The famous fantasy-themed board game was converted into an isometric-viewed role-playing game in which the evil Wizard Morcar must be defeated. You take control of a wizard, a dwarf, a barbarian, and an elf, each with different strengths and weaknesses, who each start the 14 missions from opposite sides of the board. Strict turn-based movement rules apply, as actions other than movement can only be carried out before or after the move, the size of which is limited by a dice roll. These moves are carried out using an icon-based system. Characters can fight the many monsters which lurk, or cast spells to vanquish them. There are magic potions to uncover, but also hidden traps, so mapping is advised. Treasure can be collected and traded at the shop after each level. HeroQuest: Return of the Witch Lord is a HeroQuest expansion pack with a set of new quests and adapted from a similar expansion to the original board game. This time the quests follow an ongoing storyline. The Witch Lord is back, and the heroes enter the ruined city Kalos to find and defeat him. This expansion plays similarly to the original game, but as the manual warns, it is more difficult. For the DOS version of the game, the expansion pack was only available through the HeroQuest + HeroQuest: Return of the Witch Lord bundle.
