A beautiful anime-style JRPG adventure
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is Level-5's enchanting action RPG set in a gorgeous anime-inspired fantasy world co-designed with Studio Ghibli alumni. Young king Evan must reclaim his stolen throne and build a new kingdom united by a declaration of interdependence. The real-time combat system blends swift sword strikes, magical abilities, and adorable Higgledies — elemental sprites that provide buffs and special attacks. Kingdom building is a major feature where players construct and upgrade facilities, recruit citizens, and develop resources. Skirmish battles add real-time strategy elements with army-vs-army encounters. The art direction features watercolor landscapes, whimsical character designs, and Joe Hisaishi's magical orchestral soundtrack that evokes classic Ghibli films. Side quests flesh out a heartwarming story about friendship, leadership, and building bridges between cultures.
