VGStorm would like to welcome you once again to the world of Manamon! Manamon 2, like its predecessor, is a turnbased roleplaying game in which you capture various feral monsters you find around the world and use them to help you complete the brand new storyline. It features a new online system which will allow you to trade and battle your friends to determine which of you is the stronger Manamon Tamer, all without messing with your router's firewall or sharing your IP address!

Storyline

In the world of Manamon, children between the ages of 10 and 14 embark on a journey to challenge the 7 stadium leaders in their country. Once those stadium keys are collected, the challenger may proceed to challenge the Master's Stadium with the goal of becoming the Manamon Master.

Though most start their journey right away at age 10, you were regretably unable to start your journey, but now, some years later, it is finally time! You will travel across the vast drought-ravaged country of Kiarre, collecting the 7 stadium keys in order to become the master!

But wait! Who is this strange man calling himself Eshcon? Could he be the one to save Kiarre from its years-long drought? What are these strange creatures called Hyper forms?

As you travel, you will meet many new and interesting characters and quickly find yourself in the middle of a saga that goes far beyond merely collecting stadium keys.

Manamon 2's storyline is not a sequel to Manamon 1's directly, though it does contain sequel elements. You can play Manamon and Manamon 2 in any order, with each shedding light on the other. Manamon 2 takes place around 3 years after the original game. Any relevant events from the first Manamon game are explained as if you are unfamiliar with them.

If you're not sure where to start, you can't go wrong if you begin your Manamon adventure with Manamon 2.
