SD Anime-Style Characters Inhabiting a Colorful Hand-Drawn 2D World
Boasting beautiful painterly art rife with detail and animations, and populated with an equally colorful cast of super-deformed anime characters who are constantly on the move, the world of Arges feels perpetually alive and energetic.

Fast and Chaotic Combat Featuring a Plucky Duo of Protagonists (and One Pet)
Fend off merciless enemies in real time with Pokkle’s melee attacks and Pipiro’s myriad magics, and solve puzzles to progress through the game’s many dungeons, all while either flanked by a loyal pet or while monitoring said pet from afar as it goes off on its own adorable little journeys.

Tongue-in-Cheek Story and Characters Providing Genuine Humor
Pokkle’s terrible puns and Pipiro’s all-encompassing snark combine with quirky NPCs, self-aware dialogue, weird and unlikely locations, over-the-top situations, fourth-wall breaking, optional side-quests, and more to provide a genuinely funny and dynamic RPG experience.

Food-Based Leveling System Allowing Players to Challenge the Game on Their Own Terms
Eat food to level-up, or hoard your food so you can exchange it in town for even better food down the line that grants even more experience. Will you stay low-level and challenge dungeons well beyond your means for the promise of more level-ups to come, or will you engorge yourself on demand to make the road ahead a little easier?

Minigames, Music, Achievements, Art, and More, Creating the Definitive Zwei Experience
Play an Ys-inspired typing tutor, an adorable yet savage aeroplane shmup, or a block puzzler that rewards you for not making combos – or maybe just take the time to help guide your pet through the harsh wilderness for various spoils! If that’s not enough, why not try for one of the myriad new achievements, seek out one of the newly illustrated character bromides, or switch out the regular soundtrack for its 2008 arranged version? You can even play the game with Japanese text if you want! Add to that a bevy of control improvements and other modernizations, and you have the ultimate update to this unsung Falcom classic!

Cutest ARPG

Still my favorite Falcom game ("Gurumin" are good, "Trails" series are better, but this is still my favorite). You starts by naming main characters and picking your pet! Then you go between villages and dungeons to challenge cute monsters and collect lots of drops to level up. Who doesn't like some good drops and leveling up? All I am saying is: in the world with Diablo and Torchlight, maybe this is nothing fancy. But if you want to see a whimsical Japanese take on the same subject. "Zwei" is your game. I also admire dev for actively working on this game, not just port and disappear. See their Steam feedback thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/427680/discussions/0/1692659769946041622/ And finally, for macOS users out there, I got this 90% working on Wine: http://portingkit.com/smf/index.php?topic=936.0

My Childhood

It's been 17 years since Zwei first released. The graphic and BGM are still so awesome. Good to get the chance to play it again. 童年的回忆。

Charming

A charming arpg with a solid soundtrack to boot. The combat is probably the game's most lackluster point as it's very monotonous in the beginning. The attack sounds are somewhat annoying. But that's all forgiven since it's not a game that takes itself very seriously and hence shouldn't either. There's a basic story here, but what you'll come back for is just the incredibly charming artstyle, towns, dialgoue and music. Well worth getting it on a sale and just hanging out in Puck Town listening to the music.

Actually Undderated

Love this game, it has so much charm It has absolutely amazing 2D drawn art that really makes the entire game look beautiful. It's also very meaty even if you don't grind, I'm pretty underleveled for the dungeons but still have been making progress that has taken hours to get there. The story isn't full of twists and turns and pretty straight forward with a comedic tone.

The full package cute dungeon crawler

+ Cozy, hand-drawn style graphics and beautiful music + Very cute character designs with some serious sassiness and insults (usually from Pipiro) + Lighthearted, intriguing dialogues that make sense, many fun little details in world building + Smooth real-time combat dungeon crawl gameplay + As a re-released game, it has fairly good modernisation - Combat is on the button-smashing side and can be a bit repetitive - Some sound effects can be better
