Quest of Infamy plays absolutely wonderful on the small screen. The Switch is my absolute favorite way to play video games in general, but not everything transitions from PC to Nintendo’s handheld exceptionally well. Still, the writing is fun enough that I’m enjoying exploring even if I’m not quite sure what I’m actually trying to achieve. There are a lot of fun bits of story to unlock in and around the town, but I’m not sure I’ve uncovered the main plot yet. There are a lot of really fun accents and deliveries to the jokes, and the occasional echoes in the recordings feel like they fit right in with the retro aesthetic.Īs far as I’ve seen so far, the narrative thrust is really slow in Quest for Infamy. I wouldn’t say that either the audio quality or the performances are top tier across the board, but it’s all good enough. I do love that Quest for Infamy seems to be entirely voice-acted. Or, rather, you can try to do those things, but trying to pick a fight with something like a door will get you a quip from the omniscient narrator telling you what a dummy you are, rather than initiating an actual fight. There are three different movement speeds (sneaking, walking, and running), and you can also look at, talk to, touch, or fight anything you can see. You interact with the game by moving a cursor around and clicking on sections of the environment. The prelude has you sneaking out the window of a castle after the lord catches you in bed with a maid, then you set off on the run and end up in a quaint town on the day of an execution. I’m not sure if being a scoundrel in a medieval town is as much of a point-and-click trope as I think it is, but the setting of Quest of Infamy is exactly what I expect from an old-school adventure game. ![]() Now that I’ve spent some time with it, I can happily say that it totally works! Quest for Infamy is a great throwback game that has made an excellent transition to the Nintendo Switch. The trailer for Quest for Infamy’s Switch launch caught my eyes with its excellent aesthetics and sarcastic sense of humor. My background is almost entirely in console gaming, but every once in a while a throwback to the early days of PC gaming hits me with nostalgia like a ton of bricks.
