About the Game

The king has summoned you to his castle. The king of demons has declared war against the world and plans to take over. You are the strongest warrior the king knows and asks you to set out to defeat the Demon King and restore peace to the lands!

This is a classic-styled RPG reminiscent of old-school JRPGs, and this will help you understand why people love the genre.

Cliché Quest is a short and approachable retro-styled RPG and is designed to be an introduction into traditional RPGs. If you wanted to get into the genre but felt that current RPGs are too complicated and old-school RPGs are too difficult and primitive, then this will be a great starting place for you!

What to Expect

  • An easy-to-learn turn-based battle system

  • A 2-3 hour adventure

  • Obtain a boat to travel and explore new lands

  • Battle a strong dragon in a dangerous cave

  • An epic battle between you and the Demon King

  • Classic-styled pixel art inspired by NES and SNES JRPGs

Designed for Beginners

  • No over complicated UI or battle systems

  • No overwhelming skill trees

  • No complicated story and 60 hour commitment.

Cliché Quest brings you back to a time when JRPGs were simpler. You can experience grinding (leveling up), explore new lands, and save the world.

This game is made for those who are new to the RPG genre but also fun for those who have experienced RPGs.

Your quest to save the world begins here!
