Dark Chronicle Japan

Taking place 100 years after the events chronicled in the original game, Dark Cloud 2 continues its predecessor's combination of dungeon-crawling action and world-building adventure with a new visual style, time-traveling storyline, and two playable characters. The game's visuals make use of cel-shaded characters and 3D backgrounds to create a presentation not unlike Japanese anime. Max is a young boy with the talent to create mechanical inventions, including a robotic battle suit he can control. Monica, on the other hand, dabbles in sorcery and has the power to transform into animals. The majority of the game takes place in randomly generated dungeon levels where players hack-and-slash at their enemies in real time using a lock-on targeting system.
