The Maze of Galious

Knightmare 2: Maze of Galious (Majou Densetsu 2: Daimashikyou Galious) is a action-adventure game developed and published by Konami in 1987 for MSX. It is a sequel to Knightmare.

The story takes place right after Popolon rescued Aphrodite: having now defeated the dark overlord Hudnos, both return to their home kingdom of "Greek" - only to find it overrun with demons.

The kingdom had just been taken over by an evil high priest Galious, having tricked Popolon to go after his subordinate who had kidnapped Aphrodite. With Popolon's absence, Galious takes over the Greek Castle, transforming it to a labyrinthian fortress as he plans to overthrow the world in darkness - and even kidnaps Pampas, the yet-to-be-conveived child of the hero couple, right from the heavens itself.

Popolon and Aphrodite now must storm into their former home castle and navigate through it's maze-like depths to defeat nine great demons within before facing the evil high priest, and save their unborn baby.

The gameplay is side-scrolling action with some RPG elements throughout six dungeons inside the castle - making use of both Popolon's & Aphrodite's strengths, and finding items or or even utilizing keyboard commands to complete certain tasks in order to progress. Maze of Galious stays true to its name with its huge and sometimes confusing labyrinth to be explored.
