History YMMV / ChexQuest

* SequelDifficultySpike: ''Chex Quest 1'' and ''2'' were made for children, and are pretty easy if you're even a bit experienced with shooters, and a walk in the park for anyone used to even vanilla ''Doom''. ''Chex Quest 3'' was made for audiences that had grown up with the game, and it shows: enemies are more numerous, there are more enemy types, some of which are actually stronger than some of their equivalents in ''Doom'', and health and ammo are nowhere near as common.

%%* NarmCharm: The introduction.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Want to see something hilarious? Add the Videogame/BrutalDoom mod onto this game and watch as the Chex Warrior brings out a gun and shoots everything while blood splatters everywhere. Adding to the hilarity is that ''Brutal Doom'' natively supports ''Chex Quest'', and not a case where it just works by chance. Its DECORATE script is even named "[=BrutalChexQuest.txt=]", further confirming that this is very much an intentional feature.

* VindicatedByHistory: Believe it or not, upon release the game was [[CriticalDissonance dismissed by professional game reviewers]] as a ''Doom'' ripoff. The Chex Warrior character was also unfavorably compared to other cereal mascots. Nowadays it has a dedicated cult fanbase, largely due to its similarities to ''Doom'' and modding capabilities.

* NarmCharm: The introduction.

* AllAnimationIsDisney: A few sources claim that ''HD'' was made in UsefulNotes/{{Unity}}, most likely due to the basic feel of the game, and the less-than-stellar polish. It was actually made using VideoGame/{{Unreal}} Engine 4. The game even makes this abundantly clear by showing its logo when you start it up.

* GameBreaker: The LAZ (Large Area Zorcher). It is this game's replacement of the [=BFG9000=], so of course it was gonna shoot giant balls of energy capable of covering ''massive'' areas and taking down entire armies of Flemoids. The fact that the game makes it available as early as the second map makes it all the more broken. ''HD'' {{nerf}}ed it so it only gives you two rounds upon pick up as opposed to 40.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The only way to obtain the character unlock codes in ''HD'' without the use of a guide was to either find them on the backs of certain flavors of Chex Mix, or by scrolling through Chex's official social media profiles. Both the developers and the marketing team seem to have known that this only really worked when the game was new, and later put them on the game's website.

* ScrappyMechanic: One of the biggest complaints against ''Chex Quest HD'' is that the HUD of some of the playable characters is very intrusive due to covering up a lot of the screen, with Fred Chexter's being considered the worst of the lot. The development team later patched the HUD to be smaller in July 2020.

* FriendlyFandoms: With ''{{VideoGame/Doom}}'', by virtue of ''Chex Quest'' essentially being an official GameMod, but also due to ''Chex Quest'' being considered a fun game in its own right.
