Description

"Riglordsaga 2" is a tactical role-playing game developed by Microcabin and exclusively released in Japan for the Sega Saturn in 1996. The game is a sequel to the original "Riglordsaga," known in the West as "Mystaria: The Realms of Lore." Set in a richly detailed fantasy world, "Riglordsaga 2" expands upon its predecessor’s narrative and strategic elements, providing a more intricate plot and enhanced gameplay mechanics. Players take on the roles of various characters, each with unique abilities, navigating a series of grid-based combat scenarios that require thoughtful strategy and tactical placement of units. The game also features beautifully rendered graphics and cutscenes, which were quite impressive for the time and utilized the Sega Saturn’s graphical capabilities effectively.

Significant in the realm of tactical RPGs, "Riglordsaga 2" is notable for its refined approach to combat and unit management, including a more complex magic system and a variety of character classes. The game did not see an international release, which contributed to its status as a coveted title among collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese imports. Despite its limited exposure, it retains a dedicated following, thanks in part to its challenging gameplay and the depth of its strategic components. The game's narrative depth and character development are also highlights, appealing to players who enjoy story-driven content intertwined with tactical gameplay. "Riglordsaga 2" remains a memorable example of the genre during the Saturn’s lifetime, representing Microcabin's commitment to quality and innovation in game design.
