What was Defense Witches 2?
Announced during the fifth anniversary, Defense Witches 2 was the sequel only released in Japan (despite plans to release overseas) This game was only released for a short while, not even reaching it's first-year anniversary before the game shut down.
While not much was known about the story (and I think only 3 or 4 areas were released before the game shut down) from the official Twitter page (err x), it seemed like the game was originally going to go with three main protagonists Mint (girl in pink) Felt (girl with the hat) (also take these two names with a grain of salt I'm not positive I'm going based off google translate) and Cornet (who needs no introduction)
The main girls from the first game were also brought over now a year older :D
There seems to be a new villain whos this girl (idk her name)
(Edit) Her name is Celesta, and she is Cornet's Older Sister. Thank you @defense-witches for the information
Now what was new in Defense Witches 2?
A GACHA system for gaining access to new characters, leveling up characters, gaining equipment/pets, and more.
A class system for character organization (year 1, year 2, year 3, other)
An equipment system (yes for each individual character)
A world map where stages were posted (credit to one of the dw2 artists)
new place management system for the witches where they disappear if not on a purple square after cooldown is done (year 1 & 2)
Adding onto the top point there's a new character what adds more purple spaces
Witches (3rd years and Others) usually only allow for placement of one of them on the map
Events offering rewards for characters, equipment, or pets (seasonal offered limited-time characters)
What Didn't Make It Into The Game? (But Was Revealed)
Given Felt and her sister were revealed as explosion types, Tiana might of played a bigger role (she is also one of the few original special witches to get a character redesign)
Chiara and a lot of the older witches were released after the initial release via updates however Lyra never made it into the game
They teased special moves that never made it in-game
I'll be posting more about the character that did make it into the game and some of the in-game manga at a later date
