Fairy Tale Adventure 2: Halls of the Dead

Fairy Tale Adventure 2: Halls of the Dead (1997) continues its predecessor’s tradition of sprawling fantasy exploration with a darker, more dangerous edge. Available on DOS and later Windows systems, it throws players into a world packed with monsters, mysteries, and the constant fear of being underprepared. The scale is impressive, sometimes intimidating, and the game clearly expects commitment. Navigation can be unforgiving, and combat punishes careless decisions, but there’s satisfaction in mastering its systems. The atmosphere leans grim, making progress feel hard-earned rather than handed out. Halls of the Dead isn’t for everyone, yet for those willing to invest time and patience, it delivers a deep, old-school adventure that values persistence and curiosity over instant gratification.
