Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Like the first game, Ni No Kuni II isn’t really based on a specific anime. It is, however, based on the entire style of Studio Ghibli animation. Boasting the same Ghibli-esque aesthetic, Revenant Kingdom takes players back to the kingdom of Ding Dong Dell. You play as Evan Pettiwhisker Tildrum the King of Ding Dong Dell, who’s been ousted from his throne by malevolent forces. Evan has to gather allies and take back his kingdom, which sends you on a sprawling adventure filled with interesting looking characters.
Ni No Kuni II’s biggest change from its predecessor comes with its combat system, which is much faster and more action-oriented. There’s also a brand new kingdom building feature that has Evan commanding armies and constructing buildings.
It looks like Level-5 is bringing us another epic RPG that fits right into the vein of Studio Ghibli, just like the first. This is definitely one of the more promising anime games of the year to keep your eye on.
