Evaluation

Fantasy General II: Prologue is a free-to-play standalone product that launched on July 2, 2020. It was explicitly created as a single, self-contained campaign called "The Curse," released as a gift to the Slitherine community as part of the publisher's 20th anniversary celebrations. The store description frames the game as a sampler — a free taste of the full Fantasy General II experience — rather than an ongoing platform for new content. Developer communications consist of the launch announcement on July 2, 2020 and a single bug fix patch on July 31, 2020. There have been no posts suggesting additional campaigns, expansions, or updates of any kind beyond that initial patch. The game launched as a complete, intentionally limited product and has received no developer communications since July 31, 2020.

About this game

The Curse Campaign

The Curse is a free procedurally generated campaign for Fantasy General II.

Everyone can play the Curse by downloading and installing Fantasy General II: Prologue, completely for free. You don't need to buy and own Fantasy General II in order to play it. The Curse is a free campaign giving you a taste of what Fantasy General II has to offer.

Select one of three Heroes and embark on a quest that will unveil a dark secret.

Level up your Hero and customize your Army

Battle after battle, your Heroes and units will gain experience and gain upgrades or powerful new skills... provided they survive.

Mighty artefacts and powerful spells

Dominate the battlefield by employing powerful artefacts, ancient weapons, magical medallions; turn the tides of war with devastating arcane spells.

Undead, dragons, lizardmen, harpies...

Keldonia is a land of variety. Recruit (and fight against!) all kinds of mysterious and arcane creatures, from Werebears to Trolls.

A taste of a richer world...

If you liked the Curse campaign and you would like to play the full version of Fantasy General II, with more heroes, more units, a longer story campaign, skirmish mode and multiplayer, look no further.
