The game itself is great but it was badly ported from the mobile version. Fortunately, they started to fix some problems here and there. It still needs more improvements over iOS/Android to justify its higher price though.

I came into this game with an open mind and it ended up being one of the best games I've played. To really enjoy this game you have to approach it with the intention to learn to play the game by its own rules instead of trying to impose what you've learned from previous, perhaps more generic jRPGs, as this game is anything but. Reading the manual that is supplied with the game is highly recommended. In many ways …

"A rough start, but a legendary journey awaits." This was my first time playing Romancing SaGa, and as a fan of classic JRPGs—especially the Final Fantasy series—I was curious to try this often-overlooked gem from Square Enix’s golden era. At first, it felt a bit overwhelming. The game doesn't hold your hand. The non-linear progression, lack of clear directions, and tough combat might frustrate newcomers. But give …

tl;dr A blast from the past Romancing SaGa 2 feels almost like an alternate evolutionary route for the JRPG genre. One where story takes a backseat and character drama is far less important than mastering the glimmer system so you add more skills to your repertoire as well as take over territories to recruit more characters. At its core a turn-based affair operating on “you are what you do” progression system, you …

A lot of the negative reviews are about how bad the port was a long time ago, that is not the case anymore. There are some minor issues, but not enough to detract from the game, I'll go over them. 1. No volume slider, I had to manually open my volume mixer in Windows to set the volume every time I started the game. Easily the biggest problem I had. 2. No way to enter fullscreen, easily solvable by hitting alt+enter, …

Players who liked Romancing SaGa 2™ talk about unique and rewarding gameplay that subverts JRPG conventions; those who didn't talk about port lacks settings like fullscreen and volume control. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Prior to release, Romancing SaGa 2 was highly antipicated in Japan. It was consistently the most wanted title on Famitsu's list of expected releases from September 27, 1993 through November 14, 1993. The original release topped the Famitsu sales chart in December 1993. Romancing SaGa 2 went on to sell nearly 1.5 million copies as of March 2003. It is the best-selling entry in the original Romancing SaGa trilogy, followed by the original game and Romancing SaGa 3. Reception of the remaster was varied; according to review aggregate website Metacritic, the PS4 and Switch versions saw generally positive reviews, while the Xbox version saw a mixed response.

The great dilemma: should you support this subpar release of one of the biggest titles the west missed out on two decades ago? Why is it even a question when there are so many flaws here? Allow me to explain. Sadly, it is another Squeenix hatchet job of a port, straight up from the android/IOS release with little to no improvements, but I…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The original game is a classic but this port doesn't offer enough as a PC port to justify its price tag. In addition to that, which would have been enough to justify my refund, this port crashes, has no configuration settings in the program itself or in a separate program. I had to enable some steam controller settings to get it to even recognize my controller (360 controller) and after having to do that, I was still facing strange issues with certain button presses. There's also no…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Press F11 for fullscreen mode. Go into Big Picture and check the boxes next to Xbox Controller, PS4 Controller, Generic Controller, and "Home opens up Steam" in the controller options (Thanks Oretachi for that!) Now go and enjoy this fun little JRPG that we English speakers missed out on 24 years ago! As for the game itself, the plot is not bad, and has some unique quirks, but it also seems mostly like an excuse to delve into dungeons and fight baddies. And given the SaGa series' excellent…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I gave this one a go despite the poor reviews, as it was a game I always wanted to try having played several of the other Saga games and enjoying them. And it's as a bad a port as everyone is saying. No settings at all, mobile control UI, poor controller detection. Which is a crime, because it's a good game if extremely unusual as typical jrpgs go. The game makes you THINK there's actual characters, but in reality there's just classes. Even the main character. Like other Saga games…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad port, no options AGAIN. No fullscreen settings, can't resize the window and no controller support when I force fullscreen with Alt+Enter. Good job Square Enix, this sets a great precedent for the upcoming FFXV port. Edit: granted, Alt+Enter, I am a silly person on occasion

