Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

Ni no Kuni 2 is a huge RPG game set in a world full of colors in which you take on the role of the hero Ivan, a little boy who at this young age was destined to become king, and experience various events with him on the way to his goal dreams of building his own empire and working to unite all regions so that there are no… There are more wars in this world.

Improved Gameplay and Graphics

It is easy to see that the developers benefited from the first part and corrected its mistakes, then took some ideas from previous game series like Sekuden and others and added many different ideas to create an integrated world to venture into worth it. The game features stunning graphics and a picturesque and diverse world. The game has always been one of the strongest features of the game, not because of the strength of the graphics, but because of the unique art direction and the stunning colors that fill all parts of this world The diversity of regions and the beautiful details of deserts, forests and even Oceans add charm and beauty to this game, apart from the accuracy of details in the design of the characters and leaders, and the game offers you the choice to play. With 4K resolution and HDR technology for PlayStation Pro devices.

Engaging Combat and City Development

As we mentioned earlier, the game’s story revolves around the character Ivan, who works to create his own empire, solve the world’s problems, unite all cities, stop wars and spread happiness everywhere, all in one stereotypical story that wasn’t bad at all, but it didn’t offer anything new. One of the most important changes that this part underwent is: the development of the combat system has now become faster and more interactive, and you will spend many hours enjoying the fast and smooth battles. This does not mean that the battles have become superficial, but the depth and strategies of the battle only become clear in the battles of the leaders, which we should praise here, and also the determination of the leaders! Battles with leaders or powerful enemies make you think, at least for a moment, about how best to fight, e.g. B. with various magic, countermeasures or the use of Higgeldies, which are creatures of different colors that help you in one way or another in battles. You can take four different types of them, and each of them has its own advantage, be it in combat or in treatment. your team, but as the game progresses you’ll find that the game offers no significant challenge, nor options to increase the difficulty, with the exception of some side monsters if you want.

Speaking of the combat system, the game offers you many hours of gameplay (between 30 and 50 hours, depending on how you complete the side quests). There is a strategic system for developing your city, a simple system for building shops and developments in your city, but it is so huge that you can spend many hours developing your city and working on opening new shops, that will benefit you. The shops and buildings you build will give you various benefits, such as getting the basic materials you need or developing some skills and magic. You have a choice about how you want to use your time and what you want to focus on. Will you focus on crafting the latest armor or develop farms to provide more needed materials? Prepare plenty of meals that will benefit your team in the upcoming battles. The options are many and varied, and this part remains completely optional, except in a few cases where you need some buildings in your city to complete some of the main story missions.

Side Missions and Army Battles

Speaking of developing your own city, you need residents of that city to join you as the story progresses or while completing side missions for it. Each person has a special advantage to excel in their specific field and help your city in the future in the best way. If we talk about the combat system and city development, the game also offers you a large number of side missions. There are various side missions, but that’s not all. The game features battles for armies. You work to create your own army, engage in battles using a very simple system and defeat enemies in multiple battles, be it within the story, in side missions or even in optional battles spread across the world are distributed.

There are many options for control. As your team level increases, you will be able to choose and develop some special options, be it improving your defense against a certain type of attacks or gaining more experience points from battles and other various options available to you that you can choose based on your points. As for the sounds in the game, the game offers several good tunes with distinct voice acting, even in English. It’s disappointing that as the story progresses you’ll notice that voice acting is very rare, and most scenes only used text dialogue. Even though this decision was made to reduce the cost of developing the game, I felt that this game would have benefited from it. Strong voice conversations add depth to the characters.
