THQ today announced that Lock’s Quest™, a new original adventure title exclusively for DS, has shipped

Description

A diabolical mechanical army devastates a kingdom as village after village fall under its wrath. A young, brave hero, Lock, is the kingdom’s last hope to survive the oncoming invasion. As a newly trained Archineer, Lock must utilize his skills to build customized towers, traps, walls, weapons, and other defenses in order to preserve the precious source artifacts.

Features

Players assume the role of Lock, a young archineer, as he creates a virtual world
block-by-block in order to defend his homeland against invading enemies.
4 large, unique worlds with more than 100 different areas.
Players must use different strategies to defend and protect the sacred source
artifacts, collect coins and scraps in order to make new weapons and build and
repair structures.
Two modes of play offer consistent, fast-paced action:
-- In Building Mode, Lock has a time limit to build structures inside the village and construct all necessary defensive items, including walls, weapons and traps, to prepare for the upcoming invasion.
-- In Battle Mode, players can either tap directly on an enemy to have Lock engage in one-on-one combat or launch special attacks to strengthen the attempt to defeat the invaders. In each battle session, a quicker kill yields more coins and scraps for the players to use in the next round.
Players will be able to challenge their friends in intense versus battles via multi-card pla
