Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp is the Sequel to the original Dragon's Lair...and succeeds at that! Dragon's Lair II works just like the first one, where you have to make the right choice at the right time without messing up. What Dragon's Lair II does better than the first one, though, are the Stages. This time, there are only about 8 stages which are all connected. These are MASSIVE. Don Bluth had more time with the Stages and was able to be more creative, as now Dirk has to go to different timezones to collect treasures with the help of an speaking time machine. If that doesn't sound crazy enough, the Stages are even more crazy, with having to make a move seemingly every second, as there is a lot of stuff happening. Luckily, Don Bluth always highlighted most of the moves you were required to do, and many that weren't were obvious. A Stage alone could take 10 minutes to beat, as the setpieces are huge. Speaking of setpieces, these are:
The Dragon's Lair (with Singe's skeleton being in the background, cool detail), the first encounter with Mordrock, Daphne's new kidnapper and the original owner of the Castle, Alice in Wonderland (which is somehow a time period and is very reminicent of Disney's Alice in Wonderland), Garden Eden (Adam and Eve are even in it, just not biblically accurate), Giant Beethoven (once again, how is this a time period?) Ancient Egypt and last but not least: the Final Stage with Mordrock. There was also a Pirate Stage planned but got canned. You can even see a Pirate flag when Dirk gives all the collected treasure to his kids (he has like 10 of them, truly a busy man Dirk must be) which is clearly a leftover.
Yeah, really. When I said this game's stages were massive, I meant it! The Animation once again is done by Don Bluth and is a clear step-up from the original. It's more detailed and impressive, showing how just great of an Animator Don Bluth truly is.
Even though the Gameplay stayed the same, there is a new mechanic: the treasure! Treasure is collected in each stage, which is required to progress to the final stage. This got dumped in the Home Computer ports of Dragon's Lair II (which are not worth checking out). Back to the treasure: There are about 11 treasure pieces to collect throughout the stages. These are: an Arrow, a Bow, a Key (another reference to the first Dragon's Lair as it is the Key Singe wears around his neck), an Egg, an Ace, an Hammer, a Butterfly, two golden Apples and an Hourglass. Whenever the player didn't collect all the treasure, he has to start over again and try to collect all the treasure once more. The Steam Port, however, will save the treasure you already collected and will only require you to collect the treasure you missed. It's an interesting mechanic that isn't immidately known, as the treasure is easy to miss on a first playthrough.
Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp was really succesful at the time of it's release, being the Nr. 1 Arcade Game in November of 1991. The first Dragon's Lair released 1983. That was 8 Years after the first Dragon's Lair Game! Not surprising considering of the huge setpieces, Don Bluth's beautiful Animation and improved gameplay, which makes Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp worthy of an try if you enjoyed the first one. Don Bluth nailed it once again.
Recommend
Pros:
- As with the first game, it has a great art style with a lot of personality.
Cons:
[*]Gameplay is similar to the original (which honestly wasn't super great), but they made it drastically harder, and very obtuse when it comes to actually getting to the game ending.
The game is overlooked by the first game but its still a masterpiece i highly recommend this game.
This game ate so many arcade quarters, yes it kinda loses something not being in an arcade cabinet, it is sort of the original fmv dvd game, but it is such beautiful Disney style classic animation. If you can, buying a table top style arcade contoller definitely helps versus using a modern controller or keyboard.
Worlds longest qte. I really liked the part where 75 percent in the game informed me about the mandatory hidden items and was sent back to the beginning. I also really enjoyed replaying the same part over and over for ten minutes.
Ah Dragon's Lair 2!
Even better than Dragon's Lair in its scenario and of course voice actor (The two snakes are just marvelous)
As always high quality animations from Bluth and Goldman, only positive comments in these points.
However the difficulty level of the game was highly diminished mostly because of the numerous choices that a well designed story can suggest rather than a linear dungeon from the first DL. You can finish the game in 15 minutes without the helper.
But anyway still a great game and a great classic, can't wait to see the Netflix movie coming this year!
this game is a wonder we control the anime like if we control for real the character
the concept is incredible and the graphism are wonderfull
i would love to see more than the 3 games
i love this game my favorites of the serie but i love too the two others
the game creators of this game has created the first and last anime games we can control
or i miseed games
i recommand a lot
this is a wonder if you like anime
the only bad thing is when we finish such wonder we would love to have more but nobody suuceed to create more than this serie of three incredible anime games
Too fast. you either follow the move guide or the screen. The original was at least paced so you could follow both.
