Description

Guards II is a tactical turn-based strategy game with seemingly simple rules but deep and thoughtful mechanics. To attack, you only need to swap two heroes — but don’t be fooled, as the devil is in the details: every decision can determine the outcome of the battle.

Add Guards II to your Wishlist and share it with friends — the Hell awaits!

 

You’ve made a deal with a demon and now venture into the very heart of Hell. Traverse five otherworldly realms filled with terrifying creatures. Eight heroes, each with their unique abilities, will help you break through countless hordes and establish order in a world of chaos.

 

What Awaits You in Guards II: Chaos in Hell?

 

  • An original turn-based combat system — think ahead and exploit enemy weaknesses.  
  • Eight unique heroes — upgrade their abilities and create the perfect squad.  
  • A flexible skill system — combine upgrades and adapt to changing conditions.  
  • Five realms of Hell — each with its own horrors and deadly creatures.  
  • 80 thrilling levels — from simple skirmishes to true challenges.  
  • Hell Mode — 80 more levels of nightmare with new enemies and increased difficulty.

 

SIMPLE RULES, DEEP STRATEGY

 

You control a squad of four heroes, each with their own characteristics:

 

  • Attack Type — Physical, Fire, Magic, or Deadly.
  • Resistance — each hero has a defense against a specific type of damage and a weakness to others.
  • Attack Methods — normal strikes, powerful super abilities, and two stances.

 

Each turn requires just one action — swap two heroes. But behind this simple mechanic lies complex tactical depth:  

 

  • Hero Rearrangement — three heroes on the front line attack while the fourth in the back recovers health.
  • Ultimate Abilities — when a hero comes from the back line, they unleash a powerful ability to crush the enemy.
  • Tactical Combinations — select your squad and alternate attacks to exploit enemy weaknesses.

 

Each hero wields two combat stances, changing their playstyle. For example: 

 

  • Wizard — in his normal form, uses magic orbs for attacks, and his super ability enhances his power.
  • Fire Wizard — when switched, can attack any enemy with fire, and his super ability summons three meteors to incinerate foes on every line!

 

Utilize different stances, combine abilities, and choose the right tactics to achieve victory over the forces of darkness.

 

DEVELOP HEROES, CHANGE TACTICS

 

Each hero has a unique upgrade tree with over 30 possibilities. Decide which skills to prioritize and create your ideal strategy!  

 

  • Customize your playstyle — enhance attack, defense, or unique hero abilities.  
  • Choose a development path — experiment with different builds to adapt to enemies.

 

Demonic essence — defeat enemies and earn temporary boosts before the next battle. Use them wisely to prepare for the toughest challenges.

 

Extended skill system that enhances tactical possibilities and allows for a personalized playstyle. Change stances once per turn, boost resistances with the Spirit Helper, or unlock new tactical options.

 

JOURNEY THROUGH LEGENDS AND NIGHTMARES

 

The worlds of Guards II: Chaos in Hell are inspired by dark myths and legends from cultures around the globe. You will traverse five unique circles of Hell, each presenting a new challenge:

 

  • Egyptian Hell — Deserts filled with reanimated mummies, venomous scorpions, and snakes.  
  • Japanese Hell — Malevolent yokai and other vengeful spirits thirsting for revenge.  
  • Scandinavian Hell — A frozen wasteland where northern spirits and an army of dead warriors follow closely behind.  
  • Slavic Forest — An enchanted thicket with animated tree stumps, leshys, and the infamous Baba Yaga, flying in her mortar.  
  • Classic Hell — Where the approaches to the Devil’s throne are guarded by demons and fiends.

 

 

Dive into this grim world, explore mythological horrors, and prove that even Hell itself can be conquered!

90s era Plants vs Zombies

It's a turn-based static tower defense (ala Plants vs Zombies) where enemies come from one side and your units are on the other sitting still attacking them when they come into range. The gimmick is that the turn only ends when you either switch out a hero or move them along the back column so they constantly need to be switching placing. NOTE: I ONLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME IF YOU SWITCH TO EASY FOR THE LAST FEW LEVELS OF EACH AREA. Unless you like wasting an hour+ run just to realize you didn't have the right heroes/talents/rng. This really gives off a feel of a 90s era game. Like an old Might and Magic with it's large sort of chunky but detailed pixel art. In fact a lot about this game feels retro and not just the art. The music, plot, and even simplistic game loop all feel pretty old-school. Of course, if you are on this site, you'd probably feel that it's not necessarily a bad thing, even if it's survivorship bias. Anyway, as I hinted, there's some major flaws though, with the main one being that it gets WAY too long for this kind of game. At the start, you only need to kill a half dozen enemies and that's it. Then you need to repeat that for 2 stages. Then 3. Then ALL the way to SEVEN. With increasing number of enemies, hp, and general difficulty. The latter stages in an area easily can take an hour+ on the harder difficulties. (PS. you only need to wait for some of the animations to complete to make your next move) Additionally, it has plenty of "traps". Where if you didn't bring a certain hero or 2, oops. Might as well start over as you'll not going to be killing enemies. And most of the time you don't discover this til 75% into the level. This game really HURTS you in the fact that you have more and more choices to make your characters. Also, you can make your game basically unwinnable (at least on hard/hell) cause guess what - you can't change your talents. Until like half way through the game - after stage 3 as an unlock. WHY? There's some other minor issues - music often glitch out, not always clear what the talents do, sometimes gets stuck and not finish a turn - luckily could use save and exit to clear it out. Still overall, a decent game just... one that needs patience. More than I have to do it "properly".

Where are my earned resources?

I had difficulty to progress after solving all challanges up to the end of the 2nd area, and it turned out the game does not give you the resources you earned. Even just from the challenges I was to have 5 feathers (skill points), but I still only had 4. Defunct product, uninstalled.
