Max can also invent different weapons to use in battle, and Monica's power of transformation means her animal alter egos will gain new powers over time as well. Unlike most traditional role-playing games, experience points are awarded to the weapons used in combat rather than the character.Īs a character's weapon becomes more experienced over time, it can absorb the powers of certain items to acquire new abilities or attributes.

Both characters can pick up and throw items found along the ground as well as perform moves, such as back flips, blocks, jumping attacks, and more. Players have the ability to switch between characters at any time to take advantage of their distinct traits. 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. Monica, on the other hand, dabbles in sorcery and has the power to transform into animals. Max is a young boy with the talent to create mechanical inventions, including a robotic battle suit he can control. The game's visuals make use of cel-shaded characters and 3D backgrounds to create a presentation not unlike Japanese anime. 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.
