Fantasia Sango 2

Fantasia Sango 2 is the second single-player role-playing game in the Fantasia Sango series. Set around 10 years before the first game, in 196 AD, it follows Chu Ge, a poor young man determined to become the richest person in the world. His adventure begins in Zhaode Village in Xiliang, then under the control of Ma Teng, amid the turmoil of the era.

Story and characters

The story takes place after the forces of Li Jue and Guo Si, former subordinates of Dong Zhuo, are defeated and Cao Cao moves Emperor Xian to Xudu. The game draws on the Three Kingdoms setting and features many mythic characters. Its multiple storylines and routes include major battles, romance and lasting friendship.

Combat and formations

Combat combines turn-based and semi-real-time systems. Battles retain the first game’s fast-paced combo attacks, with simplified settings and fewer operational complications. Combo attacks let you strike the same enemy again within a time window after dealing damage; successful follow-up attacks gain additional power, and repeated hits increase the added damage. The second game improves attack judgments and the prompts for managing the combo window.

Formation skills are basic abilities for every character rather than skills reserved for one protagonist. Different generals have different formation skills, giving the party distinct strategic options.

Equipment and crystal souls

Each enemy character carries a crystal soul with its own ability. You can socket these into compatible equipment to gain those abilities. Equipment includes weapons, headgear, armor, boots and accessories; crystal souls vary in the equipment slots they fit, as well as in size and shape. The socket’s size and shape must match, and larger sockets can hold multiple crystal souls.
