Eschalon: Book II - Gameplay

Gameplay

Eschalon: Book II is played from an isometric perspective with turn-based combat. The player controls one character that is created at the beginning of the game. Although mostly similar to the first installment of the series there are some notable differences between the two games. Your character now needs to eat and drink to survive, although this can be disabled by an option available in the menu if desired. Similarly, unless an option is selected by the player items and equipment will now degrade with use. Weather effects were also added, with the developer noting that weather is not only a visual effect but will also affect how the game plays. Additional changes include the ability to choose the gender of your character as well as now being playable in 1024x768 resolution.
