Two Worlds III

From the beginning players can customize the appearance of the protagonist such as shape of face and body, and skin colour. As is common in role-playing games, the player's character will level up by gaining experience points through completion of quests and defeating enemies. Much of the in-game world can be fully explored from the beginning, regardless of how much the player has progressed through the main story arc. Despite being non-linear, many areas of the land are populated by strong foes with higher levels than that of the player initially and as a result, players may want to explore them once their character has improved.

While players will travel across much of the landscape on foot, they are soon given the option to ride on horseback and even later, a chance to man the helm of a boat to sail across the seas between islands. In addition players can also fast travel using magical teleportation fixtures found across the map.

Gandohar has managed to name himself Emperor of Antaloor. The power of the hero is finally exhausted, and he and his sister Kyra are taken prisoner. Everything changes when he is saved by a group of orcs on orders of their prophet, and the prophet seems to know why the hero can get to Gandohar.

The game begins in Castle Vakhmaar, with the hero and Kyra in Gandohar's captivity. Gandohar utilises the Hero's lifeforce to sustain Kyra, who is revealed to be the host of Aziraal, God of Fire and Destruction. The hero is rescued by a group of orcs, the mysterious masked rogue Dar Pha, the archer Nortar, the mague Ghortarius and warrior Rogdor, who is confronted by Sordahon, Gandohar's right hand man, responsible for the destruction of the orc army at Oswaroth prior to the game's events. Rogdor kills Sordahon, and the group escape via a portal to Alsorna, a small island off the coast of Elkronas, the main continent of Antaloor.

By February 2011, units sold exceeded 2 million.

Upon its release, Two Worlds II received a generally favorable reception, particularly in comparison to its predecessor. One of the most praised aspects of the gameplay was directed towards the crafting system, many critics noting its simplicity yet variety and depth with Al Bickham of Eurogamer commenting that "absolutely everything is worth looting, as the game's superb crafting systems enable you to repurpose every piece of trash in your backpack to useful ends". The spell casting aspect of this was particularly highlighted with GameTrailers calling it "more involved" than the other skills, stating that "there's a great deal to the magic system in Two Worlds II, so if you choose to specialize in spellcraft, expect to be rewarded". This view was echoed by Kevin VanOrd from GameSpot who called it "fun [and] flexible".
