It is roughly the same sort of game: you battle opponents using match-3 games, you explore numerous locations looking for quests to complete and companions to recruit, and you build up your character so you can save humanity from a terrible threat. It's the details that are different. In Challenge of the Warlords, developer Infinite Interactive took great care to create a charming and playable game.
