@jeffx - Yeah, AS2 is shaping up to be better than the first. I wish I understood more of it though! I have to keep asking for help when it comes to Hangul :(

@Rolando - The monsters are merciless if they track you down and at this point AS2 is for Korea only. Somehow, I don’t think Ubisoft is going to gamble on localizing the sequel. I hope I’m wrong though.

Yikes, I just died three times. You don’t have much of a chance once your spotted by the ogres. Hopefully the full game is not all about sneaking behind your enemies and taking the initiative, that could get annoying. Besides that, seems like a solid RPG.

Just downloaded this and put it on my PSP. I really have to say that compared to the first Astonishia Story that was widely considered a big case of “WTF IS THIS CRAP”, Astonishia Story 2, based on the demo anyway, is a much better product. The game feels a lot more polished and uses a traditional turn-based combat system instead of the first one’s SRPG-esque battle system, and the character designs and graphics are really great. Other than that, what the hell is up with monsters taking away 400+ HP from you when they get you from behind?

It’ll be interesting to see how Astonishia Story 2 does. I’m actually surprised the game is getting a sequel considering how the first one was…well…you know.

Wow! This looks so much better than the first one, which was charming in its own way. Do you read hangul proficiently? I can tell them apart from Kanjis but that’s where it stops :(
