Legends of Amberland II: The Song of Trees (classic western RPG): trailer and details

After Legends of Amberland, Silver Lemur Games are back with a second game, logically called Legends of Amberland II: The Song of Trees. This retro western RPG, inspired by classics such as Might & Magic, Wizardry, Ultima, and the Gold Box series, is coming to the Nintendo Switch courtesy of Pineapple Works (who previously ported the first game).

Here’s a trailer:

In Legends of Amberland II: The Song of Trees, you will get to explore a vast open world in a 1st person view, with over grid movement. The game features turn-based battles AND exploration, with fast travel and quick combat options available. You get to control a party of 7 heroes, which can be either pre-determined or assembled manually when starting the game.

Here’s some details and some screenshots:

Legends of Amberland II: The Song of Trees is a classic western RPG inspired by the games from the 90s like Might & Magic, Wizardry, Ultima, the Gold Box series and others. Using the classic first-person perspective, over grid movement, turn-based system to travel in an open world with fast travel options and a quick combat.

You lead a party of 7 adventurers, manually assembled or pre-made, on an epic adventure to fight the evil which lurks in Amberland. It’s light, fairy tale, epic, heroic and slightly humorous. It does not take tons of hours to complete or require an endless grind to progress. Basically, it’s a love letter from the 90s, the golden era of RPGs.

  • First person perspective, 90 degree rotation, over grid movement (like in the 90s).
  • Turn-based (both combat and exploration).
  • Party-based (7 heroes, either predefined or manually assembled upon new game).
  • Fast paced combat, especially blazing fast against much weaker enemies.
  • Quick travel to reduce backtracking.
  • Easy inventory management with separate personal equipment encumbrance system and an infinite magic bag of carrying for items not equipped at the moment.
  • Open world with a big overworld to explore.
  • Quests (including both main storyline quests and side quests).
  • Rich world lore (spanning between all games of the series, but no knowledge of prior games required).

Legends of Amberland II: The Song of Trees (Switch – eShop) does not have a release date yet.
