Questron 2 review

ACE (1989): "Questron II is a very limited game in terms of interaction, but there's a fair amount of exploring to do. Gameplay is rapid and this combined with the fact that death brings immediate resurrection, makes it suitable for impatient players or those wanting a very simple introduction to this type of game. What you won't get, however, is the involvement that comes from creating your own characters and developing them together as a team. Perhaps Questron III will address this sad deficiency..."

Pretty decent top-view tile-based RGP adventure. Comparable to Ultima 4 and 5. Questron 2 is by no means a "must play" game, but if you liked the ultima games and want something kind of similar, Questron 2 is a decent option. It is occasionally a little klunky, but the story is actually fairly interesting and has some nice twists. Questron 2 was the better of the two in the series. Play this one, don't feel you need to play Questron 1.
