Shantae maker WayForward unveils Apple Watch exclusive Watch Quest
Time to fight
Shantae and Mighty Switch Force creator WayForward has unveiled a new iOS adventure game that requires an Apple Watch to work.
It's called Watch Quest, and it will launch alongside the Watch itself next week.
The game spans across two devices. On your iPhone, you manage your kingdom and equip your hero with new loot. You then you send them off on an adventure, and follow their journey on the Watch.
These quests can take several hours to complete as your hero travels lands, battles monsters, solves puzzles, and searches for treasure. You can go on easy, passive quests. Or you can go on more difficult adventures with some short minigames to play.
Watch Quest will be free and offer one training quest to get you started. You'll be able to buy additional characters and campaigns as in-app purchases on your iPhone. We'll go hands-on next week.
