Anime Crusader Kings-inspired Square Enix RPG is here with the demo release of Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge Of The Seven.

A Dynasty of Heroes
What to Expect in the Demo
The demo offers a glimpse into the game’s story, culminating in a battle against Kzinssie, one of the ancient vengeful heroes. This Anime Crusader Kings-inspired Square Enix RPG allows you to pass on save data from the demo to the full game, which is a nice touch for continuity.
New to the SaGa Series?
No worries if you're new to the SaGa series. Producer Shinichi Tatsuke assures players that Revenge Of The Seven “has no connection to the rest of the SaGa franchise in terms of worldview or storyline.” The game includes ample tutorials and offers different difficulty modes, making it accessible for beginners.
Features and Gameplay
Enhancements and Upgrades
The Anime Crusader Kings-inspired Square Enix RPG comes packed with new features. From new episodes exploring the Seven Heroes' pasts to enhanced battle mechanics with United Attacks and timelines, the game has it all. There are also new classes, abilities, spells, and a revamped soundtrack with options to toggle between the rearranged and original retro music.
Strategic Battle Tips
Tatsuke advises players to strike at enemy weaknesses to fill up an Overdrive gauge, enabling powerful United Attacks. The Lineage system allows you to pass down abilities through generations, leading to more powerful emperors over time. This system is similar to the intricate mechanics found in Crusader Kings.
What Sets It Apart?
A Unique Blend of Mechanics
This Anime Crusader Kings-inspired Square Enix RPG combines empire-building and lineage management with classic turn-based combat. While it might not have the depth of Crusader Kings, it offers a refreshing blend of RPG elements that both anime and strategy fans will enjoy.
