Hero's Quest 2

I'm just going to say it straight out: this game is arguably the worst thing I have ever played. I'm sorry I had to be so blunt, but it's true. The lack of effort put forth by the creator is extraordinary and I can honestly say this game has almost no redeemable qualities. If this is ever going to be a decent game, or even a barely passable game, it's going to need a lot of work.
Let's break it down:

Presentation: (Graphics, Music, Difficulty, and the Little Things)
As I mentioned before, this game shows an astounding lack of effort on the part of the creator. I mean, take a look at this title screen.

The title screen is the first thing a person sees when playing a game. It needs to be crisp, sharp, and inviting, not blurry to the point of illegibility.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
To say the graphics clash would be an understatement. The game uses a mixture of RTP and the graphics from Enterbrain's Japan pack, which do not mesh well. It's also worth mentioning that the Japan Pack graphics are included with the game and anybody can rip them from the graphics folder and use them without giving Enterbrain a cent. Last time I checked, that was illegal. PurpleBall might want to take care of that soon.
And then we have the music, or lack thereof. None of the maps I played had a single second of background music; the only things to be "blessed" with generic RTP tunes were the title screen and battles. Not having music in the majority of the game felt strange, and I literally jumped in my chair when a fight kicked in and the battle music came on.
Speaking of fights, they're a joke. If you look up unbalanced in the dictionary, it would have a picture of this game. Your "characters" are absurdly overpowered, items heal the entire party, including the two 2500 point potions you find in the first "dungeon," and battles give incredible amounts of exp. The first battle, which was also a boss fight, shot my characters up two levels each.
Why is dungeon in quotations marks?

That's why.
To say the mapping in this game is bland would be an understatement. Maps are huge, undetailed, and a few seem to be made while under the influence of controlled substances.
Oh, and one last point. The lag in the first "dungeon" is insane. My laptop is only a year old, and it threatened me with suicide when I entered that map. The amount of events on that single map is incredibly, and needlessly, high. If you must have a hundred individual fires on a single map, track down an anti-lag script. Anaryu has an excellent script available for download from this very website.

Story and Characters: (Or Lack Thereof)
Let me make this clear: THERE IS NO STORY.
The basic plot of the game is explained in a single dialog box at the beginning of the game: there's an evil war god named Hiver and your sister killed him, but he's still alive. Then some Captain fellow comes downstairs and tells you to follow him upstairs, where you meet Bland and Blander, who are apparently soldiers in your tiny squad. The best part? Every single one of these characters, including the protagonist, is introduced with a dialog box, a biography, so the creator never has to show you anything, only tell you about each character and leave it at that. Hero's Quest 2 falls victim to the most basic writing error of all-time within ten seconds of gameplay.
And the story? Oh, don't get me started on the story. Your little squad is on the way to kill some barbarians, who never show up, and a mage named Bennet, whose sole line when joining your party is "come on," has to tag along. You're too late to save the village, but end up fighting a Hooded Man From Nowhere, who may have been a Giant Space Flea in disguise, and teleport away to meet the king. Upon meeting the king, he asks you how things went, and Bennet zaps him with lightning. No, really. The king asks you how things went, Bennet says "It, is time," and all of a sudden lighting and betrayal and laughable spam-attack boss fight. The king's sole line after you save him from this assassin is "Amazing!" Then he orders you to escort his invisible son to a town and I quit the game because I was laughing too hard over "It, is time."
Story/Characters: 0/5
Systems:
There's really not much to say here.
KGC's parameter system makes an utterly useless appearance that adds nothing to the game, you are, strangely enough, only allowed three party members at a time, and there's a completely unnecessary caterpillar system. Save points are almost nonexistent, not that it matters considering how easy battles go. The sole redeemed quality here is that save points fully heal your party, which is nice, as items are rare and shops rarer still, and there's a surprisingly decent tutorial on saving for the first time.
Systems: .5/5
The Verdict:
King's Quest 2 is a boring, bland, WTF-inducing game with no characters, poorly executed story, and laughable difficulty.
This could one day be passable, but a lot of work needs to be sunk in here before anything remotely enjoyable emerges.
Final Score: (Not an Average)
.5/5
To Purpleball:
Play more RM games and work on your mapping. It needs help. A lot of it. Consider typing dialog in Word or a similar program before putting it in game and try to eliminate needless added systems. Finally, have people play-test your game. Not your family, not your friends, but people who won't be afraid to criticize. I'm sorry if I came across too harsh, and I hope you can some day improve this game and make it enjoyable.
