As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of deck builders and roguelikes. But Cyber Quest, oh boy, it’s a breath of fresh cyberpunk air!
In simpler terms, “Cyber Quest” is a freshly launched card-building game with a roguelike structure, set in a future cyberpunk environment as hinted by its name. Your mission involves gathering a skilled team and engaging in various city battles. We chose to give our App Army a chance to test it out and share their thoughts.
Here’s what they said:
Robert Maines
Cyber Quest is a deck-builder with pixel art and chiptune music. Your team consists of three characters who battle over a series of rounds with the fourth being a boss battle. The battles consist of using cards randomly allocated from your deck to battle three opponents, kill them all and the battle is won.
Initially, this game appears straightforward; however, upon closer inspection, it reveals intricate layers thanks to numerous character upgrade possibilities and card choices. Regrettably, characters don’t recover health between fights, but only following the defeat of the boss. Consequently, the game presents a challenge right from the start, which can be aggravating at times. Nevertheless, I found myself drawn back to it repeatedly, and I would wholeheartedly recommend giving it a try.

Roguelike deck builder with minimalistic pixel art and a general cyberpunk vibe, Cyber Quest impressed me because it’s simple, yet fun and really addictive. Build up your own crew by selecting three of the available characters (you can buy new ones with the coins you get for winning), then face three enemies and a boss, in order.
The objective is to emerge victorious in all four engagements, yet achieving this won’t be a walk in the park because healing resources are scarce. To increase your chances of success, it’s crucial to develop effective combos and eliminate opponents before they can cause significant damage. In essence, the gameplay consists of positioning crew members in designated spots, arming them with weapons, enhancing their weaponry or protecting their shields, and then engaging in turn-based combat against adversaries. An optimal strategy would be to surround three individuals against one, but this isn’t always evident, so it’s essential to keep track of numbers, placement, and your enemies’ skills.
Appears straightforward at a glance, but don’t be fooled – it’s deceptively complex and demands continuous play to accumulate new characters, weapons, and cards, enhancing your deck for better performances in future gaming sprees. The simplicity is its key charm, ideal for brief gaming stints, much like a well-designed mobile game ought to be.

In this game, Cyber Quest, players start with a basic set of cards and gradually enhance their decks by acquiring new cards during runs. This allows for strategic planning and adaptation based on the cards available and the challenges faced. The 3 basic types of cards are weapons, fortification, and boosters.
In every encounter, the players must overcome three minions and one main antagonist. During each turn, the game reveals who will be targeted next. The players must strategize which cards to play in order to endure each phase successfully. They can also gather currency during combat to unlock fresh cards or abilities that persist in subsequent attempts, fostering a feeling of progression and accomplishment.
Mark Abukoff
A simple retro pixel card battler with a cool cyberpunk look. It’s been done so many times in so many ways that it’s hard, in my opinion, for anyone to distinguish itself. But this pulls it off, not from any technical standpoint but more from the feel of the characters. Reminiscent, to me, of the characters that are such a big part of Coffee Stain Publishing’s amazing Huntdown.
This game is amusing and somewhat peculiar, and I find myself quite fond of its arsenal and power-ups. It requires a bit of strategic thinking, much like many games do. The progression of your characters isn’t healed between fights, and there’s an additional daily quest to complete. While it may not have any fancy features, it is a delightful battle game that can be enjoyed in short bursts without being overly complex or confusing. I wholeheartedly recommend this game.
Jim Linford
The basic idea is you have a three-on-three battle. You get to choose your team and In what slot they go. You have a deck from which you draw perks or weapons they have points associated with them and from this, you have to defeat the enemy team. you have four sets of fights per level. Sounds simple enough and in some respects it is. But it’s seeing how far you can go per run which makes it a fun challenge.
After every skirmish, credits are awarded for you to enhance your deck or team personnel. Keep in mind, however, that teams do not regenerate health between battles, so it’s essential to strategize with your four characters. With three available slots, the least robust member can be deployed against a less formidable opponent. Some cards offer an advantage of skipping ahead in the queue, which can prove useful for avoiding elimination.
Apart from a daily task, there’s plenty to keep busy with here, and it hides its depth well. The graphics have a nostalgic, old-school feel, while the music has a MIDI tone. Your enjoyment of card battle games might influence your opinion on this game, but I still suggest giving it a try.
Massimo Saraconi
The game is really good, with a solid card battle system, an awesome cyberpunk environment and overall cool pixel art that reminds me of all Game Stew titles, that I have always loved. Also, the music and sound fx are of the same good standard, so i could recommend it to any fan of card battlers with a sci-fi setting.
