About this 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.
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!
