How it feels

A cheeky, gothic romp through Victorian London where skeleton-hero antics and Halloween-flavored chaos keep things playfully spooky rather than genuinely scary.

About

MediEvil II is an action-adventure game developed by SCE Cambridge Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Released in 2000 for the PlayStation, it is a sequel to the original MediEvil and continues the story of Sir Daniel Fortesque. Set in Victorian-era London, the game follows Sir Dan as he is resurrected once again to stop a sorcerer named Lord Palethorn, who has unleashed chaos by reanimating the dead using pages from Zarok's spellbook. The gameplay combines hack-and-slash combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving, with new weapons, levels, and enemies. The game introduces unique features such as a ghostly ally, Kiya, and new mechanics like controlling Dan’s detached head for specific puzzles.

What players say

A gothic-comedic action adventure moving Sir Dan to Victorian London, blending zombie humor and ghoulish charm. Loved for its polish over the original but divisive on story and characterization, with awkward camera and perspective issues.
