Shadow of the Beast II

version: pal, ltd edition - year: 1990 - developer: reflections - publisher: psygnosis - format: a500, 2 disks - condition: mint w/0 t-shirt - rarity: oversized box uncommon

Review - SOTB II marks a clear departure from the original game, at least in terms of graphical style and setting.

The audio-visuals are still among the best you can find on Amiga, with evocative fantasy landscapes which suggest a world full of mystery and adventuring but gameplay is unfairly hard.

If you want infinite health, go to the right and talk to the first savage you encounter in the forest and type: "TEN PINTS". You will become invincible. Lame game, lame tricks.

Bottom line: Gone is the sci-fi theme, but the beautiful cosmetics and tunes are still here, as well as the insane difficulty level which is even more extreme in this sequel...6/10
