Home Quest is an Idle Game for smartphones by codeSTREAM released in 2020. In it, you have a village and must place buildings to improve your people's wellbeing. Eventually, you have to battle other tribes, harness power of the soulwells, and create new settlements.
Compare World Idle, another Idle Game where you control a civilization of people and manage the population's needs like their hunger by telling them what to do and fight to take other places (but on a different scale).
This game provides examples of:
- Bling of War: More advanced units like Knights and Mages require Gilded Armor, which combines Ornaments made of Gold with Plate Armor.
- Cap:
- The amount of resources of a certain type is capped depending on how many storages are present.
- You can only have 50 houses of a certain type in one settlement.
- Damager, Healer, Tank: The first three unit categories are split to Tank, Damage, and Healer (known as Support before 2.0).
- Equipment-Based Progression: Once you have unlocked the superwell, you can promote Knights, Mages, and Healers into Level II units by giving them Energized Armor.
- Export Save: You can export the 13KB+ save to the clipboard and import it by pasting a string to the game.
- Fireballs: The mages throw fireballs at the enemies.
- Flash of Pain: Before version 2.0, units would always flash red when they took damage.
- Freemium: You can buy Gold Edition for 6$ to have unlimited soulwells and increase your building queue by 2 or Ruby Edition for another 6$ to gain the ability to rename the town and unlimited superwell slots. Each special edition also comes with a theme for the game.
- Loads and Loads of Loading: It's going to take several minutes for the game to load all offline progress if you haven't been playing for a long time. Thankfully, version 2.0 made loading offline progress much faster and added an option to skip it altogether.
- Regenerating Health: Your army regenerates on their own when they're not taking part in battle.
- Shoot the Medic First: Inverted. Healer units hide behind Tanks and Damage, so they're likely to be taken down last by the opposition.
- Starter Villain: The first group of villains that starts levying your village is a tribe of Kobolds.
- Warrior Heaven: You can send your units to Valhalla to remove them from the army permanently, though you may receive a favor for your offering if you send enough of them.
- Wizard Needs Food Badly: Every person in the village and every member of the army needs food. You need to have people working in farms to produce food, so they won't starve. Version 2.0 changed it so you only need to make certain types of food as a luxury to improve villagers' happiness.
