Ancients 2: Approaching Evil

Ancients 2: Approaching Evil is the sequel to Ancients 1: Deathwatch.

Although players can choose to import their party from the first game, the sequel has a new storyline that is not explicitly linked to the original. An opening animation shows members of the 'Lockshire Council' discussing an evil that is escaping from a series of catacombs, after an ancient seal formerly containing the evil has become broken. A member of the council explains that he knows of a party that he believes can repair the seal, and summons them to the new city. The seal will only become restored when four special objects are recovered and brought to the entrance of the catacombs.

Unlike the original, Approaching Evil was not shareware and was sold commercially.
