"Castle Quest"

This game is called, obviously, Castle Quest. It has many different elements that make it a very interesting and fun game. I shall list them.

Password:
You put in passwords to go to different levels instead of starting over. Every password is a fruit, but the vowels have numbers. For example: 1PPL2
You can easily guess the passwords and get far in the game instantly.

Gameplay:
On the battle field, it reminds you of chess. Except, the characters have spells. Well, some do. When you attack a monster, a card (ace, 2, 3, 4, 5...Jack, Queen, King, and Joker is there too) is chosen for you, and then you attack them if the card is higher then the enemy's defence. Then the enemy does the same. Eventually, someone will win. A joker is an instant kill. There are stars on some squares. If you land on one of these and its not on your side of the field, you will get leveled up. Example: Karate to Karate-X. Every time someone dies, a cofffin appears behind thier side of the battlefield. If there are 5(sometimes its different, but it's usually five)coffins behind them, the battle field gets smaller. To win a level, you must kill the king. Each king has a different name, and each says a different thing when they die.

Characters:
There are tons of different characters with different abilities. Kings, Spiders, Karate, etc. Some know magic that hurts enemies in a certain area. Some have abilities that heal some of your troops. There are probably around 50-70 different characters. They also say things when you fight them. "Your making me miss lunch" and things like that.

Overall:
There is about 25 levels, 50-70 characters, 1 of you, and a whole lot of playing! So get to it! I rate it a 7, just because the graphics aren't hugely amazing. So, I would definately reccomend this to people who like chess, or are just plain bored and want a quick game to play.
