The folks over at Siliconera recently got a chance to test-drive "Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom," which gave them the opportunity to get a taste of the gameplay. As per the publication, while "Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom" sets itself apart from its most recent predecessors, it does pay homage to the early installments.
It has a version of the kingdom builder from "Dark Cloud" where gamers will build facilities like building farms, blacksmiths, armories, and spell workshops among many others. It is not as expansive as the one on the older game, but it does represent a significant portion of the player's journey in the game.
Siliconera adds that there are side quests in "Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom" that almost always involve recruiting people, which is, of course, how players will get the population of their kingdom from.
"Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom" follows the story of Evan Pettywhisker Tildrum, a young ruler Ding Dong Dell as he strives to reclaim his kingship after being dethroned via a treacherous coup.
In "Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom," players can explore "a beautifully crafted world filled with exotic locations, a wide cast of characters to encounter, dangerous foes, and plenty of allies eager to help. Supporting Evan on his adventure will be natural phenomena known as Higgledies."
