About the game
Get your hero squad ready, because chaos is knocking at the door! In Tiny Epic Quest, the world is being invaded by a horde of goblins emerging from a vile portal, putting the peace of the elves and the mushroom folk at risk. You take control of a trio of elf heroes in a sandbox adventure that feels like it jumped straight out of a classic video game RPG. The goal is simple yet requires strategy: you can focus on closing the portal or wiping out all the goblins in the realm. Whoever accumulates the most victory points through quests, combat, and learning spells wins the day!

The game operates on a day and night cycle that dictates the pace of your journey. During the day, the focus is on exploration: you'll travel across various terrains—on foot, on horseback, by boat, or even riding a gryphon—to visit villages, monuments, and magical groves. This is when you collect powerful artifacts that grant unique abilities to your heroes and seek out quests to complete. But don't be fooled; time is of the essence, and every move counts. When night falls, the real challenge begins! It's time to face your quest challenges through dice rolling. This is where the famous 'push your luck' mechanic comes in: will you risk everything for an epic result, or will you retreat to save your progress and rest for the next day? It's a dynamic, fast-paced game with surprising depth for its size, perfect for those who love the feeling of character progression and classic adventure.
