About Castle Quest

Castle Quest combines board strategy with magical combat, unfolding on a chess-like grid where fantasy units vie for control. The objective is to capture the opposing king, directing a force that includes warriors, orcmen, and karate fighters.

When units occupy the same square, conflict shifts to a separate screen resolved by a card-based roulette system. Each unit possesses distinct health and a unique deck, influencing the likelihood of drawing powerful cards like an instant-kill joker. Spells represent another layer, as certain units can trigger offensive or defensive magic when moving to vacant spaces, affecting adjacent squares with damage or healing.
