Lost Kingdoms II is a card-based action role-playing game where battles are fought in real-time.

The heroine of this story is Tara Grimface, a reserved member of a guild of thieves, who is trying to find her way in a dangerous world.

While she is an outcast even among her allies, they respect and fear her because she possesses a True Runestone that allows Tara to use powerful magic cards in battle.

Tara becomes embroiled in events that will eventually shape the lands around her as she travels with the Band of the Scorpion on a mission to steal the runestones crafted in the caverns of Kendaria.

A notable interface addition is the ability to pay double the cost for any card in exchange for enhanced effect.
