Paladin’s Quest is a distinctive role-playing game released for the Super Nintendo in 1993 by Copya System and Enix. Set in an unconventional, alien world, it follows a young magic student named Chezni after he accidentally unleashes an ancient evil. The game stands out from its contemporaries with a striking pastel art style and a unique magic system where casting spells consumes health points rather than a dedicated magic meter.
How to Play
Your objective is to travel across the world, recruiting mercenaries and mastering magic to defeat the awakened Dal Gren before it destroys everything. In the browser, standard SNES controls apply: use the arrow keys to navigate the world and menus, press X for the A button (confirm/interact), Z for the B button (cancel), and Enter for Start. The S and A keys act as the X and Y buttons, while Q and W serve as the L and R shoulder buttons.
Tips
- Because casting magic drains your health, it is essential to stock up on healing items and rest at inns frequently to avoid dying from your own spells.
- You can only directly control Chezni and Midia. For the remaining two party slots, you must hire mercenaries whose autonomous actions are based on their specific classes, so choose companions that balance your team’s needs.
