Defender of the Crown II is the sequel to the smash hit Defender of the Crown. It improves over the game by upgrading the arcade sequences. Here, unlike the original game; sword fighting is about method and is not just wild clicking of the mouse button. The siege sequence is also enhanced with different types of ammo (such as Greek fire) to toss into the castle. The jousting is now easier to control and the lance no longer bounces around wildly. It is the year 1192. King Richard the Lionhearted has been captured by his enemies while returning to England from the Crusades. Four knights have volunteered to raise the ransom required to release the King, and free England from the clutches of Prince John.
