Summary

Luminous Arc 2 kicks off after the events of the first title, and sees you controlling a young knight named Roland, tasked with saving the Kingdom of Carnava from an army of ancient beasts that threaten the balance of nature.

Even worse, the Shadow Frost Witch, one of the most powerful in the Magic Association with the power to use dark magic, has gone rogue and started her own war within the community. Roland's job is to intervene in this conflict on top of protecting his kingdom. All whilst still in training too! What's a knight to do?

With an all new epic storyline, Luminous Arc 2 features some brand new characters to use in this strategy RPG, along with some familiar favourites from games past. Hand drawn graphics accentuate an authentic anime style to the action, and a redesigned user interface aims to make battle tactics even more fun to implement.

Along the way you will find strange creatures called Kopin, too. These help to enrich the Luminous Arc 2 experience, in the form of characters that can be deadly in battle or friendly help in towns and bars. By following a certain Kopin character intending to be the world's most powerful monster, you learn more about this endearing race, and can even interact with them the same way you could in the original game.

The multiple endings and music from renowned composer Yasunori Mitsuda are combined with, interestingly, a comprehensive local and online multiplayer mode. Get with some friends, and work your magic to save the kingdom from certain doom!
