Save Your Empire. Defend Your Legacy.

Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a full remake of the groundbreaking non-linear RPG Romancing SaGa 2, which originally launched in Japan in 1993.
Embark on an adventure featuring both new and classic SaGa franchise features, complete with Japanese and English voiceovers, original and rearranged compositions, and much more! This is an ideal entry point for new players and provides an amped-up experience for longtime fans.

STORY

The Seven Heroes were once hailed as saviors, but the ancients feared their power and banished them to another dimension. It was foretold that they would return to save the world once more...

Thousands of years have passed, and the heroes have become legend. Furious that humankind has forgotten their many sacrifices, they have now returned as villains bent on revenge.

As legions of monsters swarm the world, take on the role of Ruler of the Empire of Varennes. Defend your legacy across successive generations, expand your realm and defeat the vengeful Seven Heroes one by one!

KEY FEATURES


Characters & Imperial Succession
Join forces with characters from over 30 different classes featuring a wide variety of professions and races, each with their own favored weapons, unique abilities, and effective tactics. Choose the next Emperor from this wide pool of candidates, each eligible to inherit the throne and become the next protagonist.
The knowledge and abilities of previous rulers are passed down to the next through the mystical art of inheritance magic, forging a lasting bond between you and your chosen characters.


Free-Form Scenario
The game presents a unique story structure that offers a vast array of narrative experiences in response to your choices and which objectives you tackle first—from how you expand the Empire to what order you challenge the Seven Heroes. Your actions and decisions will dramatically alter the course of the Emperor's journey.


Combat
The strategic turn-based battle system of the original has been further enhanced to a timeline system. Enjoy all the classic SaGa mechanics like "Glimmers," where you learn new abilities whilst in the heat of battle, and "Formations," which provide unique benefits to the retinue based on composition. Furthermore, the remake welcomes the new "United Attack" feature to perform combination attacks with your retinue members to turn the tide of battle!


Graphics
The 2D pixel sprites of the original game are now modeled in full 3D while retaining their charming, familiar appearances based on the beautiful concept illustrations by Tomomi Kobayashi. All towns and dungeons are now also fully rendered with reworked terrains and layouts.

Difficulty Settings
Select from one of three difficulty levels to match your preferred playstyle, from Casual, Normal, to Hard (Classic).
Casual offers a story-focused experience with less emphasis on battle, while Normal is recommended for veteran RPG players looking for a balanced game. Hard (Classic) is perfect for players looking for the brutal but satisfying challenge of the original 1993 version.

Music & Voices
Kenji Ito, the composer for the original Romancing SaGa 2, returns with a vengeance to present a beautiful soundtrack full of new arrangements! The music can be toggled between the original and new versions from the Options screen.
Furthermore, all event scenes in Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven now feature full Japanese and English voice acting!

A terrific remake that improves upon a much-forgotten classic. It has a serviceable story with some interesting antagonists, though the main story does tend to falter because for most of the game, you play as blank slate characters with no development, but the antagonist origin stories make everything come together in the end. Good but slightly dated visuals, great music, great voice acting, and fast-paced turn-based combat make this game a wonderful remake and a good idea of how to do a remake right.
  • Great combat
  • Great music and voice acting
  • Intersting world that expands the more you play it
  • Final boss and secret boss are a drastic difficulty spike
  • Graphics are a bit dated for 2024
