The sequel to the mighty Dungeon Master is a great game in its own right. First released by Interplay in 1995.

Dungeon Master II: The Legend of Skullkeep is somewhat different, but still feels like the familiar Dungeon Master. It has the same spell system, and the same look and feel. And is just as devious, challenging and addictive to play as its predecessor.

Dungeon Master II has a mix of indoor and outdoor locations, and – unlike the first game, this is not all about going down ever-deeper dungeons. You spend most of your time outdoors, the truth be told. And are rarely ever left in peace by the monsters (just like in the first game).

Dungeon Master II: The Legend of Skullkeep is a cult classic. Not quite loved enough to be well known, but more than good enough to be played and appreciated.