Dragon's Lair 2 is a great experience. It's not like most games these days, but I still enjoyed playing it a lot when I used to play it as a kid.
The version I played back then was a cheap port to the PC and even that version was like heaven when compared to this piece of trash.
Pros:
+ It has high resolution video
+ DL2 is just a fun game to play / unique experience to be had on it's own
+ The featured animation of the cut pirate stage was a nice addition
Cons:
- The "director's cut" is a joke. Literally all they did was cut the final boss from the game, making it anticlimactic and far less fun to play.
- The game straight up doesn't work with keyboard controls. You have to use a controller, because for some reason it only picks up every 10th key-stroke.
- The game doesn't save properly (most of the time you can't restore a game anymore and it doesn't remember your settings).
- The Settings can not be changed mid game.
- The game crashed on me a couple of times.
- The user interface sometimes works.
- The game is way overpriced, even when it's on sale for 5€.
- There are way too few achievements.
- There is no way to turn off the movement-guide overlay, even when movement guiding is turned off.
From a programming standpoint, making a game like this is as easy as it gets. And I have no idea how they even managed to screw this up so bad.
If this is version 2.0.0, I don't want to know what 1.0 was like.
Like Space Ace and the first Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair 2 has the same quick-time event-style gameplay, so if you've enjoyed your time with the other two games, this one should be an easy buy as well. The same fantastic animation by Don Bluth is present in this game as well, and it's still just as much fun to watch everything, even the deaths.
That said, there's a lot of things that improve the game compared to its predecessors as well. The flashing lights are always present to tell you which action to take, rather than only sometimes, so a lot of the frustration when playing without a move guide is gone. One could argue this frustration is replaced with having to find secret treasures throughout the game or else repeat the whole story again, but most of them are relatively easy to see, and the game is pretty generous with telling you where they are with the flashing lights. There is also a lot more generosity in the timing of the action prompts: mashing the buttons until an action is taken seems to actually work in this one compared to the stricter timing in the first Dragon's Lair. Finally, the new locations are incredibly diverse and interesting, ranging from standard time travel locations like Prehistoric Times and ancient Egypt to more out there locations like the Garden of Eden or during a piano performance by Beethoven.
Like all other games in the Dragon's Lair Trilogy, however, this game is incredibly short if one knows what they're doing. Ultimately, it comes down to how much you like the gameplay and animation of these types of games. Personally, I'd recommend them due to my own enjoyment with them, even if I've never played them before. There really aren't many games like these, and I think the uniqueness and charm of the experience alone is worth the sale price.
So nice to be able to play a game that I was never able to beat in the arcade before it disappeared. Spent far less buying it on Steam at this time than I probably spent in the arcade. Some of the interactions are touchy in places, but all are manageable. I know it isn't for everyone, but it was a nice piece of nostalgia for me.
Dragon's Lair 2 is even harder that the first game due to the fact you have to collect hidden item which is pretty annoying on some level. Its a decent follow up for the first Dragon's Lair, but offer nothing more then harder gameplay, but still there is a easy game mode allowed.
Pros
- Even hardcore gameplay
- Great Art
Cons
- Poor voice acting
- Annoying quicktime events
Much like Space Ace, this port of Dragon's Lair 2 is the same as the port of the first game, but without any of the special features, making it not really worth the ten bucks.
Dragon's Lair 2 is longer than its predeccessors, and yet much less coherent. Its just weird. The plot follows Dirk (still a silent doofus) trying to rescue Daphne (still an over-sexualized caricature) from an evil wizard, who wants to put a cursed wedding ring on her finger that will turn her into a monster. He does so by stealing a futuristic time machine (that speaks with the voice of a stuffy old English guy) from a Scottish snake and using it to pursue the wizard (who is the time machine's brother!?) to other lands such as the Garden of Eden (occupied by fat campy angels and an aggressive, obese Eve) and Alice's Wonderland (which manages to be weirder than you'd expect). Its downright trippy.
The individual scenes are much longer here than in previous games, meaning if you screw up you better be prepared to play back through the whole five-minute sequence again. It does a better job of telegraphing what buttons to push and when than its predeccessors, though, making the little button prompts at the bottom of the screen obsolete, especially as they can lead you astray if you're following them blindly.
