Enter a realm of perilous dungeons, cunning traps, and powerful magic as you lead your party of heroes against the forces of the Dark Sorcerer. Gulak, the sorcerer’s puppet, commands monstrous legions that stalk the night. Villagers vanish without a trace - stolen in silence, never to be seen again.

Enter a realm of perilous dungeons, cunning traps, and powerful magic

Dark Quest returns with its fourth installment - a turn-based strategy adventure inspired by the legendary HeroQuest board game. Command up to 10 unique heroes, each with distinctive stats and powers. Train them in the Hero Camp, unlock new cards and abilities, and forge your perfect dungeon-delving team. Embark on 30 handcrafted quests filled with tactical, turn-based combat and deadly surprises. Outsmart over 40 unique monsters, evade lethal traps, and wield both magic and steel to survive sprawling, multi-floored dungeons that test your wit and courage.

Whilst it's not entirely pick up and play - there is a little bit of a learning curve - it doesn't take long to get into the swing of things. One of the aspects that you'll want to focus on is taking the right balance of characters on your quest. And this will depend very much on your own playing style. Rushing in with random characters will get you killed pretty quickly, but if you take your time and think carefully before each move you'll find that you'll manage to progress deeper through the dungeons.
