Quest Hunter is a 2019 action-adventure game with light exploration and cooperative multiplayer, developed and self-published by 2 Zombie Games.

Quest Hunter occupies an interesting position: it has survived four years on Steam with solid lifetime earnings and a positive review ratio, yet the studio is fading and engagement metrics suggest the title is truly dormant. The game generates modest residual revenue in the $280-290/mo range, primarily from occasional discount-driven traffic. This is a acquisition candidate only if a buyer seeks to absorb a completed, stable IP with minimal ongoing obligations; revival is unlikely to pay out given shallow core design and persistent multiplayer infrastructure issues that the tiny team never resolved. Most realistic play: watch.

  • Risk: Player reviews consistently cite desyncing and lag in cooperative mode, a structural problem that would require engine-level rework or server redesign to fix.
  • Risk: The game sits in a crowded budget-action-exploration niche where better-reviewed alternatives (Dysmantle is explicitly named by players) draw attention and are perceived as superior value.
  • Risk: Developer studio is fading with only one published title, no community posts in a year, and last dev communication was over 21 months ago; acquisition would come with zero ongoing support infrastructure.
