About
Since then, countless moons have passed...
As people wove generations together,
she quietly continued to fulfill her duty.
But at last, the time came, and the silence was broken.
Old and weary, she gathered her last strength
and spread her wings to find out the hero...
Dungeon Antiqua 2 is a 2D dungeon hack-and-slash RPG featuring SNES-style pixel art and sound.
A retro-flavored adventure awaits you, blending strategic exploration with a highly flexible character building system.
§ Exploration
Players will explore six dungeons, navigating with a unique system where visibility of corridors and enemies depends on the character’s “vision".
Dungeon Antiqua 2 uses a symbol encounter system—you can avoid battles by dodging enemies, or strike first and take the initiative. The path forward is yours to carve through skill and decision-making!
§ System
In addition to the eight jobs from the previous game, two new classes—Monk and Archer—have been added, bringing the total to ten.
Earn skill points from victorious battles; once they reach the required threshold, you’ll unlock job-specific skills.
Since changing jobs does not reset level, you can freely experiment with multiple jobs to create your own ultimate party!
note: Five jobs are available at the start of the game. The remaining five types will become available as you progress through the game.
§ Concept
Sometimes, why not take a step back and return to the cartridge era of gaming?
By stripping away excessive story cutscenes and focusing on short, simple dialogue and text, the world is designed to spark your imagination—inviting you to create your own personal adventure.
§ Playtime
For a first playthrough, we estimate a playtime of approximately 10-12 hours.
This game takes place hundreds of years after the story of Dungeon Antiqua.
You may even come across some familiar characters from the previous game…
Save data from the demo can be transferred to the full version.
On standard PCs (Windows/Mac), the save data files themselves are shared. Therefore, if you launch the full version after playing the demo, you can continue playing from where you left off in the demo.
For certain environments like Steam Deck, after launching the game, select “Inherit Data” > “Backup Save data” from the menu in the upper-right corner. Choose the data from after clearing the trial version to obtain a 6-digit code. Then, in the full version, select “Inherit Data” > “Restore Save data” and enter the obtained 6-digit code to transfer the save data.
Your download also includes an executable file for certain handheld consoles (see the official website for details).
From Settings > Manage > Browse Local Files, locate dungeon-antiqua2.pyxapp and transfer it to your device.

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やった世代に、FF5(ジョブ・アビリティ、装備の組合わせが肝)好きな方にはとても嬉しいおすすめ作品だと思います。 エンディングの分岐あり、2周目への配慮をアップデートでしてもらったようです。 難しすぎない範囲の実績があってもいいかと思いました。 ほどよく裏ボスクリアできて、非常に楽しめました、ありがとうございます。
最初からハードでクリア。即死系が強すぎるかな。 ラスボスもそこそこ手ごたえがあってよかった。 ボリュームはもう少しあってもいいね。
前作で楽しめた方は間違いなく楽しめる テンポ重視のウィザードリィというか、今回はFF5ライクなゲーム。 お店の品ぞろえが増える仕様は終盤まで気づかず、 アイテムコレクター的な私にはとても罠でした。 欠点はとくになく、 ときおり処理落ちのような症状がでたりしてそういうときはYouTubeなどブラウザで開いてる動画もかくかくしてました。 パフォーマンス的にはかなり余裕があったのですが、 割と十数分に一回程度に発生してたので気になりました。

FAKE OLD GAME GUD
Combines elements of some of the better old school RPG's. Was a mistake to only have 5 starting jobs to choose from in a 4 person party but still well worth the price.
I told it to skip the tutorial and it kept telling me what to do. 0/10. Played for 2 minutes and uninstalled.
Pretty alright. Very condensed dunegon crawling experience that wears its Wizardry and Final Fantasy influences openly, but nails the aesthetics of the early FF eras nicely. Not overly complex, but decently well fleshed out mechanically. Story's basically an afterthought here, but it's not trying to be the forefront.
I enjoyed this game. A bit more Final Fantasy 5 than the first one being more Wizardry. Personally I like the menu based town they used in both games. I enjoyed the team comps you could make in this game. Grinding is a bit boring in this version if you need it, auto makes it not as annoying though. (While it is auto combat, it's not auto grind. You have to select it every turn.)
