Vagrant Hearts 2

Vagrant Hearts 2 is an adventure role-playing game and also a sequel to Vagrant Hearts. It is set after the events of the first game and all the main characters are back.

The story is not really a continuation of the original, but rather a whole new adventure with the same cast. You can fully enjoy Vagrant Hearts 2 without having played the original.

The story takes place in the same land of Azulel and everybody enjoys the peaceful era after the events in the first game. In a distant land, however, Scarllet and Wyatt get attacked by a mysterious purple-haired woman who wants something from them, something regarding Scarllet. They jump down a waterfall in order to escape. Weeks pass and the Brotherhood soon gets news that they found Scarllet and Wyatt somewhere in Dark Azulel and they decide to go and rescue them. Four members of the brotherhood set sail for the mysterious lands and so the journey takes off.

The gameplay is not very different from the first game, you do have some slight changes in the character info menu and you have more new items and skills. The combat is still turn-based and it basically retains most of its original design.

I like the fact that you have a lot of new areas to explore and new monsters to fight. Still, Vagrant Hearts 2 is more story-focused exactly like its predecessor. You still have a lot of hidden treasures and exploring every little corner of the map will ultimately be very rewarding.

The artwork is similar to the first game and it is quite beautiful. Vagrant Hearts 2 is a good sequel to Vagrant Hearts and I found it just as entertaining.
