Please have patience while loading. (No images indicates loading or offline  \nstatus.)  \nSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS  \nMinimum: 1GB RAM, 512BM Graphics Card. Recommended: 4GB RAM. The Windows version is bundled with needed components. On Mac/Linux, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed (download from: [http://www.java.com](http://www.java.com)).  \nThe game has been verified to run on Win64/Win32/MacOSX/Linux64/Linux32 systems. If you are uncertain if you system can run the game, download and try the Free Trial Demo version.  \nUser Interface and Controls  \n1 av 14 2015-04-02 00:49  \nLord of the Dark Castle-Manual [http://craze.se/lotdc/manual.php](http://craze.se/lotdc/manual.php)  \n2 av 14 2015-04-02 00:49  \nLord of the Dark Castle-Manual [http://craze.se/lotdc/manual.php](http://craze.se/lotdc/manual.php)  \nGame Features  \nThe main purpose of this game is to be a fun fast-paced turn based casual dungeon crawler with a bit of strategy, lots of randomness for added replay-value and some good old skool 'Hard Core'-mode (death is permanent!) for extra tension. Here are the main features of the game:  \n Casual style, simple game play, fast to get started.  \n 100% flat skill tree with skills that make a difference! Try out a completely different skill-build-up next time-no limits on combinations!  \n Random monster spawns: you never know, an Elite Fire Dragon might spawn already on level 1 (althouth the chance is small) .  \n Random item attributes, e.g. weapons can be enchanted with lots of different skills and combinations of skills. Greater  \n3 av 14 2015-04-02 00:49  \nLord of the Dark Castle-Manual [http://craze.se/lotdc/manual.php](http://craze.se/lotdc/manual.php)  \nreplay value.  \n Randomized level maps. All levels are randomized, including amount of rooms, amount of items, amount of gold, amount of monsters, etc.  \n Monsters are unique. There are no standard easy kills. Even a small and weak rat can suddenly downcap your max hitpoints from 500 to 100 with a disease!  \n The game is NOT perfectly balanced. This gives a promise of big variety.  \n Every hit counts! If you just storm forward towards all monsters, the monster may get the first hit... which could cause disease/fear, etc. Be careful!  \nWith a bit of luck, it SHOULD be possible to complete the game at normal difficulty within 1-2 hours! Then why play again?  \nYou get points based on number of turns used to complete the game. Fewer turns to complete the game => more points! Have you found the optimal choice of skills? Probably it won't matter that much, because next time you play, you may get a super weapon already on level two that boosts your progress big time. And then you get slain on level 4 by an Elite Orc that happens to be equipped with an extremely powerful ring... You never know what will happen! :-)  \nGoal  \nCleanse the kingdom from the Dark Castle's black magic corrupting the land. Reach the lowest Dungeon Level and destroy the Corrupting Orb of Black Magic, guarded by a terrible monster. Find items to help you along the way:  \n Gold to buy equipment.  \n Buy new equipment from \"little gnome shops\" . Sometimes items can be found in the dungeon that will have an associated cost (the little gnome's price). If you have the gold, you can buy the item!  \n Free loot in chests, barrels and boxes. If you open a container, like a chest, the loot inside is always free!  \n Light sources: torch and lantern will increase your view distance.  \nA good advice is to build some strength and equip yourself before going further down into the Dungeon...  \nDifficulty Levels  \nSince the game is rather short-only 7 levels-to get a f","cbCaid2PJkmmGE8I","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid2PJkmmGE8I","pdf",831871,1,14,"English","en",105,"# System Requirements\n# User Interface and Controls\n## Movement and Actions\n## Fast Travel\n# Game Features\n# Goal\n# Difficulty Levels","[{\"question\":\"What are the minimum and recommended system requirements to run the game?\",\"answer\":\"Minimum requirements specify 1GB RAM and a 512MB graphics card, with 4GB RAM recommended.
