About the game

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.

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.
