SUMMARY

Castle Fantasia 2 is a turn-based tactical RPG, with extensive visual novel-like story intermission scenes. The Castle Fantasia 2: Renewal re-release includes high-resolution CG images, voice acting for all text spoken by the characters in-game and CD audio music.

The tactical RPG portions of the game are in the standard "All player units do their actions, then all enemy units do their actions" format. Units are laid out on a grid of squares. At most one unit may occupy a square, and each unit faces one of the four sides. Each unit may move and change facing once per turn, and may also do an action: either attack, defend, cast a magic spell, perform a limit attack or perform an "Ougi(Special)" attack. The units may move and do actions in any order, and may interleave their moves and actions. Each units have a certain amount of HP and LP. Attacks reduce the enemy's HP, and attacking the side or the back of enemies causes extra damage. Attacking, defending and being attacked increases the LP. When the LP meter is full, the unit can perform a Limit attack, which does extra damage, or an "Ougi" attack, which does extra damage and can target multiple enemies. A unit also gains experience when attacking and eliminating enemy units. With sufficient experience, a unit will gain a level, increasing attack and defense. Spellcasters may learn new spells at each level, and characters can also learn their "Ougi" attack.

During the intermission scenes, the player controls the actions of Hewie, and is given choices for Hewie's actions. The consequences of these actions affect Hewie's relationship with the other characters, potentially unlocking a romantic relationship with some characters.

no music and there's some kind of save bug, cause I don't know why, but it won't load a saved game. It's funny 'cause it could load it once, I did another save and now it can't load it :S

Saving works fine for me. If the error is intermittent make two saves, in case some bug stops it from working.
For the sound error try switching the audio modes.

**gresta** · April 13th, 2011, 07:15 PM

tried switching, no change, but the save meachanism works again (hope it stays that way

)

**corocoro** · April 13th, 2011, 07:32 PM

Well, saving is the most important thing. :p
Hmm, I'm sure it was working for me - might be a MIDI thing, if you use a soundcard that doesn't have libraries for it you may need the Yamaha Mixer.

well, music or no, it works so it's ok. I just want to thank you for taking your time and posting all these games. These are the type of games i can never get enough of (even if the hentai part is short and not so good, like in Uwatarerumono).

I see when this game was released, 800x600 was "high resolution"

Well, I tested the games before uploading and they worked fine for me. Can't really say what your problem is with them and so far nearly all user-encountered issues were resolved.
