Our take on Lion Quest
The broad mix of platforming, puzzles, character switching, arcade stages, and local multiplayer gives Lion Quest variety, but that variety divides attention across several modes instead of concentrating on one tightly focused campaign.
What is Lion Quest?
Lion Quest follows Jethro the Lion through a space-and-time adventure involving a collapsing universe and a missing bear.
Its platforming uses a 3D environment navigated through 2D movement, with collapsing structures and mind-controlled objects forming environmental puzzles. Players can meet and control multiple animals, unlock nine playable characters with different statistics and abilities, and collect coins for the in-game gift shop. The game includes local two-player cooperative play and competitive matches for up to four players across fifteen maps. Additional content includes fifty arcade stages, branching platforming levels, and more than two hours of original music. An animal creator was added in update 1. 6. 0.
