The game features a turn-based combat system that challenges your strategic thinking, new creatures and obstacles, and battles resolved through primary objectives rather than max-murdering the other side. Make difficult decisions that can lead to starvation, mutiny or death, while defying traditional conventions and rejecting typical rules of morality.

Captivating art direction
Improved combat system
New creatures and obstacles
Battles resolved through primary objectives

Difficult for new players who did not play the first game
Console controls are awkward and obtuse
Environmental art can make combat harder to navigate
