Customer Reviews:

An amazing game for strategy players. Like Me.

Lock's quest: The first time I played it was a couple of weeks ago. I played for hours straight. It was addictive, for I LOVE strategy games, and this game brings strategy to a whole new level. When you begin a battle, or "day", you build a strategiesed defense. After the time limit of a couple minutes is up, you go to the battle. Build mode is kinda fun and easy to use, but you could at least be able to move the camera. Then you begin battle mode. That's fun, with small (VERY small) mini games for the special abilities that activate when you tap a clockwork, to begin fighting it. You could also just sit back and repair your defenses, witch come in 4 types: wood, stone, metal and spiked.

Okay, you know I worked a while on the game. I got to day 50 something, was close to getting metal, was fighting phantoms at a graveyard, when my parents held a party. My little brother's bratty friend came into my room and erased my file. On purpose. JUST TO ANNOY ME.

Never let bratty kids into your room.

lock's quest review

This game is from the makers of Drawn to Life which I liked a lot so I figured I would buy it. You play Lock who helps defeat evil characters called clockworks. It's a fun game, good for kids or adults. You get to defend a village, fight in castles and more. Makes good use of the two DS screens. I have only been playing it a day but it seems cool and I can see why it won an award at E3.

Another hit from 5th Cell

From PlayingWithMyWeiner.com:

From the folks that brought you Drawn To Life, 5th Cell, comes Lock's Quest, a strategy RPG which recently won IGN.com's Best of E3 Strategy Game award. Don't let the game's faint competition at E3 deter you, though - Lock's Quest is a solid strategy game with a colorful steampunk art style. More importantly it brings the building-type strategy RPG firmly to the DS. You have four different building materials to mine and work with, ala Starcraft or Warcraft, and an able commander in Lock himself. The DS stylus is an excellent building and drawing tool, allowing you to fashion fortresses and walls with ease.

Lock's Quest is a must-buy for RTS and fantasy fans, and a good rental for anyone who wants to try something a little different.

Met expectations

Lock's Quest won a best of E3 award which looked promising. The day it came out I grabbed it, and its awesome. The instructions took a while, but most good RPG style DS games do.
Story is awesome, innocent but exciting. Gameplay is all about creativity, almost oposite of a hack n slash. Simple yet fun to play.
Good Game
