability, but the linear progression and repetitive encounter structure reduce long-term variability. Introducing narrative branches, hidden lore, or diverse objectives could improve accessibility and replay value. Overall Rating: 3.5/5 Feedback for the Creator: Strengths: The climactic battle against Malachi is exhilarating, and the respawn mechanic adds strategic depth. The dark fantasy theme aligns well with HeroQuest’s atmosphere. Areas for Improvement: Diversify room encounters to break repetitive patterns. Enrich narrative elements to boost immersion. Consider adding lore-based rewards or alternative pathways to incentivize exploration. Final Thoughts: Quest offers a challenging, engaging adventure with a solid foundation. With narrative enhancements and encounter variety, it has the potential to become an outstanding addition to HeroQuest quests.

the name of this quest should be labyrinth of the dead  as I mixed the names of two quests I added to itch at the same time but no biggy just a name
