A new life awaits you in Honeywood! After washing onto the island's shores, you'll find yourself the newly minted owner to a humble plot of land. Pull up your sleeves, grab your tools, and get to work building a farm that will last not only a lifetime, but span generations!
Echoes of Plum Grove is a casual, cozy farm simulator where your decisions have consequences! What to plant, what to stock for the winter, and who to befriend will shape not only the town of Honeywood, but the island itself.

Winter brings new levels of danger to players. With your very survival at stake, you'll have to work your land, fish the sea, cook meals, craft, forage, and more to ensure you make it through the cold season. Should you neglect to prepare, your lineage could end before anyone can uncover the island's secrets.
While your main focus should be on survival, the town of Honeywood puts its best festive foot forward with many celebrations taking place.

Honeywood may be a cozy hamlet, where the people are the heart of the town. Everyone who lives on the island has their own schedules, jobs, traits, hobbies, and children.
Work together with your fellow townsfolk to forge an even greater community - or just get them out of the way with harsh words and drastic measures.

Building relationships is at the core of Echoes of the Plum Grove. As you grow your family tree and your original character perishes, you'll find yourself playing as someone else within your family!
While building relationships is crucial to your experience, take time to explore the island. There are many mysteries to uncover. Some say there's a witch that lives on the island and brings to town strange items. Others swear they've heard something coming from the bay. A few wonder what exists at the bottom of the mines. Adventure to the edges of the island to see what Echoes of Plum Grove has in store for you!

Find a piece of land where you could build your home. You start as a simple farmer or a hunter, but after you gain more experience, learn and hone your skills, you can become the head of a prospering town. Design, build and improve your house - from a simple hut to an extensive farm. Convince people to join your village. Find your true love and create a family, ensuring the continuity of your dynasty. Play solo or team up with friends and explore the beautiful but harsh medieval world in the Co-Op Mode together.

An expansive, open world awaits you. Face hot summer months and cold winters and make sure that neither you nor your people lack anything.

It is in your hands: Without the right tools, you won't get far – whether you're hunting, chopping trees, harvesting or building. But watch out for wear and tear so that your pickaxe doesn't become unusable in the middle of nowhere.

Live and learn: Develop your character, specialize, or become a true jack-of-all-trades as you interact with NPCs, care for your family, explore the lush world, or complete tasks for others.

Start a village: You are a town planner, builder and warden all in one! Co-ordinate the layout, manage the residents, gather resources, produce goods and trade to help the community grow and prosper.

The medieval world, with its dangers and gorgeous surroundings is in your reach!

Realistic Open World: Explore two expansive maps, the Valley (Solo) and The Oxbow (Solo and Co-Op) in a beautiful open world.
Cooperative Multiplayer: Team up with up to 4 friends for a cooperative gaming experience.

Structural and Interior Diversity: Create a diverse range of over 25 buildings, from humble shacks to sturdy stone houses, and personalize them with a selection of over 120 furniture and decoration pieces.
Extensive Crafting: Craft 300+ pieces, including weapons, tools, furniture, and clothing.
Wildlife Interaction: Encounter wolves, boars, deer, wisent and more wild animals populating the forests.
Survival Mechanics: Monitor your food, water, health, and stamina levels.
Skill Tree: Develop your character by buying new skills.
Unique Events: Experience dynamic events and decisions with direct gameplay impact.
Quests and Economy: Engage in quests, trade, and economic activities.
Social Dynamics and Family Building: Create connections with NPCs, establish your own family, and develop relationships that may lead to the joy of parenthood in the game and provide you the opportunity to pass your legacy on to the next generation.

Save Your Empire. Defend Your Legacy.

Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a full remake of the groundbreaking non-linear RPG Romancing SaGa 2, which originally launched in Japan in 1993.
Embark on an adventure featuring both new and classic SaGa franchise features, complete with Japanese and English voiceovers, original and rearranged compositions, and much more! This is an ideal entry point for new players and provides an amped-up experience for longtime fans.

STORY

The Seven Heroes were once hailed as saviors, but the ancients feared their power and banished them to another dimension. It was foretold that they would return to save the world once more...

Thousands of years have passed, and the heroes have become legend. Furious that humankind has forgotten their many sacrifices, they have now returned as villains bent on revenge.

As legions of monsters swarm the world, take on the role of Ruler of the Empire of Varennes. Defend your legacy across successive generations, expand your realm and defeat the vengeful Seven Heroes one by one!

KEY FEATURES

Characters & Imperial Succession
Join forces with characters from over 30 different classes featuring a wide variety of professions and races, each with their own favored weapons, unique abilities, and effective tactics. Choose the next Emperor from this wide pool of candidates, each eligible to inherit the throne and become the next protagonist.
The knowledge and abilities of previous rulers are passed down to the next through the mystical art of inheritance magic, forging a lasting bond between you and your chosen characters.

Free-Form Scenario
The game presents a unique story structure that offers a vast array of narrative experiences in response to your choices and which objectives you tackle first—from how you expand the Empire to what order you challenge the Seven Heroes. Your actions and decisions will dramatically alter the course of the Emperor's journey.

Combat
The strategic turn-based battle system of the original has been further enhanced to a timeline system. Enjoy all the classic SaGa mechanics like "Glimmers," where you learn new abilities whilst in the heat of battle, and "Formations," which provide unique benefits to the retinue based on composition. Furthermore, the remake welcomes the new "United Attack" feature to perform combination attacks with your retinue members to turn the tide of battle!

About the Game

STORY

KEY FEATURES

Graphics
The 2D pixel sprites of the original game are now modeled in full 3D while retaining their charming, familiar appearances based on the beautiful concept illustrations by Tomomi Kobayashi. All towns and dungeons are now also fully rendered with reworked terrains and layouts.

Difficulty Settings
Select from one of three difficulty levels to match your preferred playstyle, from Casual, Normal, to Hard (Classic).
Casual offers a story-focused experience with less emphasis on battle, while Normal is recommended for veteran RPG players looking for a balanced game. Hard (Classic) is perfect for players looking for the brutal but satisfying challenge of the original 1993 version.

Music & Voices
Kenji Ito, the composer for the original Romancing SaGa 2, returns with a vengeance to present a beautiful soundtrack full of new arrangements! The music can be toggled between the original and new versions from the Options screen.
