The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot adds loot-fetching pets
The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot's playerbase knows well the busywork of sorting heaps of loot to find great items, but now they can leave the task to a sidekick and focus on earning glory. Ubisoft Montreal has added four pets to the free-to-play dungeon crawler, which tag along for castle raids if you're willing to part with the involved funds. Players can pick between Lil Flameo, a miniature crimson dragon, Lil Arachbro, a spider Ubisoft describes as "adoragross," Snugglemuffin, a hamster that rolls around in a protective ball, and Mr. Squiddlins, a bucket with an eye and a tentacle. They all serve the same purpose, but Mr. Squiddlins can be purchased with 7,000 gold, while the other three pets are available in exchange for 575 Blings, the game's currency that's exchanged for real-life money. Adventurers seeking a particular grade of loot can tell their pet which types of items to covet and which to ignore via the Options menu. If you're ready for a sidekick, you can adopt a pet at the in-game Cornelius' Emporium. [Image: Ubisoft]
Ubisoft lowers drawbridge on The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot beta
Ubisoft's free-to-play dungeon crawler The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot has gone into open beta. Anybody can sign up and start playing through Steam, the game's official website or Uplay. In The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, players choose a hero from four different classes and raid other players' castles in search of treasure and glory. To build a castle, you select trap placement and enemy spawn locations, then publish your personalized gauntlet online through the game's built-in social network. Each castle run culminates in some sort of boss encounter and, if the baddy is bested, a treasure room full of riches. After being criticized for The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot's microtransaction elements in last year's closed beta, developer Ubisoft Montreal stripped all pay-to-win elements from the game.

The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot raids Steam Early Access
Ubisoft's free-to-play RPG The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot is now available on Steam, expanding its grind-happy adventure beyond the browser realm. Combining elements from brawlers and tower defense games, The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot divides gameplay up into brief looting sessions in which you'll raid castles belonging to other players for equipment and treasure. The game joins Steam as part of the Early Access program as it wraps up its closed beta. Following its release earlier this year, The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot was updated to address fan feedback regarding the implementation of "pay to win" items, which have since been removed to promote gameplay balance.
Mighty Quest for Epic Loot ditches 'pay to win' microtransactions
Ubisoft will soon undo a change made to its free-to-play dungeon crawler / dungeon builder, The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot. As with other free-to-play games, Mighty Quest allows players to purchase certain in-game items with premium currency which, in turn, is purchased with real money. In an upcoming maintenance update, Ubisoft will remove the option to purchase machinery upgrades, responding to player concerns that they make the game "Pay to Win." The ability to purchase these upgrades was recently added to the game, and it would seem that player reaction was not positive. "We realize that letting players purchase machinery upgrades went too far in what we think feels fair to monetize," the Mighty Quest team writes on the game's website. "We are hereby rolling back the major premium currency mechanic changes, which will arrive in game in an upcoming maintenance." In other Mighty Quest news, a new "Open House" begins today and runs through August 6, opening the game up to anyone with a Uplay account. The Open House will host an in-game event called "UNLEASH THE CHICKENS," challenging players to collectively slay 10 million chickens. If the community accomplishes the feat, the chicken will be unlocked as a new castle defense. Furthermore, those who purchase any of the "Double O" packs will gain permanent access to the Mighty Quest closed beta, which will continue after the Open House is over. Those interested can sign up for the Open House right here.

Take your whole body on The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot
As you might imagine, Ubisoft's The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot is a dungeon crawler at heart. But that's just one organ in the game's anatomy: the game's trailer shows off the arms of character customization, the brain of dungeon building, and the long, long legs of asynchronous multiplayer competition.
Embark on 'Mighty Quest for Epic Loot,' Ubisoft Montreal's first free-to-play game
Ubisoft Montreal certainly has its hands full with projects like Assassin's Creed 3 and Far Cry 3, but that hasn't stopped the studio from making its first foray into the free-to-play space. The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot is an asynchronous dungeon crawler designed for "middle-range gaming PCs," Ubisoft product manager Matthew Zagurak told Joystiq during an unveiling event in San Francisco last week.The premise of The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot is pretty simple: Players construct their own castle from a pool of available tiles. They build hallways and rooms, and then fill them with monsters who try to kill invading adventurers, who can be random players or friends made through the in-game social network or pulled from Facebook.On the other side, you can assault castles with your adventurer, whom you can customize with equipment and abilities that you unlock as you earn experience points. You do that by killing monsters and ransacking other castles of their glittering spoils.Each castle trip culminates in a final boss encounter, the last stop before wayward adventurers discover the riches awaiting them in the treasure room (assuming they get that far to begin with). The kind of enemy units and bosses you can drop into your castle is determined by your level – the more you play and progress, the more things you can unlock for your castle and your own warrior. Through an in-game social network, users can vote on published castles and compare their hero's progress against friends and others.The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot doesn't have a launch date, though Ubisoft says a closed alpha test phase is planned to start next month.%Gallery-164492%
