Viewed from an overhead perspective, players armed with various weapons travel the landscape and battle kobolds, orcs and other blood hungry miscreants. There's an area in the early going where the the environment is completely dark and you'll have to clear the location of orcs who attack en masse with arrows, rush at you and do the old gang up attack.

Once the area of orcs is cleared, players will go deep into orc caverns to rescue a number of prisoners before progressing further into the game. Baldur's Gate 2 offers yet another satisying yet mindless adventure game where hack 'n slash is the order of the day.
