Dungeon Master II: Skullkeep
Description official descriptions
Chaos Strikes Back was a semi-sequel to seminal RPG Dungeon Master, but a true sequel came several years later. The game fuses real-time battles with puzzle solving and travelling, although the game now auto-maps. Rain and magic usage effects are incorporated into the engine. The first part of the game is spent above ground, visiting villages with shops and temples, and trawling through forests.

The Good
Dungeon Master II : The Legend of Skullkeep is not as good as DM1. Although it has better music, graphics and many new useful functions, you don't feel it is the good old Dungeon Master when playing it.
I don't say that DM2 is bad. It is just... different . DM2 has better graphics, tons of good music, many riddles, it has even shops in towns! It also has animated monsters.
I recommend this title to all rpg fans !
The Bad
It's just not the same, you don't have this feeling like in DM1, that you're trapped in the dungeon, and there is no exit : )
The Bottom Line
A very good rpg with many good ideas: shops, riddles etc. Although it is hard, it is worth playing! Recommended!
