What it is
Conception 2: Children of the Seven Stars is a role-playing game by Spike Chunsoft, set in Aterra, a world facing decades of monster attacks. You play a new Disciple, one of the people gifted with powers to purify monsters. Your task is to form bonds with seven powerful girls and create Star Children, who join the fight. At the academy, you can build relationships with the girls and interact with other Disciples; stronger bonds lead to more powerful Star Children and stronger heroines in battle. The game sends your party into dusk circles, labyrinths filled with enemies and traps that change each time you enter. Fight alongside the heroines and Star Children to clear them. Star Children can take on classes with different skills and attacks. The game is single-player and also lists Steam Achievements, Trading Cards, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, and DualShock and partial controller support. It is available on Windows, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation Vita; the Steam release is for Windows.
