Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Most
adventure games send players into pre-built dungeons
where monsters are battled and treasure chests are
jostled open. Taito's Chronicle of Dungeon Maker
2 twists it all around and presents a game
that's somewhat reminiscent of Game Arts' Chaos Seed
(Sega Saturn, 1997) where the player builds dungeons
from scratch instead of spelunking within them. As a
master architect and builder, the player erects the
labyrinthine corridors of an underground dungeon and
subsequently waits at least a night for it to be
populated with monsters. Since beastly creatures are
naturally attracted to dank and well designed
dungeons, luring them doesn't take much effort. Once
they're in and roaming through the halls, attack and
destroy the monsters to abscond their treasures.
Personal dungeons may be traded with other players through ad hoc
mode and the game features a simple attack scheme to send a sword swinging
and magic blazing. When
visiting a dungeon, players may choose the type
of equipment and weapons to bring which affects the
performance in battle. Traps may also be set to even out the odds
against groups of monsters. As the fame of a builder
grows, town folk will visit him and request certain
items where the task is to design a dungeon that
will attract the type of monster
that would likely carry such an item. Creatures that
venture into the dungeons range from feral wolves to
massive dragons. The game features over 400 items
that may be used and equipped such as suits of
armor, gauntlets, leggings, and helms.

From the
Publisher
Action RPG dungeon game bringing an all new
sensation
This is an action RPG with the middle ages-like
fantasy as the theme. The main character is a
builder. A normal RPG requires the exploring of
dungeons and fighting monsters to acquire gold and
items, but the main character of this game has to
build a dungeon on owned land to attract monsters to
move in, and then defeat them to acquire various
items. The battle action with the monsters uses a
special combat system that anybody can easily get
the hang of. As long as the combat target is locked
on, press the respective action buttons to activate
attacks. But victory is not so easily gained as to
diminish the gaming fun, as the relationships
between the opponents have to be considered in
combat too.
Play anytime anyplace and bring everywhere
Each time of playing requires only five to ten
minutes. Dungeon exploring RPGs of the past require
long periods of time to explore the dungeons and
rise in levels, and then the final defeat of the
boss to complete a stage. While this game adopts a
mission mode, each time only a small part of the
mission has to completed. And so even when out on
trips or going to work, this game can be played in a
relaxing manner.
Highly strategic use of tactics
The player has to choose the most appropriate
equipment among the rich selection to determine the
combat strength. Twenty types of items are estimated
to be able to be equipped. For example, for armour
alone, it is separated in breast armour, shoulder
armour and others. The choice of equipment is also a
selling point of this game. Besides this and the use
of magic to create spaces to attract monsters to
reside, tactical considerations also include things
like the placing of traps in rooms to deal serious
blows to monsters.
