EvilQuest, the new retro-style action/RPG from Chaosoft Games that puts the player in the villain's shoes, is making its way to Windows PC via Desura. The game will be available for download on February 29, 2012 at a cost of $1.99 US and is currently available for preorder on Desura.

EvilQuest turns the Action-RPG genre on its head by putting the player in the role of a villain bent on world domination, rather than the traditional role of a hero trying to save the world. As the dark knight Galvis, the player begins the story by staging a daring escape from an imperial prison and unleashes his lust for vengeance and power on a world that is ripe for the taking. As the story progresses, Galvis will gain untold power, ultimately leading to a confrontation with the gods themselves. The outcome will determine the fate of the world and decide who is worthy to wield ultimate power.

More details are available on the Chaosoft Games website, Chaosoftgames.com

EvilQuest, the new Action/RPG by Chaosoft Games, was released to the world on Xbox Live Indie Games on January 4, 2012.

EvilQuest is available for 80 MSP/$1 US and can be found on Xbox Live by using the Bing search or browsing the XBLIG Marketplace. There is also a link below to purchase the game online, after which it will download automatically to your Xbox 360 game library the next time you sign on to Xbox Live.

It's been quite a time since release just keeping up with promotion, sales, ratings, reviews, interviews, and interaction with fans - but overall we're thrilled with the response we've received from the XBLIG community. Tonight we're celebrating our successful launch with a release party at a local gaming-themed bar that has classic arcade cabinets and console games on tap.

We're also releasing a patch very soon that will add some additional tips and instructions to help first-time players, and also trim a little bit of the length of the intro without damaging the story we want to tell.

We continue to work on the PC port of EvilQuest and basically have a workable version finished already. However, It still needs some additional features and extensive testing on a variety of hardware before we'll be ready to release it.

For now, check out the game on the Xbox, or stay tuned to the Chaosoft Games website and social media channels for info about the release date of the PC port as well as our future projects.

Thank you to all of our fans and customers who purchased EvilQuest, and to those in the XBLIG community as well as the larger indie community who have helped to support and promote us.

So we've spent the past couple weeks tying up loose ends on EvilQuest and focusing heavily on promotion. This week we got our trailer on GameTrailers and also were featured in an interview on the site Did-Not-Finish. Check our news page here on Indie DB for more details. We are continuing to nail down final sound effects and putting in some of those "would be nice to have" features that we weren't sure would make it into the game in time.

Chaosoft Games is putting the final touches on its upcoming Action/RPG title, EvilQuest, and is preparing to release it shortly after Christmas 2011. We've recently posted a new YouTube video which can be seen right here on Indie DB and Mod DB in our videos section. We've also recently conducted an interview about EvilQuest that will be posted here soon once it goes live.
