In 1990, Micro Cabin released the action RPG Xak II in Japan, set three years after the battle with Badu from the previous game. The story begins with Latok Kart, who lives with his mother, setting out on a journey to the town of Banuwa after hearing rumors of someone resembling his missing father.

This installment stands out for its emphasis on higher action gameplay compared to its predecessor. While the previous game's attack method relied on body slams, this time, players can swing swords, shoot force shots, and the introduction of jumping adds a sense of depth to the field.

Another noteworthy feature is the new "Karma" parameter. This parameter increases when you defeat monsters, and if it gets too high, it's considered excessive killing, and you won’t gain any experience points. However, there’s a way to reduce karma by visiting a church, so don’t forget to stop by after your adventures.

The "VR System," which was praised in the previous game for its beautiful, deep visuals, is still present. The multi-directional scrolling and visual effects, like clouds drifting across water surfaces, surpass the previous game's achievements. The game also includes features like displaying characters as semi-transparent when they’re hidden behind buildings and more refined parameter displays. Xak II is a meticulously crafted game, recommended for those who want to enjoy high-action gameplay and the well-developed world of Xak.
