Our take on AbsentedAge 2: Ghostbound
The game replaces the usual separation between action and tactical RPG systems: exploration runs in real time, then encounters become turn-based without a separate battle loading sequence. Roguelike dungeons, ally summons, costume changes, and equipment progression further mix conventions from several genres.
What is AbsentedAge 2: Ghostbound?
A ghost girl searches for her lost identity, memories, and bonds with her schoolmates.
Exploration uses action RPG mechanics, while contact with an enemy shifts the surrounding area into turn-based tactical combat. The game includes hundreds of skills and items, monster battles, equipment changes, and costume customization. Bonds formed during the story allow friends to appear through summon abilities, either supporting the party or temporarily replacing a character. The companion spirit can change combat styles and develop through an added skill tree, including abilities for follow-up attacks and automatic recovery. The story continues in a school connected to the protagonist’s memories. This sequel supports transferring clear data from the previous game and includes a tutorial for new players.
