Questron II takes place across two continents: Landor and the Realm of Sorcerers. The game follows a similar formula to its predecessor, with the player starting as a lowly peasant aiming to defeat hordes of creatures and gain wealth, experience, and title.
The goal is now more focused, with the good Wizard Mesron sending the protagonist back in time before the creation of the Book of Magic. The objective is to defeat the six Mad Sorcerers before they can create this book. By progressing through tombs, castles, and dungeons, the player must thwart the plans of these sorcerers.
