Doce ou Travesuras !!!

Costume quest e um jogo muito gostosinho de se jogar por causa da sua gameplay sendo bem facil ate podendo ser um pouco repetitiva, pois como um rpg por turnos so temos como atacar ou mandar o ataque especial quando cheio, so por isso deixa o jogo muito facil, mas eu senti falta de podermos defender ou usar itens isso para mim e um dos acertas e ponto baixo do jogo por se muito simples de jogar mas isso fez o jogo ser bem relaxante de se jogar, sem ter muitas dor de cabeça ou dificuldade tirando um pouco mais difícil ,mas não tanto assim, os chefões finais.

A história eu achei ela bem simpática e praticamente aqueles filmes de hallowenn infatil que as crianças vão atras de doces e acabam se envolvendo com alguma trama paranormal, e como o jogo e cheio de charme como a double fine consegue fazer deixa bem legal de ver o desenrolar dela, mesmo sendo bem simples.

E um jogo que vale a pena dar uma olha pois como esta no gamepass, e também sendo bem curto para zerar fazendo ele sde um jogo bem relaxante de se jogar.

Sights & Sounds
- Cute cartoony environments and character designs
- The music is appropriately whimsical, but you won't be humming along or anything
- it's a Double Fine game, so you can count on the presentation to be pretty decent irrespective of the other aspects of the game

Story & Vibes
- It's your run-of-the-mill "save the princess" (or in this case, your sister) narrative
- It's a cute, cozy game. Mostly chill due to being devoid of challenge
- There's some humor in the game, but nothing outrageously funny

Playability & Replayability
- The game is pretty standard turn-based RPG fare in terms of gameplay, but pared down pretty significantly. No stat trees, no skill points, no crafting, no missable party members, etc. You just explore and fight
- At first, I enjoyed the simplicity, but by the end of the game, fights were a chore
- The boss fights offer some variety, but not much
- I don't think I'll be running back in for the other achievements; I lost interest in the game by the end. I also couldn't get my saved data to carry over to the DLC, but I'm not too heartbroken over it

Overall Impressions & Performance
- Although the Steam Deck compatability is only listed as "playable" due to supposedly small text, I had no problem reading anything despite my awful vision
- It ran well on PC, but the area right before the final boss was a little framey on the Steam Deck. It ran fine otherwise

Final Verdict
- 5.5/10. This is probably more in the wheelhouse of the so-called "cozy gamers", but I found the package a little bland. A < 6 hour RPG shouldn't feel like it overstays its welcome

Costume Quest is a classic RPG with lots of humor and child adventure. The art style is cute and the battles remind me of the South Park episode where the kids transformed into anime action fighters outside of their normal dialogue.

The collectables are fun and there is enough of a challenge to unlock the various items to build on the world and make it enjoyable.

The DLC was also fun with the new costumes but the main game was better imo.

costume quest is a harmless, cute rpg that is perfect for kids and is very charming and nostalgiac for adults. I didn't play this game as a kid like most people on here seemed to, I got it for free through the epic games store and it got chosen on my wheel of Halloween games. I can't even imagine how much fun I would have had with this if I played it when it came out, but going into it as an adult, it was a tad too easy for me. i don't fault the game for this, it is a kid's game, but at the same time playing it as an adult feels very grindy. the whole game feels like fighting low level enemies to level up in other rpgs. and again, i understand why it's like that, and i'm ok with it, but it did impact how I felt towards it. the one thing I love about this game is how it nails what Halloween feels like when you're young. it made me smile multiple times and really miss my trick or treating days. a great game for fall time.

A very enjoyable little game to play around Halloween. I played this on the PS3 sometime ago and I LOVED it. This is one of those well made games by Tim Schafer that is endless fun.

Edit: The story is about two kids, brother and sister, who go out trick-or-treating, however, goblin creatures from another world have come out to steal candy for a mysterious nefarious purpose. As these kids, you're able to fight them due to the properties of the world these creatures come from, your characters are able to actually utilise the abilities of the costumes that they wear.

For example, the robot costume turns you into a big mecha that launches rocket fists, the knight turns you into a holy knight and so on with all the many costumes you can unlock later, some being far more powerful!

