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.

Completed with 100% of achievements unlocked (200G). Costume Quest is a short, simple RPG with a Halloween theme, where the player takes control of a small party of children out "trick-or-treating". The game revolves around collecting parts of costumes that serve to facilitate puzzle-solving and to grant combat abilities when facing off against enemy monsters which roam the environments and sometimes inhabit the houses that you visit seeking candy. Those battles are the second major part of the game and again fairly simple, with your party facing off against monsters in a turn-based fashion. Combat abilities are limited to a basic attack and a costume-specific special with a three-turn cooldown, with the only additional depth coming from equipable badges. While these mechanics are clearly rather basic, the game as a whole is elevated by a wonderful sense of charm, typical of Double Fine's games, so it's a decently fun time through the six or so hours that it takes to play through to completion.

Rating: 5.5/10 - Bad

The artstyle and length and different costumes are good but unfortunately, they are the only interesting things about the game.

How can anyone make a turn-based rpg where characters only have 2 moves and think that's ok is beyond me.

Jogado no Xbox Game Pass / Cloud Gaming. Eu gosto demais de RPGs de turno fofinhos com minigames para ataques, então não seria tão difícil assim de gostar de Costume Quest. Mesmo com pouco conteúdo pra oferecer e uma certa repetição mecânica, eu gostei bastante das batalhas ao ponto de fazer 100% no jogo.

Mesmo não ligando muito pra Halloween, eu gostei do charme da historinha, que realmente são só crianças tentando salvar a cidade deles de monstros comedores de doce sem que nenhum adulto sequer ajude.

You get to put on costuuumes. And beat bad guys! And THAT'S! THE! END!

This is my shortest review.

Easily the most appropriate game to finish on Halloween!

There's a fantastic amount of charm to a game all about Trick-or-Treating. I also loved that the costumes can be changed at any time, so it feels like your party is much larger than it really is.

My biggest take from this game was that more RPGs should have a finite amount of enemies, completely eliminating grind. Apart from making a game about being kids on Halloween, that specific feature is the game's best concept.
