2Lord of the Sword has you playing as an adventurer who has to pass three tests in order to save his land. You are equipped with a sword and a bow to fight enemies. People will help you in the towns and there are multiple branching paths from many of the areas. Sadly, it has you pressing up to jump in the game. Using an entire button for arrows when they feel artificially limited is such a waste. There's no save system and you'll need ot map out the world to know where to go. You also need to talk to everyone multiple times. It generally lacks polish for such an ambitious game.
