Published and licensed by AMATA Games, the follow-up to the studio’s 2024 Dungeon Antiqua continues to blend old-school RPG design with SNES-style presentation.
Background and release
Dungeon Antiqua 2 first launched on Steam in January 2026 and today expands to consoles with simultaneous releases for Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The console edition is listed at £8.99 / $10.99 on each platform, with a 15% launch discount available through September 2, 2026.
On Steam the game currently holds a “Very Positive” rating based on 271 user reviews.
Gameplay and design
Shirofumu Factory frames Dungeon Antiqua 2 as a throwback to classic Japanese RPGs, emphasizing pixel art and chiptune sound design reminiscent of SNES-era titles.
The sequel offers six dungeons to explore and extends the original’s job system with two additional classes — a monk and an archer — bringing the total to ten playable jobs.
Structurally the game mixes elements familiar to fans of Wizardry and classic Final Fantasy installments: players build and manage a party from a central hub town where supplies and equipment are purchased, then tackle top-down dungeons featuring turn-based combat.
Exploration is constrained by a fog-of-war mechanic that limits visible map areas and makes cautious party movement necessary to avoid surprise encounters with enemies ranging from hobgoblins to oversized wildlife.
Critical reception
In press coverage, Shack News awarded Dungeon Antiqua 2 an 8 out of 10.
Shack News contributor Lucas White described the title as a novel combination of Wizardry-style systems with Final Fantasy-like visuals and combat, and highlighted the game’s job system as bearing similarities to Final Fantasy V’s multiclassing approach — a design that, in White’s view, helps the title stake a claim as a promising indie RPG series.
Availability and platforms
Dungeon Antiqua 2 is available now on Nintendo Switch via the eShop, on PlayStation 5, and on Xbox Series X|S.
The game’s Steam release in January 2026 remains the primary PC storefront listing.
For players tracking indie RPG developments and console port activity, Dungeon Antiqua 2 represents another example of small studios bringing retro-inspired, turn-based experiences to modern platforms.
