Plot
The story told in Sorcery! 2 is linked to the first part, but knowing it is not required to enjoy the sequel. People who have completed the first game can import their characters, but nothing stands in the way of creating their hero from scratch. Players go to the city of Khare, where the Thieves Festival is taking place. Our task is to learn the secrets of this unusual location, to overthrow its council and to stop the approaching enemy army. On the other hand, the inhabitants of Khare do not necessarily deserve to be saved, so during the adventure we will have to decide on the future of the city.
Mechanics
The gameplay in Sorcery! 2, available on the PC, AND and iOS, involves exploration (we visit locations such as canals, ship's deck, interiors of some buildings). The locations were designed by Mike Schley (Wizards of the Coast). During the adventure, we discover the history of the city, for example through conversations with the characters we meet. Gameplay also requires you to make choices that influence the further course of the game and dialogues. In addition, we have to fight using a system that matches the available actions to our play style.
