This title is a role-playing game released in 1992. Set 20 years after the events of its predecessor, Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes, players take on the role of Prince Atlas, embarking on an adventure in Eselhasa following a massive earthquake.

The game retains the top-view movement scenes and command-selection battle system from the previous game. While preserving familiar functions and aesthetics, new features such as a revamped magic system and enhanced enemy graphics have been added, making the game even more engaging.

Though 20 years have passed within the storyline, the geography of Iseruhasa remains mostly unchanged. One of the game’s charms lies in the appearances of beloved characters like Runnan, Sonia, Row, Aron, and Gail I, whose stories continue as players journey across the land. Observing the differences in Eselhasa from the perspectives of Celios in the previous game and Atlas in this one adds an interesting layer to the experience.

The story begins ten years later, just days before the coronation of the now-grown Selios...
