A Slime Called Quest

The release date for A Slime Called Quest is July 28, 2026, on PC. Developed as a solo project, this 16-bit RPG focuses on a narrative journey away from a starting island using a party of customizable slimes. While the first chapter is available now for early testing, the full version will continue the story across multiple episodic updates.

The game distinguishes itself by removing the standard genre friction of grinding and random encounters. You only fight boss characters and specific NPCs using a conditional turn-based system where you can manipulate the move order to your advantage. Items replenish after every fight and weapons act as distinct archetypes rather than simple stat boosts, rewarding tactical flexibility over repetitive leveling. RPG fans tired of filler should wishlist this for its condensed, strategic approach to turn-based combat.

Wishlist this if you want a lean SNES-style adventure that respects your time.
