Power Quest

Power Quest, known in Japan as , is a role-playing-based fighting video game developed by Japan System Supply for the Game Boy Color. It was published in Japan by Capcom on November 27, 1998, and published in North America by Sunsoft in December 1998. It later received a limited European release in July 1999. In the game, a new craze has hit the town: fighting with model robots. The player walks around the town as the main character, but takes control of the model robot during fights. There are six robot models available, each with different stats and special moves. The models are Max, Gong, Axe, Speed, Lon and Borot. Over time, the player earns credits and buys parts to improve their model. In addition to the story mode, there is a versus mode that allows the player to fight immediately. Gameplay The gameplay of Power Quest is a mixture of two genres: role-playing and fighting. The player ventures around the town in which they live on an overworld map. After arriving at a location, a character appears on the screen with some dialogue. This dialog typically involves the character challenging the player to a fight. After being challenged by a character, the game switches to a one-on-one fighting game engine. This is the role-playing battle system which differs from the usual turn-based battle engines of the genre. New parts can be bought for a model, which is how experience is gained throughout the game. Progress through the game is made by challenging a certain number of people before the next event is triggered. Special events pop up throughout the game after this number is met which usually involve a tournament or beating some strong boss-type character.
