Reviews

“A great story paired with gorgeous 8-bit graphics, fun enemies, & a super catchy soundtrack took me back to when I was a teen, spending all my time playing RPGs on the NES & SNES. Only this time, it is even better…”
10/10 – GameGrin

“8-Bit Adventures 2 is the ideal sequel, and it’s just as easy to jump into without knowing anything about the first game...Between a fantastic story with endearing, well-written characters and combat that utilizes every feature available, the game is perfect for any JRPG fan.”
8.5/10 – TechRaptor

“The characters were very memorable & had lovingly written dialogue with distinct styles for everyone. As well as the Glitch being a very fleshed-out Villain. The game shines the brightest in its combat, & exploration of the varied & unique locales…It is an easy recommendation due to its classical yet thrilling journey.”
9/10 – Lords of Gaming

About This Game

A Turn-Based RPG That's More Than a Throwback!

8-Bit Adventures 2 is everything you love about NES, SNES and PS1-era JRPGs - with all of the charm, heart and soul, but none of the inconvenience.

That means an earnest, engaging storyline; relatable, easy-to-love characters; strategic turn-based battles; deep party customisation; bizarre monsters; an unforgettable soundtrack; and a large, fantastical world, traversed by Airship, and filled with people full of personality – all brought to life by vibrant 8-Bit inspired visuals.

While it may be a sequel, anyone can jump into this brand new JRPG adventure!
And you can play the Free Demo right now!



  • Enjoy a feel-good adventure filled with love, laughs, and drama, which deals with the dark stuff but always wants to leave you feeling uplifted over its 30-40 hour playtime.

  • Experience constant variety – everything from exploring ancient ruins to solving a robot murder mystery – realised through charming pixel art which walks the line between authenticity and aesthetic.

  • Explore an expansive World Map filled with secrets and optional locations to discover; both on-foot and via Airship! The world of 8-Bit Adventures 2 is full of the character-driven side-quests and challenging Super Boss battles that any RPG fan expects.



  • Engage in turn-based JRPG battles with depth and strategy, inspired by games like Final Fantasy X, Chrono Trigger, and Mother 3.

  • Freely swap allies in combat, equip Augments to customise your characters, and unleash 99 unique abilities, including Team Attacks and Omega Burst finishing moves.

  • Meet a lovable cast of seven playable characters who form relationships, make mistakes, and struggle with their past, but still work to save the world and overcome their demons.



  • Relax with a carefully crafted adventure which never bogs the player down, but ensures you're always doing something fun and meaningful. From beginning to end, 8-Bit Adventures 2 is focused on telling an engaging story, not wasting your time - and that means no random battles or mandatory grinding!

  • Become engrossed in an earnest, heartfelt story about living a full life and protecting the things that really matter - no cynicism, meta-narrative, or classic game parody in sight.

  • Save the world from a vengeful Glitch! A mistreated child with terrifying powers threatens to reshape the world in his own chaotic image. A unique and persistent foe from beginning to end, the Glitch changes and develops over the course of the story like any other character, grappling with what he is…and what he could be.
