For year 2003, I am quite impressed with the visuals in case of spells, their animations and special effects are just so pretty to look at.

18 of 179 sampled reviews raised it
When it comes to voice acting and voice direction, there are some bad moments, but also gleaming highlights that are performed really well, and make me feel a bit sad that I can not find an extensive list of voice actors assigned to their roles.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
16 of 179 sampled reviews raised it
Combat remains the centerpiece, and it’s here that Etherlords II truly excels.
