If you haven't heard of it already, MarchQuest is an immersive role-playing fitness game in which your hard work in real life unlocks a story of epic proportions. Lucky for you, there's a pretty big update coming so hold on to your hats.

Set in the fantasy world of Vale, you take up the position of the Marchwarden, a mythic hero called from earth to help a land at war. Help Vale to settle its conflicts, win the hearts of its people, and unite them once again before the world falls to ruin.

Given the thrill of that Pokemon GO gave us all these past couple of months, it also opened up an area of mobile gaming that hadn't been really been explored – physical activity. There have been some brilliant titles so far such as Zombies, Run!, but there's something very charming about MarchQuest.

It uses mapping in the fictional world and in real life, tracking your progress. It also keeps track of your fitness statistics, such as the amount of calories you've burned or the distance you've travelled.

Here's the exciting bit – on the 30th September, MarchQuest will be offering a free trail for a limited period, meaning you can play the first quest of season one totally free.

Check out the game on the App Store at its current price of £3.99/$4.99.
