What is Guards II: Chaos in Hell?

After a deal with a demon, you lead heroes through Hell in this single-player, 2D strategy game. Across 80 levels in five realms, three heroes attack from the front while a fourth heals in the rear; bringing that hero forward triggers a special ability. You choose from eight heroes and use upgrades, combat stances, and enemy weaknesses to plan your moves.

Not for you if...
