【About 'Hydlide II'】
This is an action RPG released by T&E SOFT in 1985. The pure-hearted protagonist, chosen by God, embarks on an adventure to seal an evil consciousness.
In addition to the popular ramming attack system from the previous work, new magic spells such as FIRE, ICE, WAVE, and JUMP are now available, and the concept of good and evil is expressed with the addition of the FORTH (conscience) parameter. Other features include information gathering through conversation mode, shopping in towns, character development, and a map six times larger than the previous work, significantly surpassing the predecessor in both quality and quantity.
This title, called an active RPG at the time, is all about action. Players fight monsters by ramming them while switching between attack and defense modes. Defeating monsters earns experience points, allowing players to level up and become stronger. When injured, health automatically recovers by resting in flat areas.
