_________________________

This sequel to SSI's Wizard's Crown plays very much like the original. It's a fantasy RPG where you assemble a party of adventurers and explore a map. In this game, the world is being invaded by Demons coming in from a portal to another dimension, and your job is to find the one item that can seal the portal, The Eternal Dagger.

Like Wizard's Crown, this game is notable for its detailed, tactical combat system. There was also a "quick combat" mode if you didn't want to spend the time in the tactical mode, allowing you to focus more on conventional RPG features such as exploration.

Description from the packaging.:

As you step beyond the magic gateway, you hear the huge hall echo with the weary intonation of the wizened sorcerer: "We bless you for coming to Middle World, for you are her last hope."
His voice trembled as he continues: "Hordes of monsters from the Demon World have crossed into our dimension through a much larger portal. Our efforts to turn back this hideous invasion have met with failure. We beseech you to save our land not only out of pity. If you cannot stop the demons here and now, the next world they seek to vanquish is your own."

Welcome to The Eternal Dagger, the exciting sequel to SSI's best-selling Wizard's Crown. Your first order of battle is to search for magical weapons because your band of eight have come ill-equipped. Then you must embark on different quests to build up your abilities and solve innumerable puzzles to gather the clues you need to survive in this harsh, cruel world.
If you can defeat the invading force, you must search for the Demon Portal and find the one enchanted weapon that can seal it- The Eternal Dagger.
