Dungeon Antiqua 2

For a particular type of person, this could well be a top 5 game, I'm serious I know, I know, it's one of a million retro RPGs us gen Xer's can pick to relive the decade owned by the SNES. Half Wizardry, half FF. What's the big deal? Well, do you find yourself mashing through the text and having no patience at all for being lost in a world map? Got you covered. Do you enjoy grinding but get sick of healing on the pause screen? Yeah, there's a single button for that. Do you like farming late game gear with a low drop rate but a payoff that makes you glad you did it? Base stat boots come from mastering each class, so while you absolutely don't have to, maxing out your party is rewarding! The game's not perfect- there's one "guide-dang-it" moment in story progression that's pretty aggressively bad... but it doesn't lock you out of anything (after a patch, thanks for listening to feedback Dev) and if you care, you can easily see it on the discussion pages before you get that deep into the game. There's an enemy that drops great XP but has a high chance to run away (I always hate those) Honestly if you're the sort of person who will love this game, you probably already know. What are you waiting for?

It is a big improvement compared to the first game. However, this is heavily influenced by my preference towards more modern style rpg's. For me, this game improved on most things from the combat, class system and the dungeon design. It also has a SNES aesthetic and soundtrack compared to the first game which was completely NES styled. Honestly, also a huge recommendation on this one. It is so much fun playing around with the class system and seeing what broken builds you can create with the cross class skills you unlock.

This is not a large scale epic fantasy, this is a compact dungeon crawler. Think Final Fantasy 5 but without any of the dialogue or exploration, just a raw RPG game loop. That said, it does what it is supposed to do incredibly well. The combat is fast, fluid, rewarding. Characters always feel like they're getting stronger and building meaningful tools to deal with situations. The difficulty is hard to describe. It's high, but gives you all the tools to overcome it if you're paying attention. If you try to brute force the bosses, you'll die, but figuring out how they operate and exploiting them is a fun little puzzle that makes them very manageable. If you actually try skills and read descriptions, it's a fairly easy game. This is because the status ailment system in this game is actually good and worth using. I was sleeping, silencing, poisoning, confusing enemies all throughout the game. Even using Death and other instant kill skills were not universally useless due to immunities, I found myself using instant kill a fair bit. The job system is compact but rewarding. Unlike FF5, none of the jobs here feel totally useless, and mastering a couple of them per character is worthwhile. Even if DA1 put you off with its old-school FF1/Wizardryness, try DA2 if you liked FF3/5/dimensions. It's much more SNES-FF style.

SFCテイストな昔ながらのRPG でも快適さは今仕様でサクサク遊べる良作 不満点としては 戦闘中の呪文一覧にスペースが無く見づらいためレベルごと一段隙間を作ってくれたらよかったな またオートはコマンドから選ぶのではなくボタンに割り振って一発で使えたらより便利だった

前作と違いアライメントによる縛りが無くなったのは嬉しい。 育てすぎると魔法が最強になってしまうのはWizらしさがある。 難易度はそこまで高くないがやれることは色々あるのも嬉しい。

Fun little game - kind of like an "espresso shot" dose of FF5. Liked the creative mechanics of some of the dungeon layouts. You can complete the base game and "story" in about 8 hours, but there is a set of post-game challenges if you need more. If you saw the trailer and remembered that from playing 80s/90s dungeon crawlers, you'll be right at home.

Great sequel to an already great game. While the first game was a combination of Final Fantasy and Wizardry this is kind of the same but with light FF5 job system. It's not as advanced as the one in FF5 as there are simply not as many jobs as in that game but you still get some room to maneuver as you can equip 3 additional learned skills per character in addition to standard attack, item, guard and whatever class signature ability is. Sounds nice but unfortunately you can only have 4 active abilities per character and almost always it's most optimal to put some magic on that last slot because who's gonna waste it on Hide or something. So passive abilities reign supreme and eventually game becomes trivially easy as some combinations are so obviously made for each other and overpowered you can put your combat on auto on all encounters including almost all bosses and still win. Still it takes a while to break the game and it's a solid reward of cracking the system so while would be nice if the system was more advanced it's still pretty good for such a small game. Everything else is as great as it was in the first one if not better so if you liked it playing this one is a must.

great, after playing for 10 hours, completed the game, then only I realise the item sold to shop, can be buyback as much as I want, which means selling 1 panacea can buy 99 back... I was rely on bishop and magic tear all the time.......
