->'''Since Shadowgate found most of its success due to its NES incarnation, it made sense that it would stay in the console realm for its sequel. What didn't quite make sense is how ICOM ended up producing the game for the UsefulNotes/TurboGrafx16, a system with not only low market penetration, but very few non-Japanese developed titles. (ICOM developed a few other games for the system, mostly notably the sidescroller Shape Shifter and the embarrassingly '90s skater action game Yo, Bro.)'''

Generations after the events of the original ''VideoGame/{{Shadowgate}}'', Prince Erik returns to the kingdom where Belezaar has him falsely accused of {{Patricide}} and scheduled for execution in the morning. However, Erik manages to escape and must clear both his name and save the land from the Warlock Lord once again.

This game has since been ignored by future works such as ''Shadowgate 64'' and a teaser feature featured in a remake of the first game.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Belezaar murdered the king and framed his son, then attempted to sacrifice Elizabeth to the Warlock Lord. However, the Warlock Lord kills him first and nobody pities him]].
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Belezaar gets killed, the Warlock Lord is defeated, both Erik and his sister rule over the kingdom as the rightful rulers, and Lakmir sealed away Castle Shadwgate forever to ensure the Warlock Lord does not return, but King Aronde was murdered prior to the game and passed onto the afterlife]].
* CanonDiscontinuity: ''64'' completely disregards ''Beyond'', probably because so few people would have been able to play it in the first place. [[spoiler:The teaser for the 2016 release ''Beyond Shadowgate'' seems to follow suit.]]
* DamselInDistress: [[Belezaar kidnaps Princess Elizabeth and intends to sacrifice her to the Warlock Lord]].
* DistressedDude: Lakmir was taken captive so he does not interfere with the return of the Warlock Lord.
* EatenAlive: [[spoiler:Choosing poorly will lead to the Warlock Lord eating off the upper half of Prince Erik's body]].
* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:Belezaar brings back the Warlock Lord to bring forth humanity to the slaughter, but the lord kills him on the spot as soon as he returns]].
* FrameUp: Belezaar frames Prince Erik for the murder of his father in an attempt to prevent his interference with the return of the Warlock Lord.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe:[[Should the player choose poorly when fighing the Warlock Lord, he will chomp off the upper half of Erik's body]].
* HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler:The moment Belezaar brings back the Warlock Lord, the latter kills him and proceeds to antagonize the prince and princess afterwards]].
* {{Sadist}}: [[spoiler:The Warlock Lord relishes in the fear of the captive Princess Elizabeth as he intends to devour her and her brother]].
