Quest for Camelot (1998 video game)

Quest for Camelot is a third-person, 2D action role-playing game.[2] It features nine worlds with 60 levels.[3] The gameplay includes killing enemies in each area, fetch quests, and carry quests.[2] Parts of the story are told through slideshows as cut scenes.[3] The game supports saves on battery and works with the Game Boy Printer.[3]

Kayley has to rescue her mother, as well as Excalibur, from the evil knight, Ruber and along the way defeat enemies, bosses and meet new friends.[4] As Kayley, the player sets out to avenge the death of her father and confront Ruber, the villain.[2]

Quest for Camelot was developed and co-published by Titus Interactive and Nintendo. In early 1997 Titus signed a licensing deal with Warner Bros. to make games based on Quest for Camelot for the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Game Boy.[5] It was released on December 16, 1998.[2]

The game was met with some negative reception, as GameRankings gave it a score of 50%.[6] Adam Cleveland of IGN summarized the game as "bad". He described its core mechanics as "boring"—walking between points and looking for objects. Cleveland noted Titus's reputation for games of poor quality, especially games with licensed content. He criticized the repetitive music, and said the only decent part of the game was its use of color.[3] Allgame's Joe Ottoson criticized how gem collectibles were needed in order to save the game progress. He added that the gameplay was tedious and the menus poorly designed.[2]