To make the costume you need to collect not only the materials, but also the blueprints for them which is often a lot of fun to look up new costumes and gain new powers too. Some of which will give you abilities you allow you into other areas and bypass hazards. Beyond that, it's a really fun game to play. Especially around Halloween.

Costume Quest is somewhere in my top 10 favorite childhood games, and I still really like it to this day. It's a game that captured my imagination as a kid, and I always found its atmosphere and tone to be cozy and fun. I used to have a tradition where I'd play it to 100% completion every October. It's one of my favorite games ever, and I think it holds up to this day.

Gameplay:
Costume Quest is a turn-based RPG with adventure game elements that takes place at Halloween. You play as one of two siblings, Reynold or Wren, and go on a mission to save the other after they are mistaken for a piece of candy by a candy-stealing army of monsters. You team up with two other kids and use the powers of your costumes to fight your way through the game's many encounters.

Your primary objective is to trick-or-treat at every house before you can move on, either encountering a normal person at the door or a monster which you must take down. I always loved (and slightly feared) the trick-or-treating aspect as a kid, as there's a tense build-up to the door being opened, leaving you to wonder if you're in for a trick or a treat. There's lot of things to do off the beaten path though. There's tons of hidden areas to find and side objectives to do. The main form of currency in the game is candy, which you can get by trick-or-treating or collecting in other ways. You mainly use it to buy stamps which give you special benefits to help you in combat. Stamps are also reward through side objectives. The main motivation for exploring, however, is the costumes. There's a good variety of costumes to collect and wear throughout the game. Some have certain applications for progression and puzzle-solving, but all have their own niches in combat that make them worth collecting and using. Costumes are constructed by finding three of their pieces scattered throughout an area. Once you get the pieces, the costume is yours and can be equipped onto any of your three party members at any time.

Combat is fun yet simple enough for a kid to understand. You can definitely call it "baby's first RPG", because it was certainly mine. It's a good system though. Everything is pretty straight-forward. Time that would otherwise be spent looking at stats and equipping gear is replaced with focus on team composition through swapping around costumes and equipping a stamp that would benefit a certain costume's niche. As for the battles themselves, they see your characters transforming into giant versions of what their costumes represent. For example: you wear a knight costume, you turn into a giant knight. The enemies do the same. For most of the battle, you'll be pressing a single button to initiate an attack and some extra buttons to boost its damage. After a couple turns, a meter will build up and allow a costume to use its special abilities. Some costumes unleash a powerful attack on a single enemy, some can hit multiple enemies, some will give buffs, and some will heal. This is where the team composition element comes in. There isn't much to do outside of that in battles though. Luckily, the combat stays entertaining through its enemy variety and set amount of battles. The game's also pretty short too, so you can rest assured that nothing will be overstaying its welcome.

Story:
The story isn't too crazy, obviously, but I do find it quite fun for what it is. Like I said before, it's basically about one sibling saving another sibling who has been kidnapped and also it's Halloween. There's a few fun twists though and some interesting characters here and there. I especially love the writing. It's very charming and I appreciated it even as a kid. There's uh... not too much to say outside of that.

Sound and visuals:
The sound design and music is pretty dang good, though the mixing can be a little weird at times.

As for the visuals, they're also pretty dang good. The characters in the overworld are cartoony and cute, which is humorously contrasted by the more detailed art style that the battles switch to. The environments are full of warm colors that really help to see the fall vibes. There's a nice variety in the settings as well. There's some really fun and creative designs all-around. I did always find the UI to be a bit underwhelming, but it's still fairly solid.

Conclusion:
Costume Quest is simply a really fun and charming game. Though it may be short, taking about only 5-7 hours to fully complete, it still manages to feel like a fulfilling experience thanks to its focused progression and meaningful side content. I don't think any other piece of media captures the fun of Halloween for a kid quite like this does. It is definitely a game I'd recommend, especially since it goes on sale for very cheap on Steam.

Is this primarily aimed at children? Probably. Was I ever a child? I sure was.

And that's why this Halloween-based RPG was absolutely some of the most fun I've ever had in October. It isn't hard; just fun and repetitive in a way that really appeals to MY gaming hobby of enjoying my free time with limited challenge. I loved this for all the same reasons I still enjoy Pokemon as a 36 year old man. It's. Just. Fun.

100% with all costumes, battle stamps, and cards.
