About This Game

The King of Siralim, tainted by an unknown force, has brought war to the lands of Rodia, capturing all of the country's kingdoms and slaughtering their people in the process. Now, only one kingdom remains that can stand against this unlikely adversary: Nex. As the king (or queen) of Nex, it is your job to fight back against Siralim's tyranny and return peace to Rodia once more.

Announcing Siralim 2: Trials of the Gods!

I'm very excited to finally announce Siralim 2's FREE, upcoming content expansion patch: Trials of the Gods!

You might have expected a few roleplay-esque paragraphs that reveal some sort of backstory for this expansion, but we all know that no one cares about that kind of stuff anyway. Instead, let's get straight to the point and list the expansion's main features:

• Challenge the gods to battle. Emerge victorious and you may earn the right to transform your Nether Creatures into powerful avatars of your favorite gods.
• A new type of quest that is sure to entertain and reward players for many more hours to come.
• Spell Gem customization, along with brand new spell gem properties.
• 2 new creature races for each of the 5 classes for a total of 60 new creatures. This also means there will be new traits, materials, sigils, cards, and more.
• 100 new spells, many of which bring completely new battle mechanics to the game.
• A way to visually customize your creatures.
• New achievements, because 500+ is nowhere near enough.

From now until the time the patch is released, I'll be detailing the features included in this patch in our development blog. Check back often for new updates! While I'll put great effort into releasing these posts every Monday, real life events have temporarily prevented me from being able to work on a consistent schedule, so don't be surprised if a few of them end up being a bit late.

I am incredibly proud of all the new content coming with this patch. There are enough things in store to keep even our veteran players busy for hundreds of extra hours, and I think you'll soon agree that these are some of the finest additions the Siralim series has ever seen.

Siralim 2 Review - Have Another Scoop of the Good Stuff

No matter how you slice it, making a sequel to Siralim [Free] was always going to be a tough job. The original game is essentially an overstuffed endless pit of RPG joy, densely packed with enough systems, side content, and additional challenges to keep any genre fan busy for dozens of hours or more. In hindsight, it was almost an impossible achievement. It was developer Thylacine's first stab at the genre, and it was extremely unconventional. Mixing elements of monster-catching, base-building, and roguelikes, it was like someone made a delicious Shin Megami Tensei - Romancing SaGa - Rogue sandwich and somehow pulled that blend off with only a few minor hitches. Excellent post-release support ironed out just about all of the game's issues, leaving one to wonder what exactly a sequel could accomplish.

[...]

That leaves us with a bit of dilemma. Siralim 2 is not going to be enjoyable for everyone. Even among RPG fans, I think it will leave a large percentage cold with its mechanical complexity and lack of attention to things like characters and plot. But those who can get into it will find a limitless bounty, gameplay measured out in not just dozens of but more than a hundred hours. So I again reiterate: go and try out the free portion of the first game. If you like it even the smallest bit, go pick up Siralim 2 right away. You're not likely to regret it.

Score: 4,5/5

Popzara has reviewed the monster catching RPG Siralim 2:

Siralim 2 Game Review

Monster-collecting games were in vogue for awhile in the late 90s and early 2000s, and the genre’s never really gone away since then. Those were the halcyon days of catching ’em all, though; Pokémon was hot, but we also saw plenty of me-too games that had high points of their own to distinguish themselves from that venerable series. Siralim 2 feels like it would be fit in back in those days as a worthy successor to the monster-wrangling throne.

[...]

You can craft gear, engage in randomly-generated boss battles, gamble, cook food for buffs…the list of possibilities is endless, and each offers a way to get a leg up on your opponents. In a way, Siralim 2 represents a fusion between the monster-collecting gameplay of Pokémon or Dragon Quest Monsters and the endless potential of a Nippon Ichi Software game. It’s a match made in heaven, really.
