About the Game

An Exciting, Emotional Tribute to the Golden Age of JRPGs!

8-Bit Adventures 2 is everything you love about NES, SNES and PS1-era JRPGs. Pilot your Airship and explore a vast World Map; strengthen your party’s bonds with character-driven side-quests, and face off with challenging Super Bosses in dynamic Turn-Based battles!

A mistreated child with impossible powers wreaks havoc upon the world, fighting for his right to exist. But if he lives, humanity must die. Now a famous hero has disappeared, kicking off a grand adventure - and a battle for survival...

A perfect entry point into the fan-favorite series, this is a story for new and returning players. Try the Free Demo today!

  • Enjoy a feel-good adventure filled with love, laughs, and drama, which deals with the dark stuff but always wants to leave you feeling uplifted over its 30-40 hour playtime.

  • Experience constant variety – everything from exploring ancient ruins to solving a robot murder mystery – realised through charming pixel art which walks the line between authenticity and aesthetic.

  • Explore an expansive World Map filled with secrets and optional locations to discover; both on-foot and via Airship! The world of 8-Bit Adventures 2 is full of the character-driven side-quests and challenging Super Boss battles that any RPG fan expects.

  • Engage in turn-based JRPG battles with depth and strategy, inspired by games like Final Fantasy X, Chrono Trigger, and Mother 3.

  • Freely swap allies in combat, equip Augments to customise your characters, and unleash 99 unique abilities, including Team Attacks and Omega Burst finishing moves.

  • Meet a lovable cast of seven playable characters who form relationships, make mistakes, and struggle with their past, but still work to save the world and overcome their demons.

  • Relax with a carefully crafted adventure which never bogs the player down, but ensures you're always doing something fun and meaningful. From beginning to end, 8-Bit Adventures 2 is focused on telling an engaging story, not wasting your time - and that means no random battles or mandatory grinding!

  • Become engrossed in an earnest, heartfelt story about living a full life and protecting the things that really matter - no cynicism, meta-narrative, or classic game parody in sight.

  • Save the world from a vengeful Glitch! A mistreated child with terrifying powers threatens to reshape the world in his own chaotic image. A unique and persistent foe from beginning to end, the Glitch changes and develops over the course of the story like any other character, grappling with what he is…and what he could be.

Wanted to 'check it out' before sleep and couldn't stop playing, really had to force myself to put it down, haha! As a HUGE Final Fantasy nerd this has all the right ingredients to sail straight into my heart. Don't let this one pass you by, it's amazing I PROMISE! My verdict after only an hour.. I can't wait to continue this journey, the story so far is very intriguing and the characters lovable.

Hours aren't accurate, been playing for about 10-15 hours on my steam deck in offline mode. Haven't beaten the game yet, but the quality of this one is pretty astonishing. Saw a random redditor heap praises on it and decided to give it a try, glad I did. This is a very fun JRPG, with a satisfying and engaging story. Way up there in terms of quality. I'd honestly compare it to chained echoes in terms of overall quality, but with the very different 8 bit style. Highly recommend it for any JRPG fans. I don't really have any complaints other than that it will probably be difficult to 100% due to it not being very well known, there are not many guides for the game. This is obviously not a knock on the game itself. I definitely think the game deserves more attention.
