Game Description

Castle of the Winds is a roguelike tile-based video game for Microsoft Windows. Rick Saada created it in 1989[1] and Epic MegaGames released it in 1993. The author released the game into the public domain in 1998 and made it available as freeware for download. Though secondary to its hack and slash action, Castle of the Winds contains a plot largely based on Norse mythology that is told through setting changes, special artifacts, and brief text sections. The game is divided into two parts: A Question of Vengeance, which was published as shareware, and Lifthransir’s Bane, which was sold commercially. A combined license for both portions was also made available.

In several aspects, the game varies from conventional roguelikes. Its interface is mouse-based, however, it enables keyboard shortcuts (for example, ‘g’ to obtain an item). After dying, the player can also recover saved games in Castle of the Winds.

Because spells are the only weapons that operate from a distance, the game encourages the employment of magic in warfare. The player character acquires a spell with each level of experience and can permanently gain others by reading relevant books until all thirty spells are learned. Cold vs. fire and lightning vs. acid/poison are the two opposing elements. There are six types of spells: assault, defense, healing, mobility, divination, and miscellaneous.

The inventory system in Castle of the Winds limits a player’s load based on weight and bulk rather than the number of goods. It enables the character to employ various containers such as packs, belts, chests, and bags. Weapons, armor, protective clothes, purses, and ornamental jewelry are among the other goods. Almost every item in the game can be normal, cursed, or enchanted, and curses and enchantments work similarly to NetHack. Although goods do not break when used, they may be broken or corroded when discovered. Most of the items in the character’s inventory can be renamed.

There is always a town before entering the dungeon that offers the basic services of a temple for healing and curing curses, a junk store where anything can be sold for a few copper coins, a sage who can identify items, and (from the second town onwards) a bank for storing the total capacity of coins to lighten the player’s load. Outfitters, weaponsmiths, armoursmiths, magic shops, and general stores are examples of services that differ and vary in what they sell.

The game keeps track of how much time is spent playing it. Although the passage of time does not cause plot events, it does determine when merchants rotate their goods. Victorious players are mentioned as “Valhalla’s Champions” in chronological order, from fastest to slowest. If a player dies, their name remains on the list, but they are labeled as “Dead,” with their experience point total as of the final fatal blow. The difficulty of the last boss is also determined by the amount of time invested.
