60 of 179 · most liked firstHealer's Quest is a fun multi-tasking game where you assume the role of an RPG healer. It is your job to keep your allies healed and buffed while they dish out damage to your enemies. Although the basic premise is simple it conceals a very detailed and customizable combat system. You design the look of your character, select from dozens of spells (heals, buffs, or mana recovery), equip different bracelets for your healer and weapons/rings for your allies. Each of your numerous spells has its…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The writing is absolutly funny. The humour starts already in the beginning when you are creating your character. You are the healer in a party. The other party members are the fighters (knight, barbarian, archer and mage) You only control the healer in the fights. Your job is to click on all the characters to keep healing them until the fight is won. You have limited amount of mana, sometimes you have to wait until you can cast spells again. All battles are played out in realtime. Most battles…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Funny Game whit a lot of Humor, i like it.. from the pis*** Man at the Wall in first Fight to the womanizer Mage... oh i miss my world of warcraft healer time and this game is a cure for my soul :D you play as a healer whit 1 healing spell and 3 additional spells( buffs and regeneration), you lead this group of crazy clowns trough the world and discover dungeons. walking trough the map reminds me to pokemon ^^ I can recommend the game to anyone, the humor is worth every penny…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is easy to play - a nice casual gaming experience. Spell skill tree is nice. However the game is extremely linear, and you progress through one monster encounter with amusing plot text to the next. When you reach a monster you can't beat your only real choice is to walk back and forth between previous monster trigger areas, fighting an identical 2 sets of monsters again and again until your party has levelled up enough to be able to take the next set of monsters. Only you levelling…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I decided not to complete my playthrough of Healer’s Quest. While the game does have a unique art style and light tone, I was unable to get past the childish writing, confusing user interface and annoying combat mechanics. This game is clearly not for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun Little Game every MMORPG-Healer will enjoy. You are the Healer and go on an adventure with your group of bad players. They only care about damage, they have no focus and they blame you for everything. Typical Mmorpg feeling for every Gamer that ever played a Healer in a game. Pros: + Lots of Spells that encourage different playstyles + every spell has a solid skill tree + if you fail a boss fight you can adjust your spells to go for a different approach + experimenting with…

Optional Achievement(s): Yes (23 achievements, 2 missables, ~2 require restarts). Difficult Achievement(s): No. Intro Have you played an MMO? Ever tried playing a healer? No? Are you one of those who treat your healers like a jerk? Healer's Quest is a game that lets you play as yours truly, an underappreciated healer in a party of "four". Yes, four, because you are not included. Pros: -…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ugh. No. Just no. The game tries to be funny, but only manages to peak at the kind of jokes that you would hear from kindergarten children making fun of one another. The mechanics are interesting for a while, but get boring and repetitive after about an hour. If you want to finish the game, do yourself a favor and turn on the accessibly options of resetting skills anywhere for free (still awards achievements), or you will hate your life with the levels of grinding required to switch between…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →★★★☆☆ As the best healer in MMOs like WoW and FF14, I can confirm that Healer's Quest is 99.9% accurate. Reasons to Buy: + Charm + Healer Simulator + Better ending than Game of Thrones Reasons to Bail: - Grindy Pros/Cons: + Meme story + Most battles start with a bit of dialogue + Loading before the final boss allows for completion + Majority of loot provides unique bonuses, not just stat creep + Solid skill trees. Turn your abilities into passive smart heals, stronger direct heals, give…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Informational review, because nothing in the description or screenshots hinted at this, and I wish I'd known it before buying: The central combat mechanic is "balancing various meters, in real time, by choosing when and where to hold down the mouse button and when not to hold it down". It's supported by some mechanics that are kind of RPG-ish (choose which of 4 spells to cast) and some that feel more like a clicker game ("click at the precise moment a certain randomly appearing star…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At the time of writing this, I have about 3hrs in the game. Healer's Quest is an RPG in which you play a healer in a group with four other team mates, and your sole duty is healing; you don't engage in combat with the enemies. - There's a character creator which is really cool. Nice humour in the boob slider for the female character. There's "karma" as well, meaning you can be a good healer, evil healer, or victim healer. I'm not sure what effect this has but I'm quite sure it effects the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A special, never yet seen before idea for a game. Frequent healer players will definitely have a fun time reading the in-game dialogues. Sadly, the game is just WAY too grindy. Grinding shouldn't be the focus of a humorous, laid-back indie game. At all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept of the game is to play as the healer, an underappreciated role in a party. However, the game comes off as not very fun. They missed the fun points of being a healer. Your party members are all unlovable jerks except for possibly Tanky. Due to RNG, a party member can be one shot. As the healer, that's extremely frustrating when the only way to bring them back to life is to use up an extremely important spell slot. Since you only get 4 spell slots, it's extremely important to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is absolutely no reason this game needs to be this grindy other than "HAHA RPG TROPES AM I RIGHT FELLOW GAMERS?"
