Phantom Rose 2 Sapphire Releasing in October

Playism announced that developer makaroll’s Phantom Rose 2 Sapphire will release on October 30, 2023. The roguelike deckbuilder, which features a draw-less combat mechanic, will be available for PC and Mac via Steam. It is a follow-up to 2019 title Phantom Rose, and its first public demo will be available at this year’s PAX West.

Phantom Rose 2 Sapphire is set in a world where Phantoms constantly threaten its populace. The game follows Aria, who wakes up in an empty classroom with no memories and only a Marian Magic Academy student card in her pocket. Players can select the Blade or Mage class, each with its own unique cards and mechanics; encounter other survivors who may provide assistance; and collect over 200 cards by defeating phantoms and rescuing others. In addition to the main adventure, an Arcade Mode lets players take on bosses for rewards and Custom Mode lets them create their own challenges.