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tl;dr SaGa games were flawed, epic, open ended, obscure gems way ahead of their time that few westerners got to play back in the days and that you should absolutely try if you're into (J)RPGs. My first encounter with them was in the mid nineties with Romancing SaGa 3. Coming from the likes of Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VI, I was hella confused by it. Most of the world was freely accessible from the start and I kept going from villages to towns and from ships to islands into dark caves and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a fan of the SaGa series, but this port is not perfect and with that in mind I will provide pros and cons for people on the fence about purchasing the game, with that said, let's go! The Pros: The story is great, the inheritence system is interesting, let's you foster your abilities and develop your characters over time, not having to focus on the main bosses the entire time and instead strengthen yourself for the evnetual curbstomping that only the 7 Heroes can provide. You don't have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I figured I'd give this one a try as an introduction to the SaGa series despite the mixed reviews because it was pretty cheap on sale and I read somewhere that this series took the leveling system from Final Fantasy 2 and further developed it, as well as that it was a pretty open world game that did not really hold your hand at all and just let you do whatever you wanted in whatever order you wanted, plus the whole gimmick about playing as a series of generations of characters because…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a bad PC port.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I dunno why this has mixed reviews its a SaGa game, they have wonky mechanics, perma death for your characters if you lose all your LP and wild wacky formations + skill combos. It looks great, runs great on the deck. Sounds fantastic. It was also never released in America and now we have it. HOW GLORIOUS IS THAT. 30 fps cap does make me weep tho. Not enough to stop me from enjoying it tho!

Characters revive/fully heal between battles, potions have to be equipped (1 per character per battle) and can revive someone who is down, the party leader is the only one who can order the party to flee and all characters have perma-death. Grinding is difficult and there are no random battles. Once you beat the boss of a dungeon, it is empty. So if you have to start over with a new…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really looking forward to this game, but I cannot justify supporting it in its current state. This is a very lazy port made clear by the lack of UI optimization for PC (the menus still have touch screen buttons for heaven's sake). I mainly purchased this to stream on my Twitch channel, but the game crashes my OBS whenever there is an achievement notification, and this does not happen for me with any other game I have purchased via Steam. There are bare minimum options under the settings…

It's a port of an exceedingly old game and while it may not be flash or anything it delivers everything i want from a port for the most part: Does it allow you to play the game in fullscreen? Yes! Not only that but i can maximise the window which has become my perfered way of playing it. Can you change the resolution? No! But this game is so old and the graphics so simple there is ABSOLUTELY NO CALL TOO! Or are you too…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game should be mentioned with Chrono Trigger and FF6 as the SNES rpg kings. Masterpiece. If you don't like it then I blame you for being weak, not the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's a reason one online periodical has called SaGa the most self-indulgent JRPG series of all time. And might I add, the most masochistic. SaGa is a polarizing series. While Unlimited SaGa for PS2 was widely considered one of the worst games on the console by American reviewers, a veritable train-wreck that gets just about everything wrong, there are still people on the internet who call it a gem, the reviewers just couldn't appreciate it for its rarified greatness (yeaaaaahhh, I'm not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Port is decent, alt+enter to go full screen but you should maximize the window before in order for it to go into full resolution. Controller support works if Steam recognizes it, so try it in Big Picture if you want to connect your controller first. Other than that, it's the same Romancing SaGa as the one on SNES, which means it doesn't play like a regular JRPG. Grinding will get you nowhere, it even makes everything worse. You have to take care of your resources and you have to be smart on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself seems fun enough, sadly the port is an atrocity that makes the game very hard to play. You have no options at all, need steam input to get your controller to work and if you tab out it sometimes forgets that your controller exists forever (until you restart the game that is).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is probably OK, but this is a terrible port. Nothing is labelled on the screen, you just have to assume you know where your TP and MP are. The movement is weird, feels a bit clunky when you try to run around. Sometimes the A button just goes rapid fire for no apparent reason. It's playable, but the game is frustrating enough without the bad GUI and terrible menu layout. If they are going to try and modernize the layout, at least make it better than the original. Not worse.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really great SaGa game, but you have to like SaGa games. You always do. You can't go playing SaGas if you want normal, if you want the standard JRPG experience. You play SaGa to confuse and upset you, and it does that well. Also, it's very surprising how much this game is basically a Roguelite considering how old it is.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Several enemies or combinations of enemies that you may face on a regular basis have attacks that can eliminate your entire party before you can act. This should never happen in an RPG. Failing to learn a certain skill will force you to either restart the game or face the final boss with an all female party (which may not even be possible if you picked a male lead at the start of the game). Otherwise you're looking at a charm attack that hits every male in your group, turning the last fight…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gave this plenty of time to win me over, but it really never did and I can't force myself to play it anymore. Some games are just better left in the past. This one especially because there is just no way that the remake isn't a clear improvement over this here original. Everything is quite bland. It's very easy to get lost and stumble into a fight that gets your whole party killed in a few turns. There is a lot here that is just frustrating to play through and nothing really good. Some of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A remarkable piece of gaming history that is definitely worth your time, if you can get past some of the funky stuff.

