About the Game

Neverquest is single player RPG, with the soul of an MMORPG from the early 2000s. Designed and produced by a solo-developer over the past two years, the world of Minthra was meticulously hand crafted pixel by pixel.  Begin your quest, and explore, loot and progress through a beautiful and vast open world.

Class-Less Progression System

Experience Minthra in a true "class less" progression system, that lets you mix and match abilities, and spells from any playable class. 

Example Classes:

  • The Druid { a wise hybrid character, with deep roots in nature and a wide array of spells and abilities}

  • The Shadow Knight { a forsaken knight, with dark magic and powerful combat abilities }

  • The Spirit Speaker { a twisted shaman, with the ability to phase in and out of the realm of the living.  A potent spell caster} 

  • The Ranger {a hybrid character that unlocks powerful passive abilities to boost bow attacks, and can wield druidic magic}

Classes have unique spells and passive abilities to help you progress along your adventure.

NPC Guilds for Raiding and Grouping

Players can manage a guild of NPC characters for raiding and grouping with, when you need a little extra help, or just want some companionship.  Experience the following guild features:

  • Recruit from (3) different classes for your guild {tank, sorceress, priestess}, with subclasses available for each main class!

    • {Tank: Myrmidon, High Lord, Berserker} 

    • {Priestess: Cleric, Revenant, Valkyrie} 

    • {Sorceress: Enchantress, Pyromancer, Arch Magician} 

  • Each recruit has a unique personality trait, as well as unique stat values for their core stats.  Will you get lucky and recruit an SS rank guild mate?

Raiding

A MMORPG inspired game cannot exist without Raids.  Some of our best memories as RPG gamers are from those late nights slaying dragons with guildmates.  Neverquest was built to re-create this classic experience, allowing players to craft their perfect raid group, using the NPC members of their guild.  

  • Select your mix of classes to craft the perfect raid force

  • Select your main tank - let's hope he has plenty of AC and HP

  • Deploy large raid forces (up to 50 NPC characters) to tackle Minthra's toughest creatures

Loot and Progression

Neverquest was developed to provide an engaging and rewarding loot system.  Minthra features various factions of monsters through the world.  Each faction has specific loot for players to discover - with a unique loot rolling system, allowing you to work towards collecting and obtaining perfect versions of your favorite items.  

Discover over 50 unique items, each with a modified version for a "perfect roll".  The most powerful items will be obtained from raiding with your guildmates, or taking down rare monsters with your group.

Leaderboards and Online Integration

Neverquest is a single player game, but it features native integration with Microsoft's PlayFab system, allowing players to share builds, and view leaderboards to see how others are progressing through the game.

More to discover.....

Neverquest is the result of hundreds of hours of programming, and years of development.  So much heart and passion went into this game.  I can't wait for players to dive into Minthra, and start their adventure.

Thank you for playing and supporting Neverquest, and the ever expanding world of Minthra.
