Dragon Quest II: Difference between revisions

'''Dragon Quest II: Akuryo no Kamigami''' (Dragon Warrior II, 悪霊の神々, lit. ''Pantheon of Evil Spirits'') is a role-playing game and sequel to the original [[Dragon Quest]].  It was initially released for the [[Famicom]] in Japan on January 26, 1987.  It would later be released in North America in 1990 and has been remade several times on different platforms.   

The gameplay, much like its predecessor, is a classic style role playing game.  Although it is much like the first [[Dragon Warrior]] in terms of the gameplay style many new features were added.  Instead of traveling alone this time around you had two other companions that joined you as you traveled on your quest.  Rather than attacking alone monsters would now fight together as well.  Another new feature was the introduction of a ship which allowed the player to travel around the whole world.  You could now save at multiple towns instead of just one and many new spells, equipment, and items were added.  Gambling also made its first appearance in the series in the form of a slot machine that you could play.

This is the classic warrior of the three heroes. He can use any armor and weapon in the game. He has no magic ability (this is the only game in the series in which this is so), but his physical attack and defense are the greatest of the three. This is the character the player starts out with in the castle of Middenhall. His name is directly selected by the player.

''Dragon Quest II'' is the second installment of the ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' series. ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' is the prequel to ''Dragon Quest'', and ''[[Dragon Quest (game)|Dragon Quest]]'' is the previous entry in the series.
