SWORD OF HOPE II 2 (GAME BOY UK)

500 years ago, King Winder sealed the evil demon Zakdos in a coffin, ending the dark war. The great wizard Colin promised that he and his descendants would build and protect a temple around Zakdos Prison. However, as a thief enters the temple and smashes the coffin, Zakdos is freed and murders all that remain of Colin's clan except for a young boy named Mute. To make matters worse, the Sword of Hope, which sealed an evil dragon, is also stolen. The player takes control of Prince Theo who, with the help of Mute and other characters, must stop Zakdos and retrieve the Sword of Hope before the dragon awakens.

The main difference between The Sword of Hope II and its predecessor is the fact that you control a party of up to three characters rather than just controlling Prince Theo. Other than that, the two games play very similarly. The world is seen from a first person perspective and your party can be moved around by selecting an arrow pointing in the desired direction. Commands such as "look", "open", "press" etc. can be chosen from a menu to explore and manipulate the game world, talk to NPCs, or solve puzzles. When you encounter enemies, you enter a turn-based battle mode where you can attack, use items and magic, or try to escape.
