Archquest is a classic CRPG that mixes a retro aesthetic, immersive first-person exploration, and tactical turn-based third-person combat based on tabletop RPG rules. Inspired by AD&D Gold Box games such as Pool of Radiance.
## About This Game

monsters have risen from the ruins of the old city. Liberate the city block by
block as you uncover the mysterious origins of the ancient city and what lies
beneath.
