Eschalon: Book II Download PC

Eschalon: Book II is an isometric, turn-based single player role-playing video game by Basilisk Games. Like the first game in the series, Eschalon: Book I, it features a large and openly explorable game world, a comprehensive management of character statistics and skills, and a non-linear storyline.

Gameplay

Eschalon: Book II is played from an isometric perspective with turn-based combat. The player controls one character that is created at the beginning of the game. Although mostly similar to the first installment of the series there are some notable differences between the two games. Your character now needs to eat and drink to survive, although this can be disabled by an option available in the menu if desired. Similarly, unless an option is selected by the player items and equipment will now degrade with use. Weather effects were also added, with the developer noting that weather is not only a visual effect but will also affect how the game plays. Additional changes include the ability to choose the gender of your character as well as now being playable in 1024x768 resolution.

Story

The story continues directly from the end of Eschalon: Book I, with the same character, but is set a few years later. Although able to repel the Goblin attacks, Thaermore has fallen after being attacked by the Taurax from the neighboring land of Amireth. As such, the game starts in the land Midlande to the north of Thaermore, just outside the town of Eastwillow where the player character purchased a cottage shortly after escaping Thaermore. The game begins with the player discovering a mysterious note left on his doorstep by a man called Darus, which asks the player to meet him at the nearby Wayfarer's Joy Inn. Upon meeting Darus, he explains that he is a part of a mysterious guild known as Cirus Vindica, and that you were also at one point part of this same guild.
