History of Barbarian II

Barbarian II es un juego de videoaventura publicado por Palace Software en 1988 para el ZX Spectrum.

The evil Drax, after being defeated by Barbarian, escaped to the dungeons hidden beneath his castle and vowed to bring ruin to the kingdom. Once again the barbarian warrior, accompanied by Princess Mariana, sets out on a perilous journey to the warlock's lair, where many dangers await them.

Barbarian and Princess Mariana join forces against their most powerful enemy. The sorcerer Drax cries out for revenge!

How to play Barbarian II

Before reaching Drax's sanctuary, we have to overcome three scenarios with a labyrinthine structure. To avoid getting disorientated, we have the help of a sword which, like a compass, always points north. On each screen it is possible to move left and right, and go through doors or caves.

Each level has fearsome enemies who, like us, possess a certain amount of vitality. Thanks to our mastery with the sword we have a wide repertoire of attacks, some of them lethal if we are sufficiently accurate. On our way we will find some magical objects, some of them essential to finish our mission.
