Gameplay

HeroQuest 2: Legacy of Sorasil plays similarly to its predecessor. Up to four players choose a character from a pool of eight predefined hero characters. Together they explore dungeons and other locations in rounds, fight against computer-controlled creatures and look for better equipment. The whole thing is embedded in a loose plot, according to which an epidemic has broken out in the land of Rhia due to a prolonged drought. The heroes should find an amulet and an oracle stone to fight the plague. The cards are presented from a three-dimensional isometric perspective , the playing field is divided into square fields. The game consists of nine missions in total. The heroes increase in character level after completing a mission and can be improved by buying items in department stores.

Unlike its predecessor, HeroQuest 2 requires more cooperation between players. In comparison, the CD32 version has a more extensive color gamut and improved sound.

" The Legacy of Sorasil spreads the same cultivated boredom that made its predecessor the meditation program for stressed computer gamers."
