Agalta II

About

Agalta II continues the story of Ares and his allies after they defeat the main villain in the first game. Their return voyage to Saladin goes awry when a storm crashes their airship onto a foreign continent. Rescued by Safaya’s king, the trio must now defend his kingdom from strange creatures. The gameplay mixes turn-based combat with exploration of new regions, including overworld maps and dungeon crawls. Players manage character growth, equipment, and strategy across a narrative that splits focus between the crash site and Safaya’s political struggles. Despite its age, Agalta II retains a reputation for solid RPG mechanics and a self-contained adventure that doesn’t overstay its welcome. The PC-9800 visuals and soundtrack feel dated but remain serviceable for the genre. With a runtime of roughly 30-40 hours, it’s a brisk follow-up to its predecessor. While not as influential as some 90s JRPGs, it holds a niche following among fans of classic turn-based tactics and straightforward fantasy plots. The sequel’s legacy is modest but consistent with Fenrir’s other early RPG work.