This is because the game has a whole "treasure" mechanic, where there are several treasures hidden in each scene that you must collect to be able to access the game's ending. If you reach the last scene without all the treasures, it makes you start all over again. They're a nightmare to find without help and the button prompts never prompt you to grab them. I ended up just doing the "watch the game" option so I could see how it ended without having to replay the whole thing over twelve times. Not a great mechanic.
A decent game, where you go through quick time events to save a princess.
The game looks pretty good, like the other games in the series.
However, it falls in the same pitfalls as the other Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. The game is short, and QTEs isn't the best gameplay. This game has more gameplay than the others, as you have to collect these treasures to beat the game, but that just makes you press a different direction during the game. Still pretty fun though.
This is the ultimate game of the Dragon's Lair "Trilogy". Now remastered and looking better than ever!
This game learns from Space Ace and Dragon's Lair and makes the most polished interactive cartoon you'll ever see.
I'm especially a fan of the option to watch the entire cartoon in one uninterupted burst. Some stages need a checkpoint, because you are expected to make 20-30 correct button presses w/o an error, but it's really not that hard. There is a telegraph for every move (even if sometimes it's a little hidden) and you can have big on screen arrows blatantly tell you what needs to be pressed if you still can't get it. This feature was needed more in Dragon's Lair or Space Ace, where there were quite a few areas that you had to figure out.
They also redid the achievemtns remove one requiring you to play perfectly through over half of the game. Now it's much more reasonable and actually pretty fun.
Dragons Lair 2: Time Warp plays much like the first game, except this time it is more difficult. This game should only be bought to complement the first Dragon's Lair with after you finished the first game. DL2 is honestly more frustrating thanks to needing to find all of the hidden treasures to access the last level and checkpoints being spaced out by entire levels. It is a harsh experience for those learning how to get through each part without hints on, and the repeated dialogue you hear may drive you insane. It doesn't really improve from it's predecessor in any particular way and is more or less the same way of playing except harder. Despite flashes that do give you a general hint on what you should do, there will still be a good handful of times where you are conflicted between two directions it could be, guess wrong, then have to replay the whole level again. It is in my opinion a little worse overall compared to the first game. Only get this if you must have part two of Dragon's Lair after completing the first game and don't mind an additional challenge.
NOTE: Scroll down for summary and rating
If you haven't played Dragon's Lair 2, or any of the Don Bluth games in general, imagine a cartoon animation fused with Geometry Dash. Highly difficult, fast reactions, trial and error, and memory. Dragon's Lair 2 is a challenging full motion video game where you must push the arrow keys and space bar at the right moment.
The story continues from the first Dragon's Lair. After the protagonist Dirk the Daring freed Princess Daphnie from the dark magic of the Dragon's Lair, she gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Mordoc, and must use a time machine, which is oddly the nicer brother of Mordoc and talks. He must travel through different time zones and worlds to save Daphnie once again.
In gameplay, your mission is to push a button according to where a yellow flashing light appears. You have less than a second to react. The button depends on which direction it is from Dirk, the player character, or if Dirk's sword is flashing. If so, use the space bar. For experience, I too found the game pretty challenging. One death and you start over a level. Major levels are about a minute long each, the first level has two checkpoints, and the last two are pretty short. I ALWAYS play without a move guide for the most thrilling game experience. Just like what Nostalgia Critic stated in his review of Dragon's Lair, it's cheating! Without the guide, reaction times are quite slim. However, if you replay some levels and get used to the moves, it shouldn't be that stressful, especially if you are forced to replay the whole game if it tells you you missed a special "Treasure", which brings us to the next feature. Each level has at least one treasure item that flashes with the next move. Collect them all to enter the level were you fight Mordoc. There are also two modes called "Original" and "Director's Cut". In Original, you HAVE to collect all treasures to proceed to the Mordoc fight. In Director's Cut, the treasures are not required, but grants an alternate, easier Mordoc fight when they are all collected. One last thing about level gameplay, most of the levels have a chance to be mirrored, making it harder and disorienting if you played the level before.
