Dive into Phantom Rose 2: Sapphire, the captivating sequel to the roguelike card adventure, Phantom Rose Scarlet! This strategic card battler, developed by Studio Maka and released on Steam in October 2023, retains the dark, mysterious atmosphere of its predecessor while introducing exciting new features.
A Haunted School Awaits
Players assume the role of Aria, a young girl fighting terrifying creatures within her overrun school. This gothic setting enhances the game's haunting ambiance. Unlike its predecessor, Sapphire eliminates random mid-battle card draws. Instead, strategic cooldown management of your deck is key to victory against the encroaching phantoms.
New Challenges and Gameplay Mechanics
Sapphire offers escalating difficulty levels and includes an Arcade mode for boss battles and rewards, plus a Custom mode for personalized challenges. A standout feature, absent in Scarlet, is the introduction of a class system. Choose between the agile Blade class or the strategically nuanced Mage class, each offering unique gameplay styles and abilities (the Mage class utilizes an Arcana gauge to manage actions).
