Facts from the source article.
Gameplay
The gameplay closely resembles that of the preceding game. Players guide Kabuki and other party members across a large top-down overworld, visiting towns and dungeons while engaging randomly encountered enemies in turn-based combat. Battles use a third-person perspective similar to contemporary Final Fantasy games. Magic is found rather than learned and can be freely swapped between characters.
Story
Long ago, the Fire Clan defeated the dark lord Masakado. Years later, the Daimon Cult attempted to resurrect him but was stopped by the thief Ziria and other Fire Clan descendants. Kabuki Danjūrō, a flamboyant kabuki performer who aided the hero Manjimaru against the guardians of the Dark Orchids, receives a letter from Orochimaru, a hero from the battle against the Daimon Cult. The cult has kidnapped several young women, and Kabuki abandons his acting career to rescue them. His journey takes him across Jipang and, for the first time in the series, to a comedic version of London.