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a person who enjoys playing Healer/Medic in videogames, this is very much a letdown. The real time battle system doesn't work very well with this kind of game, with 4 healing targets and many enemies attacking at the same time it can be difficult to predict what kind of spells you need to use on the fly when you need to be focusing on healing your team. It just would have been so much better as a turn-based affair, the battle system is difficult and twichy and not very fun at all. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashed on character creation, then remained open for 5 hours after it crashed as a file named something along the lines of 'njws' that used barely any memory or disk, but still racked up the hours. So yeah, crashing on the first part of the game a minute into launching it, then staying open as I head to a family gathering, thus racking up too many hours to refund. Not a fan.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RPG that makes fun of itself with some memes. The end got way too grindy, difficulty and didn't really hold my attention in the long term.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting concept that starts off pretty fun, but it's just a huge grind against same-y enemies that quickly wears thin.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an entertaining little game about playing the unthankful job of a healer for a party of adventurers. Dialogues are full of humour, and most of the time it is spot on! https://youtu.be/3pSwcGUMbHI Gameplay itself is similar to what you actually do as a healer in an 5-man-MMORPG party. You can have 4 active spells, which you can upgrade about a dozen times each, in various ways. There's normal healing, regeneration, shield spells, buffs, resurrection, you name it. But you can just have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, I found this game slightly annoying. Combat is a bit too stressfull, but still not actually fun or challenging. The banter is not bad, but still not good enough to make me crack a smile even once so far.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's exactly as it appears, but it's not really fun. The pitch for this game is a kind of jokey rpg mocking some alleged trope of a healer always being the most hated party member that receives the brunt of the blame when stuff goes wrong. That element is in the writing, but between that and all the other jokes it still seems pretty dry. Beyond that, the gameplay isn't great either. You mouse click over allies to heal or buff them, and quickly switch between various spells to mitigate damage…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is much better than it looks at first glance. The entertainment of this MMORPG parody in which a healer takes the central role (in the background) is top notch. The dialogue provides more amusement than various AAA titles. At the same time the gameplay is also challenging enough at the higher difficulty levels. It might only make sense for those who played an MMORPG at some point, but for that audience this could very well be the game you wanted to play without knowing it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just started and it was pretty fun. I always played healer in every MMO and I just miss the healing part. This game has funny dialog, so far a storyline, and a plenty character skill development/customization. I am looking forward to play more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm live with #HealersQuest! This funny indie game has me healing a bunch of ungrateful (soon to be dead) party members! Twitch: www.twitch.tv/urrandomgamer2 Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYTp... #funnygame #twitchstreamer #smallstreamer #rpg #indiegame
unlabelledView post →I wasn't sure how I was going to rate this game. I loved, then it frustrated me, but in the end I enjoyed the experience. I realized the frustration was me trying to force this game into how I wanted it to play. Let me explain. It's a very simple game, and that makes it fun at first. But then the enemies get tougher, but you don't progress like most rpgs, there is no upgrading weapons and armor and grinding to stay ahead of the difficulty curve, it's just you healing. That can start to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3/10 do they need to talk before every fight???
