Item Description

Ultima was the grand old name of computer role-playing, a series about virtue and consequence that lived on floppy disks and thick manuals. Runes of Virtue II is what happened when that world was shrunk down for a game pad: a fast, top-down action adventure set in Britannia, with Lord British on the throne and the Black Knight causing trouble once again.

The Black Knight is back, this time stirring up chaos simply because he is bored, and Lord British sends the Avatar out to set things right. Before you start, you choose one of four heroes, and you can tackle the quest on any of three difficulty settings. From there it is real-time action across the countryside and down into a series of dungeons, where the real meat of the game lives. These are as much puzzle boxes as monster lairs, full of switches, hidden passages and obstacles that ask you to think about which item to use and where, so progress feels earned rather than ground out.

This Super Nintendo release, published by FCI in 1994, brought the sequel to the original Game Boy Runes of Virtue to a home console with color graphics and a bigger screen. It sits in an interesting spot in Ultima history: a side series that tried to capture the spirit of Richard Garriott's world, with its eight virtues and familiar landmarks, in a format that a console player could pick up and enjoy without a keyboard or a cloth map.

For an Ultima fan, it is a fascinating branch of the family tree and a way to visit Britannia on the Super Nintendo. For anyone else, it is a puzzle-heavy action RPG with a different flavor from the Zelda-style adventures around it, and a reminder of how far the Ultima name once reached beyond the PC.

About the game

Runes Of Virtue 2 is the sequel to Runes Of Virtue for the Game Boy. Released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as well as the Game Boy, Runes Of Virtue 2 maintains the action-RPG gameplay as the original. In this game, the Black Knight kidnaps Lord Tholden, simply out of boredom. Lord British sends you, the Avatar, out to recover Tholden and return peace to Brittania. As in the first Runes Of Virtue game you have the choice of selecting one of four characters. And again, there are three modes of difficulty.