It would have been only my second requested refund ever on Steam, and the other game is also a Square re-release/port. I don't even mind that it's 30 FPS, but the screen jitters all over the place inconsistently enough to be maddening! How do you mess something up emulators mastered years ago? One of the few Steam games that makes my eyes bleed and head spin. It actually seems like a really cool game, but the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really not a fan of this one. Very light on story and very heavy on grinding. Doesn't actually explain mechanics ahead of time. Strange controls and very clearly a half-hearted port from some other system. Only check this one out if you are a collector of JRPGs or you want to grind xp in a game and watch a movie at the same time.

In this game you are the emperor of Avalon, a small country which you can expand by helping other countries and/or conquering lands that we're infested by monsters, and your Capital grows accordingly to your expansions and money you possess, getting access to more characters, features and classes. You have many areas and quests you can access in any order…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you have never played JRPGs before, this is probably not where you want to start. The dialogues are a little barebone and the mechanics are foreign at first, but once you get into it, it's a really great game. You have to be smart and it's challenging, perhaps not quite fair at times, but not much of an issue since you can save anywhere, anytime. As for the quality of the port: I have 0 complaint. Controller works like charm, no input lag,.. I am not sure what kind of options you'd want to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Now I know you're looking at those sprites and wondering if Romancing SaGa is some long-lost cousin to all those classic Final Fantasy games you know and love. Abandon this train of thought immediately. In fact, if you're in any way expecting a nuanced plot, developed characters or a linear structure, start mashing that "back" button as hard as you can. If you're impatient or easily discouraged, abandon all hope. The SaGa games hate you and they'll do everything in their power to ensure you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →EDIT: A patch recently was put out that removes the Android mobile UI from the game, as well as listing gamepad support in-game. I use a Steam Controller, so I didn't experience much of a difference. Glad to see the devs are quick and responsive to changes. Romancing SaGa 2 is in a fine form on Steam now! The SaGa series is one of the most experimental and intriguing RPG series out there. Romancing SaGa 2 is no exception. Nonlinearity and branching choices absolutely make this game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a game. It seems impossible that an RPG so intricate, complex, challenging and sophisticated came out in 1993. Definitely not for everyone, but an amazing treat for hardcore JRPG fans.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Romancing Saga 2 is a game designed by Akitoshi Kawazu. Like with all other SaGa games that he designs and produces, it is ideal to approach this kind of game NOT with a typical console JRPG mindset that one would expect to have when playing a game of this genre, but with instead a more TTRPG/CRPG mindset. The real drive of of the SaGa franchise is to explore it's vast, detailed world, and to let the story or "saga" build from there. It does give you a unique premise to start off with: you are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It takes a special kind of patience to enjoy this game. I'd recommend at least briefly looking over a guide to save yourself a lot of aggravation. Nothing is explained in game, many systems have hidden values and sometimes you are given zero direction on what to do. But for an SNES game this is pretty impressive in the openness in quest structure and how you can tackle it overall. It was way ahead of it's time. The most annoying thing for me is battles are not random and you can see enemies on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm finding it difficult to review Romancing SaGa 2. I ended up loving it, but only after I had read up on some key information about the game mechanics that would have taken my dumb ass forever to figure out without help, potentially long enough for me to quit early. I'm going to go through a couple of the things that I found to be important knowledge, so this is going to be a pretty ranty review. The music is excellent. In my 150+ hours of playing this game I never got sick of hearing it.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The 3 Romancing SaGa were the best of the SaGa series in my book. In a nut shell, you play as a vassal to acquire skills and knowledge to prepare for your confrontation against the so called 7 heroes and the ultimate evil. The mechanics is a little different here in that your "main character" is meant to pass on his/her essence to the next in line until you unlock the final emperor/empress. For those that get upset from "losing" your character... another way to look at it, you are playing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game. It has interesting classes/abilities, a unique progression system (for characters, not the XP base). Unfortunately, this is just too much for me. * You have no idea the difficulty of what you're walking into, difficulty wise. * The game seems to be based on the 'more battles = more difficulty', but this includes if you flee from battle * The enemies exist as characters on the map, and will disappear when you slay them. If you flee, they'll remain. So it's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let's get it out of the way: The port is sloppy as far as controls and interface go. The keyboard controls are nonsensical and not rebindable. I, like many, cannot get a controller to work. These are bad things. (Small edit: I've seen a lot of complaints about not being able to resize but at least for me that's never been a problem - I can fullscreen or window, and when windowed I can drag it around it the contents scale to the window) And yet for me none a dealbreaker. I'm a bit of a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's that RPG you always heard about but could never read, now on PC in a totally legal