Hero of Egypt II

Hero of Egypt II is a God-of-War-style third-person action-adventure video game developed and published by Empire Entertainment; it is the second installment of the series, the third chronogically, and the sequel of the original Hero of Egypt. Loosely based on the Egyptian mythology (and partly Mesopotamian), it is set in Ancient Egypt, with heroism as central motif. The player controls the protagonist, named Imhotep, whom has become the Pharaoh of Egypt. Imhotep learns that a new threat, the Babylonian empire, born from the ashes of the Assyrian empire, is seeking to dominate the known world, stopping at nothing to achieve its goals. During his journey, his quest for heroism will also become a quest for vengeance.

The gameplay is very similar to the previous installment, and focuses on combo-based combat, achieved through the player's main weapon - Pharaoh's Khopesh - and secondary weapons acquired throughout the game. It features quick time events that require the player to complete various game controller actions in a timed sequence to defeat stronger enemies and bosses. The player can use up to four magical attacks and a power-enhancing ability as alternative combat options. The game also features puzzles and platforming elements. In addition to its vastly similar gameplay, Hero of Egypt II features improved puzzles and four times as many bosses as the original.
