How it feels
A methodical, old-school RPG where deliberate turn-based combat and freeform exploration create a contemplative, strategic feel.

What players say
Players say Eschalon Book II improves on the first in most ways with more content and polish, but they are split on the difficulty. Some find the RNG frustrating and enemies unbalanced, while others enjoy the challenge. The main criticism is an abrupt cliffhanger ending that does not resolve the story. A locked 1024x768 resolution is noted.