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Meter Maid Do you like playing as a healer? Do you like RPGs? Do you like witty humor? Well, this has none of those. It may be called Healer's Quest but you actually play as the Engineer. How so? By monitoring gauges of course. You monitor the health gauges of your "team" and click on one when it gets low. You monitor your magic gauge and click on it when it gets low. You don't actually do any healing. If the background, basically all of the battle scenes, didn't exist, it'd still be the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Type: A healing management game with RPG elements. Pros: Excellent writing, very funny and it really helps you hate your party of jerks. Neutrals: Music is eh, nothing really to marvel or hate. Art is pretty much what's in the screen caps. Hand drawn storybook style. Cons: The game play is sooo boring and repetitive. It could practically be an idle clicker game. The lack of enjoyable game play is why I stopped playing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well the humor is there but it is always the same dent the axe falls into and it gets boring quite fast. The game itself is also not very interesting. There are many better RPGs on the market. And this one took like 2 hours before starting to bore me. Not enough for 15 Euro.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far (only 3 hours played so far) I've really enjoyed the humor. Despite a clear lack of voice acting, it is nice to actually see some humorous writing and clever characters. From the character selection screen to the twist of the first "real" boss fight, the game is self-aware, has many running gags, and shows to the masses the wit that characters should have in an RPG. The spells are nice, though you're limited to 4, and I've found myself swapping them out constantly depending on the…

unlabelledView post →I'm giving it a thumbs up even though I don't really like it. So, like I assume most people who bought it, I also EXTREMELY enjoy being a healer in ANY game that allows me to be one. So a game purely focused on that? heck yeah. The graphics are super cute, the humor is funny most of the time and the gameplay seems okay Unfortunately, it gets repetitive. Like. REALLY, REALLY quick. I THINK part of it is because you only get 4 (or 5) spell slots, and you get like 20 different spells to use.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good idea, poorly executed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun concept at start. But after an hour of SLOWLY AS ♥♥♥♥ roaming around the map desperately trying to find where the hell I'm supposed to go to move forwards in the game, while being CONSTANTLY nagged by random encounters, I've got to give it a big fat thumb down.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought game in the summer sale in 2019. One of my daughters became addicted to it rather quickly. The younger kids would watch her play it. Pros * Humor: if you are veteran of RPG games you will get alot of the jokes/parodies * Gameplay: Somehow this game actually is really fun. It is true you just play the healer. * music: Your standard RPG Maker music. Does not distract but you will not find yourself humming any of its tunes. * Graphics: You dont get this game for the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mehhhhhhh. Okay, for a gimmick game, Healer's Quest is an interesting romp that lasts about 10 hours. I had a bug free experience, and the game is functional and unique. So that alone warrants a recommendation. I doubt you'd really want to visit it again after you're done, as the playthrough on normal difficulty is challenging enough as it is. Maybe a bit pricey for a 10 hour experience (get it on a sale). Some issues I had with the game: - So you can invest stars to improve certain spells,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not only one of the best RPG parodies I've seen, but one of the best RPGs I've ever played. Highly recommended. Treat yourself. :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you ever played as a healer in a MMORPG then this game will hit home... hard. It's a quirky and sometimes challenging RPG in which you take the role of a healer to keep your (rather stupid) party alive. You can find bracelets, rings, weapons and upgrade spells along the way to make your life a little... easier. Maybe. The story is thin, but enjoyable. The combat is simple, but there are a lot of combinations in terms of spells and equipment you can mess around with. All in all, this is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a hardcore player of FFXIV Online, I found this game's humor hilarious, because it has a good grasp of what being a healer with a crappy team really is like. I finished the game in Normal difficulty, and it was a little hard, I died something like 30-40 times during the game. I think if you don't have the knowledge of being a healer in an MMORPG, this game can be very hard as it supposes you know how to manage Cooldowns, if you don't, it will probably be harder for you. I really enjoyed…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →everything is very nice in this game, except for the combat. and the game throws enemies at you literally every 10 or so seconds which feels like an attempt to artificially inflate the playtime but it wouldn't be an issue if combat felt fun. even on normal the combat starts to feel too frantic, tedious, and random very quickly. the game gives you a wide variety of spells and an expansive skill tree but some spells are obviously less useful or practical compared to other ones (at least when…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who enjoys playing as a support/healer class in most games I play, this is a very enjoyable game. It has a lot of meta humor and some 4th wall breaks, which adds to its charm. The music is pleasant and enjoyable while reminding me of Crash Bandicoot. The builds you can make a lot of different builds, however I'd recommend heal, remedy, shield, and meditate with focus mostly mana regen (meditate) and passive resistances (remedy). Graphics are nicely stylized and also pleasant. I do…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Healer's Quest is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. This mobile app is a "comedy" themed RPG full of trashy gamer tropes designed, from what I can tell, to appeal to zoomer streamers or something. The game itself really isn't great, we shouldn't expect much from mobile apps and it's par for the course here. The "combat" in this RPG is indirect as the title implies, you're playing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played this game and 100% everything including achievements. Worth it for a sale, but prepared to be annoyed by the things below. You can't play after the game is completed, there is no way to "prestige", starting over with your previous maxed stars or abilities, or keep playing in any sort of way to enjoy the game after beating it the first time. Some abilities are just far better than others leading to an imbalanced game, but the dev tries their best to have multiple styles of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad controls, annoying combats, confusing interface, unnecessary grindy. Also childish and unfunny.