Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven Reviews
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a classic that has its pros and cons. You can completely customize the game with all the options and gameplay features, but the game is quite lacking in terms of quality. Graphically, the game looks very dated and in terms of user interface it is quite a mess. For fans of many RPG elements who want a lot of content for their money and demand more than enough possibilities, this will be a game to their heart's content. In addition, the game starts very slowly in the first hours, so you really have to bite through the sour until the goodies appear. Due to the mixed feelings, it is difficult to fully assess the game's value, as we previously read in our preview . It is clear that we remain somewhere in between in our judgment and given the pluses and minuses.

I’d have loved to see Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven lean into its generational aspects a bit harder. While combat is excellent and exploring this world is rewarding, after the initial chapters, it would have been great to feel more connected to my party. Still, I had a great time going through this Kingdom, taking down the seven one by one, and bringing peace back to the land. RPG fans are almost certainly feeling a time crunch with so many excellent games released in the genre recently, but Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is yet another title worth finding the time for.
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a remake that manages to move between the qualities of the original and the modernity expected of a current game, presenting itself as a bold and unique experience in the RPG market. A testament to the franchise's effort to experiment over the decades, we have here a game that absolutely all fans of the genre, and even those who want to challenge themselves to see RPGs in a new light, should try.

Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven has transitioned beautifully from being rooted in the past. For newcomers and JRPG fans in general, the game invites careful consideration, and even if you played the original version years ago, the visual and gameplay enhancements make it a worthwhile revisit.
Great RPG skirmishes, depth of gameplay, ideas that still seem fresh and varied gameplay make Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven irresistible, and not just for retro fans. However, some elements such as a certain lifelessness of the game world and repetitive sequences are no longer really up to date. Whether you appreciate unique features such as the generation change or reject them outright is certainly a matter of taste.

Even with the already saturated sea of JRPGs this year, this Romancing SaGa remake is worthy of your time whether you played the 1993 original to death, or just want to jump into a new style of the genre with fresh eyes and perspectives. Many of the original's core tenets are preserved and made better in this remake, which is the goal of the project really.
I really enjoyed my time with Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven. The game is both entertaining and engaging in equal measure, and will easily please fans of the genre. In fact, it's another good representative of the turn-based JRPG genre in a year of heavyweight releases.

Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is an eclectic, brilliant remake. The presentation, art direction, battle system, and music deliver an all-time classic for a new generation. You can see how much love and attention the developers put into celebrating the original.
I am so genuinely happy to see the SaGa series get a well deserved new starting point for new fans, and doubly so for the fact that series vets will love this as well. If you have ever had a vested interest in the SaGa franchise, there probably won’t be a better time than now, with Romancing SaGa2: Revenge of the Seven. I am thoroughly impressed and have a new top 3 SaGa game.
Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven is a faithful remake with improved accessibility through Quality of Life upgrades, blending classic pixel art with modern visuals, and offering a challenging yet enjoyable experience for both new and returning players.
