HeroQuest Overview
HeroQuest is a DOS adaptation of a fantasy board game, presented through an isometric perspective. Players manage a party of four distinct characters: a wizard, a dwarf, a barbarian, and an elf. Each begins the game's fourteen missions positioned on opposing sides of the play area.
Gameplay is governed by strict turn-based rules where movement distance is determined by a dice roll. Actions such as combat or spellcasting are restricted to occurring either before or after a move, not during it. An icon-based interface is used to execute these commands.
The environment contains monsters to fight, hidden traps, and magic potions to discover, making careful exploration advisable. Treasure found during a mission can be taken to a shop for trade between levels.
