GrailQuest description

Perhaps the least known and successful adventure game on the world of the epic about king Arthur, with not quite clear story. The main goal is clear from the title – to find the Holy Grail, but the game also has a large number of "minor" quests.

Despite the fact that the entire game is essentially a set of static images and panels interface, a text adventure game it can not be called. You will have to read quite a lot, but typing words with a keyboard is not necessary – there are many options that can be activated with the mouse. Basically, the interface consists of commands located at the bottom of the game screen (above is a picture of your current location, to the right of the text description): to see, to take, to go, to use, to attack, to see your status, rest and so on (all of the actions very much, the game is very detailed).

The status screen is a small role-playing element of the game, there you can see the health level of your character, and also because the game fanatasia, the level of damage and strength of spirit. There is in the game and battle, but, of course, also conditional, managed teams on a single screen; where the team has targeted specific attacks and weapons that you want to use on the enemy.

The graphics in the game are quite beautiful static images of different locations – from the Palace of the forest Arthur and Stonehenge. Overall – the game is hard on the fan, so as to read do have a lot, but in this universe there are far more interesting games.