way. If your looking for a dirth of content from a highly ambitious SFC/SNES series, this isn't a bad choice. The game still holds up to the test of time, over two decades later. As quality as the game itself is, the port job itself is rather mediocre. As a delivery mechanism to get the game into your hands, it works. But don't expect any of the basic bells and whistles that you would want, the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shocked to see all the bad reviews for this game. It's great! Sure the UI that seems lifted straight from mobile isn't that aesthetically pleasing but every other aspect from the SFC original was ported fine to Steam. Essentially this game is a mix between your typical linear, narrative-centered JRPG gameplay and the more nonlinear, customizable WRPG gameplay, and it pulls that mixture off beautifully. It's a game that encourages experimentation and even restarting one's entire playthrough to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really good JRPG Its quite obtuse and requires a lot of time to properly learn the systems The story is okay nothing special but the journey is what matters in this game If needed use the new game+ helps a lot It has a lot of missable content so does have a lot of replayability as well Overall if you like opended games and/or Jrpgs you'll probably like this
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An obtuse game with rules that are vague and hard to understand, systems designed to annoy and punish you for not playing correctly, definitely one of the most difficult turn based games i have played, recommended for people wanting a challenge and a decent narrative spanning over generations TLDR: truly the romancing saga 2 of video games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FULL DISCLOSURE: I love SaGa games, flaws and all, and this is maybe my 2nd or 3rd favorite entry. I include a few tips to hopefully improve your experience for those who have not played this or other SaGa games at the end. Yes, there is some difficulty in this game that can be chalked up to SNES-era game design. In particular, there are a bunch of game systems that are not explained in-game, because all that stuff would have been explained in a physical manual that always came with these…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this SaGa game ^^. I know it has "mixed" reviews, but I want to try and help anyone that is on the fence about this one after reading the negative reviews. When you load up the game the window is very tiny, there is no resolution change in the settings, but all you need to do is just drag the window larger and the game remembers that aspect ration every time. It's the same with Romancing SaGa 3 and SaGa Scarlet Grace, the game remembers whatever aspect ratio you last used the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game will not appeal to everyone, and for anyone looking for a finely polished Square JRPG, this may not be for you. This game is an interesting and primordial open-world JRPG experiment, and if you can appreciate this open-ended series for what it IS rather than for what it is not, this game may be for you. Admittedly, the $25 price tag is STEEP. This is a $15 game, or even a $10 game, at best. Especially since it is not optimized for Steam and is a mobile port. Though, I was delighted…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite being a straight up mobile port, it is very much worth a purchase. Especially if you are looking for a not so standard JRPG. Very open sandboxy type of game, where you aren't really told where to go and you just explore and do ♥♥♥♥ on your own. There is no standard leveling system and grinding is discouraged. It has the most satisfying skill system. There is no better feeling than sparking a new skill. Dying in this game is to be expected because of the heir system. I've only played and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The SaGa series is a great RPG series full of depth and exploration and Romancing SaGa 2 shows this incredibly well. The generational stuff is interesting and provides a lot of customization. I would say if you aren't really experienced in RPGs you shouldn't play this game, it's hard and if you don't know what you are doing you will die a lot. Overall a great port (It being in English is a big part of it) I wasn't a big fan of the visuals at first, but I can appreciate that they are way more…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are interested in Saga series, play Romancing Saga 3 first and it gives you great experience. This game is too hardcore compare with all other series, even harder than Eterian Oddsey. But, this kind of difficulty cannot stop a Saga fan like me.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an English port of a jRPG from 1993 that didn't get a worldwide release until 2016. Romancing SaGa 2 does not hold your hand. It rarely tells you where to go, instead giving you the general objective of "build up your empire and gain strength so you and your descendants can someday stand a chance against the villains". This is good. Having the freedom to explore makes the world feel very open. Sometimes the chancellor of your castle notifies you of crises happening in various parts of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Romancing Saga 2 is one of the better JRPGs during the SFC era in Japan. The story and lore is not the focus but rather building your characters and upgrading your castle through generations. Also, another major part of the game is unlocking jobs through scenarios/quests which there is a possibility of failing if you grind for too long or didn't meet certian conditions. However, this version has a new game plus mode where you can restart anytime. Also, you can save anytime. The port is not as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →5 hours in and it's running great. No crashes and my controller (Logitech) works nicely. This is a really interesting JRPG that's decades ahead of its time. The game is fairly light on story with a much bigger focus on gameplay. The battles are intense, even random encounters sometimes. It encourages you to manage your assets and your kingdom in order to gain power, rather than just mindless grinding, which the game punishes. If you like micromanaging characters, highly open-ended exploration,…
