This will be very short as there really isn't much to explain here an I'm trying to pump this out for Halloween (Its Halloween right now as I'm writing this. A recent NBC video on how gamers facilitate the Alt-Right might've put me on tilt when I was trying to write this on the 30th so I put it of till now to get myself off tilt.)
The story of Costume Quest isn't much but, its enough to keep the player moving forward. You and your kid sister (or brother as you get to choose which kid you play as) are going trick or treating when you come across a real goblin raiding a house for candy. The Goblin sees your brother/sister dressed s candy and throws them over a gate to be collected and counted as candy for their leader. You go on a mission to rescue him/her since if you were to return home without your sibling you' would probably get grounded.
Costume Quest is Halloween themed turn based RPG with the popular battle style of action commands (button prompts for attacks and defending.) Your attacks in battle depend on your costume with you start out with one and build more as the game progresses. You can also add battle stamps that can increase your stats or add extra effects in battle or even add entirely new command to your character. They're essentially the badges from Paper Mario but, you only can have one on at a time.
While nothing Costume Quest does is new or innovative the themeing and the solid gameplay hold it up and make it unique.Its short as I clocked in about 5-7 hours with breaks for one of the two campaigns. There is also a sequel with will probably be the Halloween special next year. So yes this was a hit for me. It's nothing new but, its a fun Halloween themed RPG that while not even nearly as deep as games like Paper Mario or the two recent South Park games it hits the atmosphere perfectly and is short enough to not overstay it's welcome. Costume quest is on steam here and goes on heavy discount during the Halloween sales and even comes in a bundle with the sequel..
