Whimsical Quest

Whimsical Quest is a retro action roguelite adventure with enough nostalgia to entertain the old-schoolers. Fight through randomized maps, collect over 50 items, unlock different characters, collect pets to fight with you and prepare to destroy the typical evil one that won't be revealed until you meet him. Classic.
