Ishar 2: Messengers of Doom

Ishar 2: Messengers of Doom continues the story of Ishar: Legend of the Fortress in the Aborean archipelago. After the destruction of Krogh, a new evil lord named Shandar rises, and Zubaran, the current ruler of Ishar, tasks the player with finding and destroying him.

The game expands on its predecessor with a larger fantasy world, topography, a wider variety of characters and creatures, and a map that displays the player's position along with locations to visit or avoid. Players begin alone and without money, but may have the option to use their team from Ishar 1.

More focused prerequisite tasks reduce aimless wandering, though the adventure can become somewhat linear and demands careful observation. Developed and published by Silmarils, the game was released in 1992 for Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, DOS, and MS-DOS.
