Beyond the Ice Palace 2 Review - A Flawed But Fascinating Retro Revival

Beyond the Ice Palace 2 Review Details The Brutal Combat Dark Fantasy Atmosphere and Platforming Flaws

Bringing back a forgotten intellectual property from the glory days of the 1980s is a very risky task. Over 20 years after the original being released in 1988 for the Commodore 64, the STORYBIRD Studio has launched Beyond the Ice Palace 2. Instead of just trying to imitate the olden days, this one strives to combine classic, brutal 2D action with contemporary, adventurous gameplay. The result is a charmingly dark world with a proven track record for battles and atmosphere, albeit one that stumbles over its traversal time and again.
