Dragon Warrior II (ドラゴンクエストII 悪霊の神々, Doragon Kuesuto Tsū Akuryo no Kamigami^?, lit. "Dragon Quest II: Pantheon of Evil Spirits") is a role-playing game that was initially released for the Famicom in Japan on January 26, 1987. It is the second installment in the Dragon Quest series.

Gameplay

Dragon Warrior II is a role-playing game. The player controls his or her characters as they move in the game world. They can search treasure chests, talk and trade with villagers, equip weapons and armor, and cast spells. However, if the player wanders in the wilderness they may be attacked and go into battle mode.

In the battle mode, the player must give orders to his characters on how to fight these monsters. When all monsters are defeated, the player's characters gain experience points and gold. The experience points can give a character an experience level which improves a character’s attributes and they may also learn a new spell.

To win, the player must fight many monsters to improve their character's experience level and get coins to buy better weapons and armor. Eventually, the player's characters become strong enough to make it to the next town or dungeon. This repeats until the player reaches the end boss, Hargon, and defeats him.

The game offers three spots to save the game. It also allows deletion and the moving of saved games. To save, find a king or minister and talk to them.

Dragon Warrior II is noted for greatly expanding the game play from the previous game, Dragon Warrior. Dragon Warrior II is the first game in the series to feature multiple heroes and enemies in a battle, as well as a sailing ship. It was also the first to have weapons which cast spells when used in battles. In addition, Dragon Warrior II offers a wider array of spells and items and a much larger world.

Plot and setting

Plot

Dragon Warrior II is set 100 years after Dragon Warrior. A century of peace is suddenly ended when the evil wizard Hargon destroys the country of Moonbrooke. One lone guard, an injured survivor of the attack, makes his way towards the kingdom of Midenhall. There with his dying breath he informs the king of the dire circumstances. The king then commands his son, the prince of Midenhall and a descendant of Erdrick (also known as Loto in later versions), to defeat Hargon.
