About
Released in Japan under the name of "Eiyuu Densetsu II", the game takes place several years after the events of the first opus and offers a world rich in political conflicts, ancient legends and epic confrontations. You embody Atlas, a young hero trained despite him in a war threatening the balance of the kingdom.
Thanks to Super CD-ROM2 support, this PC-Engine adaptation benefits from high-quality CD music, numerous digitalized voices and a much more immersive staging than the original micro versions.
A Classic RPG in the Great Falcom Tradition
Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes II focuses on exploring, advancing characters and narration.
- A vast world to travel with cities, dungeons, castles and secret regions.
- Battles in turn by turn accessible but strategic.
- A very developed scriptural progression for the time.
- An exceptional soundtrack by Falcom Sound Team.
- Numerous typical illustrations and sequences of Falcom productions from the early 1990s.
The title also marks an important transition in Falcom's history: the Legend of Heroes series will eventually become one of the studio's major RPG licenses, long before Trails in the Sky or Trails of Cold Steel.
A highly appreciated PC-Engine Adaptation
This Super CD-ROM2 version is particularly sought after by PC-Engine collectors for several reasons:
- A superior audio production thanks to the CD format.
- Limited loading times for the time.
- A superb artistic direction faithful to the Falcom style.
- A Japanese edition became more difficult to find complete.
The game retains all the atmosphere of the great Japanese RPG of the early 1990s, with a mix of adventure, drama and exploration that will seduce collectors as well as retro JRPG fans.

An Incontourable for Falcom and PC-Engine Amateurs
Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes II is a prime piece for any PC-Engine or Falcom collection, with its rich universe, meticulous realization and historical importance in the evolution of Japanese RPG.
A great classic of the 1990s JRPG, in a complete Japanese edition difficult to find in such a good condition.
