He eventually crashes in the mountains of Citadel Island, where he is attacked by an Esmerian soldier, after defeating him and making his way into the city he finds out that the Esmers have taken over the planet and have imposed martial law. After tricking one of the guards with the help of another prisoner, Twinsen manages to escape imprisonment and escapes the planet in one of the ships. Once Twinsen lands in Zeelich, the invitation proves to be a trap and he is arrested on the landing port. After graduating as a wizard, Twinsen is informed by his master of the possible plot of the Esmers and is sent to investigate their planet by accepting their invitation to all Wizards. The Esmers use their army to secretly capture Twinsun's children and openly invite the wizards to their planet (which is revealed later to be a trap to capture them).

After the storm, alien creatures, who call themselves Esmers, land on the planet, under a false diplomatic guise and Twinsen begins training under the Wizard's School after hearing of missing children in the planet. He aids Bersimon, the island's weather wizard, resulting in the clouds disappearing. Twinsen seeks help from Ker'aooc, a healing wizard, who lives on Desert Island.

The Dino-Fly is struck by lightning and crashes in Twinsen and Zoé's garden. Certain locations in the game are initially blocked from the player until they progress to a certain stage.Īfter Twinsen defeated FunFrock, Twinsun was peaceful, until a sudden storm covered Citadel Island. The game's gameplay is partially free-roaming, allowing the player to travel around the islands once they have been "unlocked" by completing certain objectives there are also many tasks which are optional or non-linear.

It combines several action game/arcade sequences and some elements from the role-playing game genre. Like its predecessor, LBA 2 is real-time adventure. Essentially every character in the game is interactive and will respond differently when Twinsen speaks to them. The LBA world is considered extremely large and varied for games of its time. All text in the game is spoken by the characters. After completion of certain tasks the player is presented with a full motion video sequence. Unlike LBA, it is possible to save the game at any point. The interior game field is divided in scenes (a small block of the game that is active).

All characters and vehicles are 3D polygon-based objects, allowing for full rotation and movement abilities. LBA 2 has two viewing modes - for outdoor scenes a 3D perspective view is used, and for indoor scenes it uses a 3D isometric perspective (the game field is rotated 45 degrees).
