Description

"Lucienne's Quest" is a role-playing game (RPG) for the Panasonic 3DO, developed by Micro Cabin and released in North America in 1996. It stands out as one of the few RPGs available for the 3DO, offering a unique fantasy adventure in a genre predominantly populated by platformers and action games on the system. The game follows the journey of Lucienne, a young sorceress, as she embarks on a quest to defeat an evil sorcerer who threatens her homeland. Players navigate through a variety of landscapes, from lush forests to desolate wastelands, engaging in turn-based battles and interacting with a diverse cast of characters who can join Lucienne’s party, each bringing their unique abilities to the fray.

Gameplay in "Lucienne's Quest" is characterized by its isometric view and three-dimensional environments, which was a novelty for RPGs at the time, especially on the 3DO platform. This perspective provides a different approach to exploration and combat, allowing for more dynamic interactions within the game world. Noteworthy for its relatively deep storyline and character development, the game also incorporates elements of humor and emotional depth that enhance the narrative. Despite its innovative gameplay and engaging story, "Lucienne’s Quest" was released during the decline of the 3DO’s popularity, leading to limited exposure and sales. It has since become a cult classic, highly regarded by collectors and retro gaming enthusiasts for its rarity and unique place in the history of 3DO gaming.
