my own fault, because I wanted to see what would happen if I fell off the stage.
Major gripes aside, the game does have some pretty nice things that make it stand out. The power-up system is a nice touch, with the game making you collect pages. These pages, in turn become power-ups when you activate them. The really fun this is that you won’t have any idea what a page does until you use it in battle. Of course, once you use the power-up, that page becomes revealed so you know what it is in the future, but there are enough pages to keep you excited about what you will find next throughout the course of the game.
The sound is also top-notch, some of the television show cast reprising their characters. I would have loved to see more voice work involved, as major bosses like the Ice King just make noises during their battle. It’s a tad bit off-putting when Finn and Jake talk about the battle and the camera pans over to a boss that we know from the show, only to make a weak honking noise.
If you are a small child of the television series, then you may find some enjoyment from Finn and Jake’s Epic Quest. Anyone else looking for a good use of the licence or a dungeon crawler with even a modicum of challenge will want to stay away. The game isn’t bad, it’s just so ridiculously safe that it becomes a boring glob of nothing.
