King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne is a game where players move Graham around with arrow keys and perform actions by typing commands in the interface, which are usually combination of verbs and nouns.

Compared to the first game, it is bigger and busier, with more locations and places of interest. Puzzles follow a similar format; knowledge of fairy tales is advisable for solving some of them, and complex solutions grant the player more points than a brute force approach possible in some cases.
