AS: Indie games that draw inspiration, both visually and mechanically, from 8- and 16-bit games are a dime a dozen. Theres a fine line between updating and revitalizing old mechanics and simply borrowing elements from those games for the sake of familiarity. Elliot Quest definitely walks this line but never really lands into either side of the spectrum. Thats not to say that the game is bad or lacks identity, as it wears its influences on its sleeve, but Elliot Quest establishes a world and narrative of its own. Elliot Quest is a unique case of a game that feels new but has one foot firmly planted in the past as well.
