    I was dissapointed with cosmos cop, it's too generic it's too repetitive etc. As for Ironsword Wizards & Warriors II, this game need no introduction, a much better game that i still like and respect to this date. The last boss was a ordeal to beat without any deaths. Even if the first one is almost as good, Ironsword Wizards & Warriors II is still my favorite in the series. The music is better, the graphics were also improved.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors II is a platforming action-adventure video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) developed by UK-based company Zippo Games, a subsidiary of Rare Ltd. it was published by Acclaim and released in North America in December 1989 and in Europe on March 27, 1991. It is the sequel to Rare's 1987 title Wizards & Warriors. In Ironsword, the player controls the knight warrior Kuros as he ventures in the land of Sindarin. He must defeat the evil wizard , who has assumed the elemental forms of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. Kuros must collect the parts of and assemble the legendary "IronSword" in order to defeat Malkil, who resides at the top of IceFire Mountain. Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors II was developed by Zippo Games' founder Ste Pickford and was the first game that he developed for the NES. Steve Hughes also assisted in development, while Rare's video game composer David Wise did the music and sound. Pickford wanted to expand on the previous Wizards & Warriors game. Having experience with developing computer games, Pickford used various animation and graphics techniques to try and show off the NES' graphical capabilities. In addition, Acclaim hired Italian male model Fabio Lanzoni to pose as mighty Kuros .
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    As for characters, bosses, and gameplay, reviews criticized its lack of originality as compared to other games that were released at the time. The game led Zippo Games to develop additional games for Rare on the NES such as Solar Jetman: Hunt for the Golden Warpship and Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros: Visions Visions Power. Ironsword won "Game Player's NES Excellence Award" from Game Players magazine as one of the better NES titles of 1990. Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors II is a platforming video game where the player controls the renowned warrior Kuros as he explores the land of Sindarin to defeat the evil wizard Malkil. This time, Malkil has taken the form of the four "Elementals", based on the Greek classical elements - Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water - to stop Kuros in his quest. The objective is to assemble the legendary "IronSword" - the only weapon that can defeat Malkil - and defeat the evil wizard who lies at the peak of IceFire Mountain. In the game, players can move Kuros left or right, or make him crouch with the control pad; the buttons allow Kuros to jump, to use his sword or a magic spell to defeat enemies, to access the "Magic Spell Screen", or to pause the game. Kuros has a life meter that decreases every time he get hit by his enemies and foes.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    After losing all his lives, players may continue and restart the game where they left off up to two times. The continue feature would normally be disabled after the player had completed the earth domain, but due to an in-game bug, the player actually loses the continue function immediately upon merely setting foot in the domain. Ironsword: Wizards & Warriors II consists of four levels called "domains," each named after the four elementals. In each domain, Kuros must find a golden artifact that belongs to the domain's "Animal King" and return it to him. Upon doing so, the path to the second part of the domain will appear. In the second part, Kuros must find the magic spell necessary to defeat the boss - the domain's Elemental. Without the spell, it is impossible to damage the boss. Once the elemental in each stage has been destroyed, Kuros obtains a piece of the IronSword, which is needed for the final battle on Icefire Mountain. Throughout the game, players must collect items, spells, and money to progress. Money helps buy magic spells, more powerful weapons, shields, helmets, keys to open locked treasure chests, and additional food.

Over the years I'd try describing what little i could remember (mostly just that it was kinda like Zelda but not top down pov, and character being in full armor) but no one ever knew what game i was talking about. I got baked and started searching google and next the ng i know i see a screenshot that goofy looking frog and I'm like "i think that's THE game" then i watched and as soon as i heard the music and saw that slide animation i was like "IT IS THE GAME". Got an emulator with every Atari, NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis games on it. So much fun.

    This game could have so much more potential.
    They could make it longer.
    The sindarin-items could have hidden uses, such as: The book could reduce vendor prices, and/or explain how the spells function.
    The cross could maybe reveal hidden doors. But then it should be found in the very first stage, but perhaps even more secluded.
    The gauntlet could reduce damage taken by say 30% (in addition to other armor items, which would give a % defense too).
    The ring could make you passively and slowly regenerate magic.
    It is not a bad game, but it could be so much better with just a little more tweaking!! And that is such a shame it does not have it.
    I wish i knew a bit about programming so that i could make the changes myself, and re-release it as a fan made game.

    I remember a glitch! If, after you beat the cloud monster, you stand by the exit and get the sword handle by shooting it, you'll land and exit before they can take your zap power away and you'll have it throughout the game.

      Many gamers seem to prefer the first game but i really think that iron sword is a superior game. The graphics are better, items selection, the bosses, animals guardians etc...they did some nice upgrades after the released of the first game. The controls could have been better, all the trilogy is missing some better controls.

      Heroes of Xanadu - Sloth Heroes of Xanadu - Sloth Definitely agree on everything you said!

Not to mention it has badass Fabio on the cover! What more can you want? (No Homo)! Lol

    This was one of the hardest nes games I ever beat. The combat mechanics were very frustrating; I don't think there's ever been another game where you lose health by fighting. Still, one of my favorite games ever. The series really deserved a 16-bit reboot.

It may short but too complex, while the first one was so easy, just like an walking in the park, and knowing to do later. Right here in this second game, just not.
    Nice gameplay dude 👍

      If you liked the first game, you will definitively like ironsword. They are both about as good but i prefer the second game over the first one for a few reasons. One of the few games on the system with a more "american soundtrack". Most of the games sound more japanese, just logical. One of my favorite trick in the game is the tavern owner throwing ale glasses everywhere in the tavern. I also think that the animal guardians have better graphics design than the one in wizards & warriors. You really need to find as a gamer the secret magical & refilling spot to battle the bosses. The angry heads that goes down almost kill you instantly, learn the secret to dodge them and you won't have any problems with those baddies. I am not sure if i will record the third and last game in the series but my guess is: probably. Thanks you for watching and sorry about the late reply.
