'Dungeon Travelers 2: The Royal Library & the Monster Seal' (Vita) Unveils Basic Classes - Trailer

Dungeon Travelers 2: The Royal Library & the Monster Seal is a Japanese role-playing game for devotees of dungeon crawlers.

You know those times when you get tasked with saving the world by stopping a monster uprising, but along the way you screw up and can't prevent a shrine from being broken and instead make matters exponentially worse? Well, that's what Fried, an apprentice from the Royal Library gets himself into at the start of Dungeon Travelers 2. Along the way, he'll build a party of female warriors, mages, maids, etc. to help him on his mission. 

As you grow your party of female warriors, mages, maids, etc. in Dungeon Travelers 2, the depth of the intricate class system and party management minutiae unlocks tons of play styles.

The kingdom of Romulea is in peril. Monsters are leaking out of every nook and cranny in the land, and to make matters worse, they have started an uprising against humanity. Players take on the role of Fried, an adventurer from the Royal Library sent to stop the uprising. But early in his journey, he discovers a broken shrine along the way. This sets in motion the story of Dungeon Travelers 2, where Fried travels around the kingdom of Romulea, and through rescuing, defeating, or bumping into any of the 16 unique girls that can join his party, Fried is on a mission to save the world! Set in a first-person perspective with turn-based combat, players will encounter normal monsters as well as more powerful mutant girls, who must be sealed away to prevent the spread of the evil monster scourge.

One of the key elements in Dungeon Travelers 2 is building a party around the many, MANY classes in the game. But every character starts off as one of five basic classes.

  • Fighter: Standard melee damage dealer, has skills for basic defense as well as attacks. With high HP and strength, they can be the vanguard of the party. 
  • Magic User: The basic class can use all elemental damage-dealing spells. They can use the basic healing spell as well, making them an invaluable asset to the party. 
  • Scout: A master of speed that can attack when the enemy lets their guard down, and can also steal money. Because they can use both daggers and bows, they can change their fighting style to fit your needs. 
  • Maid: Though not good with physical attacks or magic, they can provide special support without using TP or needing casting time. The unsung hero type.
  • Spieler: This class is literally a wild card. The most powerful of the Spieler abilities are high-risk, high-reward gamles, so choose them for your party carefully! They can make a HUGE difference in battle. 

The girls are fixed in their basic classes, but when you get to the point of choosing a new intermediate or advanced class, it's still possible to put skill points into some of the basic class skills. It's always nice to have a good, low-cost healing spell around or a strong defensive guard spell. 

One other thing you might not know about Dungeon Travelers 2 is that all the characters have unique art - there's not just one generic "fighter" outfit, etc. Each has their own hand-drawn art for every class.

Key Features:

  • Art That is Sure to Leave a Mark: The hand-drawn art of the girls in your party, as well as the mutant girls who must be defeated breathe scintillating life into the quixotic world of Romulea.
  • Sealed with Power: Defeating enemies in the dungeon produces Sealbooks, which can give the girls in your party unique bonuses, enchant weapons, or be sold for gold. Deciding how to use the Sealbooks is a crucial part of the game’s dungeon-crawling aspects.
  • Turn the Party into a Par-tay: As you explore dungeons, players can trigger sub-events which allow for further character development between Fried and the individual girls in his party. Favorite girls can even show up in the menus (cosmetically) more often.
  • Min-maxers' Delight: Each girl in your party has one of five base classes, from which they can spec into one of several sub-classes, which can be further specialized. For example, a Magic User can become a Sorceress, which can specialize into Magical Princess. Each subclass has its own unique skill-set and corresponding armor/outfit, allowing for intricate tweaks for discerning party managers.
  • Original Audio: Dungeon Travelers 2 presents the game with English text localized by ATLUS and fully voiced Japanese audio.

Dungeon Travelers 2 will be available for $39.99 (CA$49.99) in both physical and digital formats, and is also compatible with PlayStation TV.
