Game mechanics

Soul Hackers 2 is a quite a classic jRPG. We explore the world, complete quests, develop heroes and fight with enemies using a turn-based battle system, where achieving success requires choosing the type of attacks to specific enemies and targeting their weak points.

The key role in the gameplay plays the system of summoning demons, which we use in fights. Players can make contracts with these creatures, develop their abilities and combine two individuals to create a new, more powerful form.

Regular mortal cities are only explored by humans and Aion's cybernetic agents, but each location also has a hidden metropolis where demons can materialize not only during battles. These locations offer numerous useful facilities for gathering information and developing demons.

Game modes

The game features a single player mode only.
