About
Dungeon Antiqua 2 evolves the series from its 8-bit roots into a vibrant SNES-era homage, blending the brutal dungeon structure of Wizardry with the colorful charm of early Final Fantasy. As a mechanics-first RPG, it invites players to assemble a custom party of 10 distinct jobs, master complex skill synergies, and descend into labyrinthine depths where strategy is the only law.
Story
Stripping away heavy cinematic exposition, the game embraces the 'pure adventure' narrative of the golden age. You are the leader of a guild of adventurers, answering the call of the mysterious depths. The story is yours to write through survival, exploration, and the inevitable clashes with the monsters guarding the dungeon's darkest secrets.
Gameplay
At its heart, this is a turn-based tactical playground. Players navigate top-down dungeon maps filled with secrets before shifting to a classic side-view battle perspective. The core loop revolves around the 'Job System,' allowing for endless theory-crafting as you mix and match abilities from 10 classes to create unbroken chains of attacks and magical dominance.

💡 Did You Know?
The series began as 'Finardry', a Python-based fan game mixing FF1 assets with Wizardry mechanics.
While the first game mimicked the 8-bit NES era, this sequel deliberately advances to 16-bit SNES aesthetics.
The developer, Shiromofu Factory, focuses on making the 'brutal' dungeon crawler genre approachable for modern audiences.
