Quest for Glory 2: Trial By Fire

Quest for Glory 2: Trial by Fire is the second game in the Quest for Glory series. This one is also a text command based game the same as the first.

You begin the game as the Hero of Spielburg, who has just returned the von Spielburg family to their former glory and who has deafted the evil witch Baba Yaga. You are now in the town of shappeir, home to a race of cat like creatures, 2 of which you met back in Spielburg. They had asked you to return home with them as their town of shappeir was also in need of a hero.

Just like the first game, you get to choose your class. However, you are able to import a Hero from the previous game into this one, importing all of their stats into this game. If you do decide to import a character from the first game and you completed the previous game a certain way (mostly by doing good deeds like helping people and avoiding doing bad things like stealing), you will have the option to play as a paladin. A Paladin is a mix between a fighter and a Spell Caster, with his own special set of spells.

Along the way you will help to save the town of shappeir from a terrible ancient prophecy that comes to life over a series of events as you play the days out.

I must say i didn't enjoy this game that much. This is probably due to the fact I first played this one recently where as I played the first game a long time before hand, so I had fond memories for the first game. Nonetheless it was still great fun, with even more fun and entertaining puzzles to complete. I would highly recommend this to people who enjoy Role Playing games and those who enjoyed the first game.

Stay tuned for part 3 Quest for Glory 3: Wages of War!
