Item Description

A wounded soldier staggers into Midenhall Castle with terrible news: the wizard Hargon has destroyed the kingdom of Moonbrooke. So begins Dragon Warrior II, set a hundred years after the first game, as the Prince of Midenhall rides out to find his royal cousins and set things right. It is a darker, broader and far more demanding adventure than the original, and the game that turned Dragon Warrior from a single quest into a saga.

The biggest change is the party. Instead of fighting alone, you gather three descendants of Erdrick with distinct roles. The Prince of Midenhall is a pure fighter with no magic, the Prince of Cannock balances sword and spell, and the Princess of Moonbrooke, whom you first have to find and free from a curse that has turned her into a dog, becomes a powerful spellcaster. Battles now throw groups of monsters at you, so deciding who attacks, who heals and who casts turns every fight into a small tactical puzzle.

The world grew to match. Once you earn a ship, a huge ocean opens up, scattered with islands, shrines and towns, and the map stretches well beyond Alefgard, the setting of the first game, which you can sail back to and explore again. Developed by Chunsoft and published by Enix in Japan in 1987, it reached North America in 1990 with a battery save in place of the Japanese version's password system, a welcome change for a quest this long.

Dragon Warrior II is also famous for its challenge. The final stretch, a punishing trek through caves and mountains toward Rhone and Hargon's castle, is the stuff of 8-bit legend, and finishing it is a badge players still wear proudly. This is the chapter where the party-based Dragon Warrior that later entries refined first took shape, and the bridge that carries the Erdrick story from its humble beginning toward the grand finale of the third game.

About the game

Dragon Warrior II is an early top-down RPG that expands and improves on its predecessor. Unlike the first game, Dragon Warrior II allows the player to join forces with two other characters, a magic-using princess and a wizard-warrior prince. Also including expanded monster battles involving up to 6 creatures and a much larger world, Dragon Warrior II is an important step in the evolution of the Dragon Warrior series.
