The events of Icewind Dale 2 are transferred to the expanses of the Icewind Dale, which is northwest of the Forgotten Realms. The second part starts 30 years after the story that happened in the predecessor. The North with the Ten Settlements is again in danger - the territories are attacked by monsters. Here they added hero classes - Mage, Barbarian, Monk, as well as races - Half-orcs and Drow, spells, and the game itself was created on an updated version of the Infinity Engine.The heroes gather to go to the Icewind Valley and help the Ten Cities in battles with evil spirits - goblins, orcs, who attacked them. Bremen was taken, the defense of other towns is weakening. The characters start from Targos, where they participate in its defense. Soon, the mercenaries realize that there is something more behind the attack - the invader attacked all the cities at the same time. The gamer takes under the control a group of mercenaries, in the amount of one to six characters, each of which selects a race, gender, name, appearance, skills, abilities. Races have their positive and negative features, for example, Halflings are extremely agile, and Drow go blind in the sun. Class determines certain skills that are pumped up in the process. Character affects the manner of communication with other characters.Among the abilities there are standard ones - intelligence, strength, constitution, agility, charisma and wisdom. Skills determine special talents, for example, Alchemy, Diplomacy, Disarming traps. In the process of killing opponents, completing tasks, the whole company gains experience to increase the level. Gameplaywise, the game is hack’n’slash, but here there is not only standard slaughter, but also the presence of spells. Fighters are located in the most advantageous positions, which the player does before the battle in pause mode. Here a large role is given to tactics, for example, it is necessary to place magicians advantageously so that they create spells, but are under the cover of warriors.
