Anna’s Quest is heavily inspired by the folk tales of Brothers Grimm and makes no secret of this fact, but it isn’t merely a simple tale of good versus evil as it first appears. The game would have worked perfectly well if main antagonist Winfriede the witch was simply being evil for evil’s sake. Instead, she’s given a tremendous backstory that makes the hard-hitting conclusion as bittersweet as it is triumphant.
Games Asylum: "This is a traditional adventure game with point and click elements, sporting bold and cartoon-like visuals. Taking place over the course of six chapters, what unfolds is an unexpectedly well planned out story with plenty of intrigue and folklore to see you through to the end, with lots of puzzles to keep you scratching your head."
COG writes: After 6 years upon its initial release, Anna's Quest has made a most welcome jump to consoles. Join Anna in a dark, twisted fairy tale to defeat a witch to save her grandpa.
"Almost exactly 6 years later, Anna’s Quest has made the jump from PC with a direct port to console. From developer/publisher Daedelic Entertainment we return to this 2.5D point & click puzzle game. Beyond that, it is also a hand-drawn adventure game depicting Anna’s journey and adventure. And featuring a melting pot of elements from the world’s fairy tales, folklore, and mythology. This Anna’s Quest review is based on the Switch version and is also available on PS4 and Xbox One." Mike @ Thumb Culture
