Aero's Quest is an interesting little race against the clock, puzzle game, set around the story of Areo, the Hero who is trying to rescue his beloved Ariella, from the clutches of the evil android Andraus. Personally, I think the game has an old school mega man feel to it. The puzzles are extremely varied, but not overly complicated. Special power ups such as Speed Boost, Stealth, and High Jump are sometimes found, making some puzzles easier or more difficult depending on the situation. This looks and feels like a game for the original NES. There are leaderboards for competing with others, a speed-run mode and more. If you like puzzle games and don't mind going a little retro, Aero's Quest will probably be a fun little puzzle platform for you.

This is actually my very first review on Steam.
Aero's Quest can be broken down to 5 words:
Cutie - hilarious - Challenging - Long - Addictive
- Cutie because of the general initial feeling that the game gives you
- Hilarious because the cuteness is suddently killed by the funny and splatter animations when you die
- Challenging because you really die a lot!
- Long because you can play with more than 100 hard levels
- Addictive because even when you get frustrated you still wanna keep playing to beat the levels

I really enjoy this game. being a big fan of retro games, this sparks some interesting takes on that oldschool feel.
I like the challenge of timing in Aeros quest. it's a little slow to start, but once you get past the early tutorial levels you'll soon know what it means to be fast or die fast. Also no shortage of precision movement, like with air control. Dodging traps and missiles. powerups arent for the needy either! they are neccessary!
level 20 really had me going, and it begins the metroid style backtracking that really fine tunes your skills in this unforgiving platformer

This game is so cute! I like the style, the cuteness of the characters and then the splatter once you die.
Aero's Quest is challenging, I don't know if it is because I'm not really skilly with plaformers or because the game is hard.
I like the idea of many short levels, it keeps the pace very high.

I have been having so much fun with this game so far. It's so nostalgic. Aero's Quest has great graphics, gameplay and music that take me back to the day of the Super Nintendo, which is a great thing. It reminds me of all the great platformers I used to play back then. With the speed run leaderboards, it has so much replay value. For the price, you'd be unwise to pass this game up if you like puzzle/platformers.

Storyline
damsel in distress : Bad guy kidnap your love , you go rescue here
Graphics
Not bad but not that great either , I don't like the Art Style too much. Kind of looks like a flash game because it actually was a flash game but of course this is not the same version as the flash one.
+Gameplay
Quite difficult platformer with small levels where if you die you retry again - You have to avoid different traps - There is also things that you can take in the level like "Super Jump" , "Speed" that can change the gameplay.
-Customisation
None whatsoever.
-Soundtrack
The music isn't that bad but the sound effects are kind of annoying especially when the guy dies , he screams so fucking loud in an annoying manner.
Levels
5 Different and varied locations 1/Deepwood forest and 2/Mushroom Meltdown : Kind of the same forest theme. 3/Volcanic Valley 4/Chillwind Galcier 5/Ruthless Inc
-Steam Achievements
Easy and lame. Also you can actually go to the Speed Run option and there you have the list of the locations where you can go in and out and have 5 achievements without doing the levels.
-Controller Problem (xbox360)
It Vibrates. Well .... what happens is normally when you get killed it vibrates and stops but sometimes and this happens a lot actually it keeps vibrating non stop and you will have to quit the game and come back
With all these frauds i still recommend the game for people who like paltformer

I can understand why Aero's Quest brings out some comtroversy. The game falls in the genre of puzzle-platformers (maybe more platformer than puzzle) which is full of good (and bad titles). It's hard to stand out in this kind of genre.
Aero's quest does the job to me, I see why somebody can say that few aspects of the game are outdated but I believe that for that peice the value is there.
I personally enjoyed it a lot, and I will play it till I beat it.
