First the Minotaur conquered the Castle and wrecked the Forests, bellowing laughter and ruin. Then the Dragon returned to the Mountain, bathing its ancient halls in searing flame. Now behind them both a creature unspoken pulls the strings, orchestrating this world's extinction from a strange darkness…

They've taken everything from you. Now it's time to take them down.

CHOOSE YOUR COMBAT STYLE

Be The Thief, a backstabbing scoundrel who lurks in the shadows and leaps from bushes to strike unwary targets

…The Alchemist, a daydreamer with the skills to craft incredible potions and a penchant for building custom firearms from scavenged parts

…The Ranger, an archer with a heart of gold who raises a trusty Dog companion to fight at their side

…The Wizard, a spell-slinging exile who was too quick with a good Fireball for the Academy's bureaucrats

…The Fighter, a veteran sword-and-steel mercenary who's seen too much bloodshed to let this war crush any more

…The Paladin, a holy monk who swore to strike down evil in its many forms—and who sees a great deal of evil

…or be The Pugilist, a human wrecking ball who lives to find an enemy they can't finish with a fist to the face!

IT'S GOING TO GET MESSY

Between bloodthirsty Bandits, deadly Ogres, vulgar Werewolves, the cruelest Cockatrices, ancient unknown Horrors and much much more… there's so much out there that wants you dead. You can't let them have their way. Cardinal Quest II's many challenges await you!

Thanks Eye.

More information.

They certainly make it sound fun! But I've seen this kind of very simplified roguelike before and it's never as much fun as Helherron. Actually, I don't think anything in this genre is.

I found the hitting sound effect already being extremely annoying in the trailer. Not sure I could endure that for hours.

I got the first one as part of an indie bundle and it was underwhelming. It was very short and the three classes weren't well balanced.

The second one is a massively different game to the first. Probably my favourite game to mess about on casually on iphone (although I never have sound on)

Can't imagine I'd use my limited PC gaming time on it though.

Cardinal Quest 2 demo was really nice. I can only recommend it now in this upgraded full version!

"Can't imagine I'd use my limited PC gaming time on it though."

I agree. Fun enough on my Android, but not for my PC.