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love it! Its story, its humor, and its gameplay! I'm not really good at this type of game so I really enjoyed the fact you can select different type of difficulty in-game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game with a fairly unique concept. I found the humor in it to be hit or miss (it's very "internet gamer", jokes about noobs and trolls and xp) but I got some chuckles out of it. I think it's a bit too grindy as far as xp is concerned, and that getting around takes too long. I also think it should be easier to respec your abilities. I beat the game on hard and that may have contributed to this. This would be easier to recommend with these quality of life adjustments, it's definitely…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Healer's Quest is a unique real-time RPG where you "lead" the typical five-man party (tank, barbarian, archer, mage) as the titular healer. In truth, you have very little control over the other four members of the squad, whereas you have complete control (skill choices at level-up, in battle actions) over the healer. Pros: The scripted encounters in the game are genuinely funny (most of the time). This is particularly the case when the game pokes fun at RPGs and MOBAs, either by citing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game with many mmorpg jokes. All you have to do is balancing the health bar and keep your party alive with heals and buffs. Me as main healer in mmos enjoyed it very much. If you hate playing healer or never played a mmo you probably will not be happy with this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Healer's Quest was a fun short game. I was at 99% completion when I beat it 11 hours in. Funny, good gameplay, and customization options. Battles were fast paced and sometimes deadly. Since there are no real consequences to dying, it made it easy to experiment and try again. The random battles felt like they dragged on near the end, but it wasn't much of an issue given the game length. My one regret was having to respec the healer completely in order to beat one of the final bosses. I didn't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Saw the game at GamesCon, loved the idea, and I love the game. My only complain is that 4 spell slots are a bit too limiting, considering that you need at least 1 healing spell and 1 mana regeneration spell it leaves only 2 slots to play around, so I almost never use interesting, niche spells. I get that I'm supposed to adjust my spell selection to certain enemies, but unrefundable spell upgrades dissuades this strategy in favor of sticking to 4 favorites.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a good potential ... But I think the good price is under 5 More attractive for the players and the devs will sell more ... The fight versus the dragon is not nice (art graphic) The game can be better !
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will not deny that there are a lot of things that are not perfect about Healer's Quest. I played on Hard, and I almost never had to change 3 of the 4 spells I used. Some of the translation is a bit wonky and the grammar is sometimes off (creator is French.) The achievements require a ton of pointlessly grinding for gold, which I personally find irritating. There are too many random battles that end up becoming wack-a-mole. Navigating around the map was slow and annoying enough at the end that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enormously charming and funny gameplay, story, and artwork / animations. XP and spell upgrades keep the game compelling. Very nice!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First impressions, after having not played for super long. The game is about as ridiculous as it says, and I got a good laugh from Character Customisation alone. All the other little jokes along the way are quite good too, and I enjoy the humour a lot. As far as gameplay goes, it's moderately complex, and faced with lots of abilities early on makes me want to find the optimal set up... except that can wait until I learn not to run out of mana! It's fun, but requires quite a bit of focus. It's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: There are some difficulty spikes near the end. Steam Deck Compatibility: Yes The game feels as if the Team Fortress 2 Medic, Moria (Overwatch/Overwatch 2), and Mantis (Marvel Rivals) got bored one day and decided to make a single player RPG game. 'Healer's Quest' is also like 'DLC Quest', it makes fun and makes a parody/satire about the good, bad, and ugly of the video game industry and gaming culture, mainly the mmorpg (and honorable mention, hero shooters) side of things. Ya play as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awesome. Loved every bit of it.... I found it relateable as I often play healers when playing with other people. The disrespect is real.... This game has a good story, had me laughing, had me going to the other end of the house to tell my husband whats happening in this game he knows nothing about.. This is deff a little hidden gem in my opinion. Can feel a little grindy at times, but don't let that stop you from playing, I like the banter, I like the story. This is one I will…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall I had fun with the game, but I do wish there was a more neutral rating to give this. I like the art style and the music is fine. You get a lot of customization options (skill trees & different abilities) to choose to customize how you want your healer to function. I like that there's a way to quickly get out of a dungeon after you beat the boss of it. I also like that there is the option to redo your skill trees if desired. As far as the humor goes, it's moreso what you'd expect…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game that leaves me frustrated with Steam's overly simplistic review system. Healer's Quest is a warm glass of water on a parched summer day. The premise is original, the artstyle is charming, but no mechanics are revolutionary, and the whole affair is quite drawn-out, to the point that even the occasional splash of wit does little to ease the monotony. A hard 3/5, scratches the RPG itch but took me a while to finish as you will get bored quickly. Possibly the point? Trying to do justice to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ugh. Uuuuuuuuuugh. I hated the crap. Hold down the mouse button on the UI element. Then move your mouse to another UI element and hold down the mouse button. It's a spinning plates deal, but without enough stuff to do. The story is the typical modern self-aware poking fun at cliches without bothering to actually write punchlines. It's just a stream of abuse. Haha, healers are doormats. Haha, they were rude to the healer again.
