Play it if you…
Good fit- Turn-based strategy players who want a story campaign with 33 scenarios
- Fantasy wargamers who prefer managing armies across varied terrain
- Players who enjoy developing persistent units and accepting losses that remove their experience
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking short, self-contained encounters rather than a campaign with ongoing army development

Our take on Fantasy General II
Rather than treating battles as isolated matches, the game carries unit experience, equipment, and losses across a 33-scenario campaign. Its fantasy setting also replaces conventional military forces with clans, imperial constructs, undead armies, monsters, and magical heroes.
What is Fantasy General II?
Fantasy General II is a turn-based fantasy strategy game built around a 33-scenario campaign.
Command more than 75 unit types, including heroes, while weighing terrain, equipment, magical effects, morale, and relative force strength. Battles feed into a campaign where decisions shape army development: recruits gain experience, units can become champions, and fallen veterans lose their progression. Units have distinct abilities, weapons, and armor, and can receive magic artefacts found during battles or upgrades purchased with plundered gold and resources. The campaign moves through highlands, forests, swamps, river valleys, and imperial lands, requiring changes to tactics and army composition. Factions include the autonomous Clans, the Empire, undead forces, and other creatures. The Hero Edition adds a prequel campaign and digital extras.
