Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars

Mechanics

The gameplay model very much resembles the latest entries of the Persona series, well known to fans of the genre. The game is divided into several modes. The first one resembles a traditional visual novel adventure. Players can interact with each of the seven friends and get to know them better by dating. We also give our friends accessories and gifts.

Another mode is a rather traditional dungeon crawler with turn-based combat. We observe the action from the third-person perspective, traverse randomly generated undergrounds, going deeper and deeper into the Labyrinth of Pandora. Enemies are visible on the screen, so we can avoid them or try to attack them by surprise. Most enemies are susceptible to a particular type of attack, which we can use to our advantage. During the battles, we are accompanied by one heroine and a few star children - their statistics are influenced by the degree of intimacy with a given partner and her skills. In addition, in the city, we can equip ourselves with better equipment, and send children to look for the items we need.
