The Castle Burns!

The Castle Burns! casts you as Sir Gene Ric Knight or another Champion, tasked with stopping Malika, a goblin-like enemy who is setting fire to everything in her path—including your castle. The game frames the rescue as a chaotic fantasy adventure with a deliberately irreverent tone. As you face the threat, you can level up to gain weapons and collect gold coins to purchase powerful items. A narrator accompanies the action, and fairies can be killed for their life force.