For presentation, Don Bluth directed and animated the FMV for this game. Bluth was the legendary animator for some of our favorite nostalgic movies like Land Before Time and An American Tail, and he was called down to do a series of games by Digital Leisure, like this one! The level concepts are really clever and creative. Seeing how Dirk travels through different time zones, there are typical eras like the Prehistoric Times fighting flying creatures. There are even crazier-looking levels like the one where Dirk slides "Through the Looking Glass" into Wonderland! This is one of the most innovative video games I have played, and love it. This is why I like replaying this game. I'm not only watching an animation, I'm playing it!
To conclude, the game is okay. The appearance is outstanding and really takes me back to when I saw "All Dogs Go to Heaven" and "Bartok the Magnificent" as a kid, which were other movies he did by the way. But I do think it should be longer, or the price lower, speaking of price, I purchased this on sale and so should you, my opinion. Bluth is also trying to get back to animation and developing a Dragon's Lair movie. I sure hope he does it!
I rate this game 8/10. To summarize: Great animation, innovative gameplay, creative concepts, but a bit too high for price and a bit too short for length.
Unlike the first game, this game is made more frustrating by all the unnecessary hoops set up. You'll be asked repeatedly to retry 3min long button sequences and if you screw up, you have to start all over again from the beginning. This is not fun. Dragon's Lair and Space Ace are the better games to go for. Dragon's Lair 2 leaves you feeling cheated most of the time, which will frustrate you. One example, is when you progress through half or more of the entire game, only to be notified you missed one fo the bonus treasures. So now you have to start ALL THE WAY FROM THE BEGINNING of the game because you missed hidden button presses. That's complete bull**it.
It's fun for the novelty, but if you want a fun experience, avoid this and stick to Dragon's Lair or Space Ace.
How could you not love Don Bluth games from the golden age of gaming.
No substiture for the original but enjoyable all the same.
Get it when its on sale.
Jacko Rating
7/10
Dragon's Lair 2 may not be the most challenging sequel I have ever played but it's still a very charming game if you like Don Bluth's animations & to me it's a very underrated game.
Pros:
1. Don Bluth as usual has beautiful art
2. New areas to play on like Eden's Garden for example
3. Good voice acting
4. New bad guys to fight
Cons:
1. Not as hard as the original Dragon's Lair
2. Pointless item collecting just to reach the last level
3. unlimited lives
4. The game forces you to restart the entire level again if you fuck up (In the original if you fuck up you lose 1 life & you restart at the checkpoint not the entire level but if you lose 2 more lives it's game over)
Overall this sequel was only average but I enjoyed my time with it but if your really nit picky about the price then I suggest waiting for a sale if your curious about it. (If I missed anything please feel free to leave feedback)
The ambitious sequel to the innovative arcade game by Don Bluth and his team. The squeaky eye-candy princess Daphne has been kidnapped by the evil Mordroc, who apparently wants to marry her for some unknown reason. While the entire first game took place in the castle, in this one, you travel through 6 different timelines by using a unique flying time machine.
Another change is this game plays more like an interactive movie; inputing the correct commands to progress through the level as it goes. I am not entirely sure what the difficulty was on the first game, but this one is pretty difficult, especially when you turn off the move guides which serve as the game's training wheels. Then you have to solely rely on the yellow flashes to figure out what direction to go or when to use your sword. To make matters worse, except in the first level, if you mess up, you will restart to the beginning of the level. So you'll need good memorization skills in order to succeed, especially when turning off the move guide to get two achievements.
There are also treasures hidden in each level, which flash yellow when you're nearby. Input the correct direction to obtain the item. You have to collect all the treasures before reaching the final level or else the game will make you restart at the level(s) where you missed them. So overall, this game is a big step-up from the first one; the animation is improved in glorious Don Bluth style, the levels are distinctive to each other, and an increase in difficulty. If you played Dragon's Lair or any laser disc arcade game before, or you are a fan of Don Bluth movies (like me), or you just want a challange, I highly recommend this game.
The Don Bluth series of games is now complete with Dragon's Lair II. Not as well known as it's predecessor or Space Ace, yet is every bit as good. I remember the coin-op being significantly easier than the original Dragon's Lair, thanks to a lot of visual clues as to where and when to move or use your sword... and i mean much more obvious clue than there usually were in the first game, mostly flashing sections a-la Ye Boulderss, Ye Rapids. If you were a fan of the original Dragon's Lair then you simply MUST buy this, regardless of whether you played Dragon's Lair II as a coin-op or not...
