Alcazar: The Forgotten Fortress

In Alcazar: The Forgotten Fortress, you guide an explorer across a countryside filled with fortresses on a quest to reach the legendary Alcazar and find its crown.

Use the strategy map to assess your position, choose paths, and decide which castles to enter. Along the way, collect essential objects such as a rope, gun, raw meat, water, and raft, then use them properly to overcome the challenges ahead. Each castle’s items are guarded by its main demon, and clues can reveal when monsters are nearby.

Most castles have two stories, while Alcazar rises three stories high. With some enemies difficult to defeat, careful planning is essential. The game offers four difficulty levels.
