About

The sequel to the original Sega Saturn system seller (in Japan at least) becomes one of the Saturn's last great hurrahs. Head back to early 1900's Tokyo as Oogami Ichirou, a naval commander who's now become the last line of defense against the demons that stalk the capital. The all-female cast from the original returns in full, joined by two additional members. The grid-based strategy battles from the original are improved with better spell attacks and cleaner graphics, while the "LIPS" interactive conversation sequences feature better production values, color depth and a few additional twists on interactivity.
