The team at Brain Seal has announced the availability of Dark Quest II: Castle of Doom on Steam Early Access, giving us a chance to check out the turn-based RPG sequel before it evolves to a more public-friendly release.

On to the full description:
Dark Quest II: Castle of Doom is a turn based RPG inspired by legendary board game Hero Quest. The game features a party based system where you control up to 3 heroes, an isometric hand-drawn art style, dice based mechanics for all computations where it essentially rolls dice to determine the outcome and much more.
Each map is designed to take you through an adventure that will test your party's strength, courage and sanity as you get deeper and deeper into the castle in search for the chambers of the evil sorcerer.
