We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- RPG players who want a campaign spanning several generations of rulers
- Players who enjoy decisions that shape a nation's history
- Fans of party-building systems involving formations, spells, and weapon development
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking one fixed protagonist throughout the entire campaign may find the succession structure disruptive
- Players who prefer a tightly linear story may bounce off the freeform scenario system and its changing outcomes
- Players looking for a short, self-contained adventure may not suit a campaign built around the history of an empire
Our take on Romancing SaGa 2™
Players may bounce when leadership changes and the campaign shifts to a new generation of protagonists. Anyone relying on a single, familiar party or a fixed hero may need to adjust to the succession system and its broader view of the empire's history.
What is Romancing SaGa 2™?
Lead the Varennes Empire across several generations of rulers in a campaign against the Seven Heroes.
A freeform scenario system lets actions shape the nation's development and history while control passes along the imperial succession. Battles use weapons and martial arts, with new combat techniques learned during play. Character attributes influence party development, while battle formations, spells, and weapon tempering provide additional ways to build the empire's forces. The game presents the narrative of the original 1993 release, with a structure centered on changing protagonists and the consequences of decisions made across the empire's history.
