Unlike other RPGs, your characters can die, permanently.

This is important because of the Life Point system. You have a party of characters during each generation as you develop Avalon and fight off against the Demonic Seven, and you have Avalon, which has a set amount of funds that you can dedicate to researching different aspects of skills, magic, and gear to help you as you fight off monsters and enemies. When you are going through the game, there is a lot to think about.

When you begin the game, you are given the option of playing the game in its vanilla format from the 90s or with Additional Content, which includes an Auto-Save Feature, and extra post-game content not found in its original release. Over the course of the game, you will be exploring dungeons and fighting off enemies, but also managing the funds your kingdom has and what advancements you an make using those funds.įirst of all, this is an enhanced port of the original, or a remake to some. Romancing SaGa 2 is a turn-based RPG with some light Town Sim elements thrown into the mix. The Seven Heroes appear after long time-frames, each challenges by the different heirs of the Throne of Avalon, giving you several different parties of characters to see continuing to maintain the kingdom, along with the fact that you can choose different heirs for different time periods, having branching story paths that aren’t always the same each time you play through the game. The thing that makes this game’s plot unique is its use of Generations. You must fight them off as they appear, from generation to generation, to protect the world from their Evil.

You play as the ruler of the kingdom of Avalon in a world where the Seven Heroes do, indeed, return, but resurrected as Demons, bent on World Conquest. Long ago, there were Seven Heroes who saved the world and were prophesized to return one day. It took a long time to get the game, but we finally got it.Ĭoming from the 1990s era of RPGs, here is my review of both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation Vita versions of Romancing SaGa 2!
