The Sword of Hope II follows the story of Prince Theo, who, together with the young survivor Mute and other allies, sets out to confront evil. Five hundred years ago, King Winder sealed the demon Zakdos in a casket, but when a thief breaks it open, Zakdos escapes, annihilates nearly all of wizard Colin's clan, and steals the Sword of Hope, once used to seal away a dragon. Your mission is to stop Zakdos and reclaim the sword before the dragon awakens. Unlike its predecessor, you now command a party of up to three characters. The world is explored from a first-person perspective by selecting directional arrows and using commands such as “look,” “open,” or “hit” to interact with the environment, talk to NPCs, or solve puzzles. Battles are turn-based – you can attack, use items or magic, or attempt to escape.
