In the coming months, Gameloft will release the sequel to its critically praised hack and slash adventure game, Hero of Sparta. Though no release date has been set, Hero of Sparta 2 has been confirmed for both the iPhone and iPad. In Hero of Sparta 2, the plot follows Argos after his journey home to his beloved homeland. A vengeful Hades has cursed the Spartan and so he finds that everything that he has known and loved has been destroyed. Now, to seek revenge and lift the curse, Argos will once again have to draw swords and slaughter many Grecian mythological beasts and demons.

By the look of the early build of the game, the game looks to play similarly to the original. The graphics on the iPhone looked similar to its predecessor, with maybe a slight improvement in the details of the characters. Once again, quicktime events factor heavily into performing finishing moves on particularly tough beasts. In the demo, I grabbed a demon carrying a particularly large sword and impaled him repeatedly with my own very large sword.
