I had just started getting back into the original manamon, having no
idea there was a manamon 2 in the works. That's so awesome!
Unfortunately, finances won't allow me to buy the game in the near
future, but I'm at least going to play through the demo.

Manamon is back and ready to take you on a brand new adventure!
Manamon, released in July of 2016, was an innovative fully featured
roleplaying game for the blind. It featured over 150 collectable
creatures, and over 200 different skills for these creatures to use in
combat.
Now, after 3 and a half years of silence, I would like to introduce
you to Manamon 2: The Eternal Requiem. It features over 140 new
creatures to tame and collect, and over 150 new skills for these
creatures. All the old creatures have been slightly updated to conform
to the new experience, including slight stat boosts and a couple of
the new moves!
Manamon 2 does not assume you have played the first game, and offers a
basic tutorial to assist new players with the unique map navigation
system.
Storyline
In the world of Manamon, children between the ages of 10 and 14 embark
on a journey to challenge the 7 stadium leaders in their country. Once
those stadium keys are collected, the challenger may proceed to
challenge the Master's Stadium with the goal of becoming the Manamon
Master.
Though most start their journey right away at age 10, you were
regretably unable to start your journey, but now, some years later, it
is finally time!
You will travel across the vast drought ravaged country of Kiarre,
collecting the 7 stadium keys in order to become the master!
But wait! Who is this strange man calling himself Eshcon? Could he be
the one to save Kiarre from its years long drought? What are these
strange creatures called Hyper forms?
As you travel, you will meet many new and interesting characters and
quickly find yourself in the middle of a saga that goes far beyond
merely collecting stadium keys.
Manamon 2's storyline is not exactly a sequel storyline, though it
does contain sequel elements. You can play Manamon and Manamon 2 in
any order, though, with each shedding light on the other. Manamon 2
takes place around 3 years after the original game. Any relevant
events from the first Manamon game are explained as if you are
unfamiliar with them.
Features
149 new Manamon creatures, for a total of 307 Manamon.
About 400 attacks these manamon can learn.
A brand new country with tons of all new areas to explore.
The complex turn based battle system from Manamon 1 makes a return.
A unique system of straight forward navigation which was first
introduced in the game Paladin of the Sky.
Over 140 pieces of equipment you can give your Manamon to make them stronger.
Over 100 different special abilities, and every single manamon has one
creating even more unpredictable and diverse battles.
Creative sound design making all of the cities, caves, and battles come alive.
An online system which will allow you to battle and trade with your
friends without needing to exchange IP addresses or forward ports!
An online battle recorder which allows you to relive noteworthy battles.
A few postgame surprises, including the ability to rebattle all the
stadium leaders.
Self voicing using SAPI 5 compatible voices.
An improved sapi mode that makes sluggish voices much more usable.
Though not recommended, players requiring NVDA support can enable it.
Slight changes to the type effectiveness chart and to some Manamon 1
attacks for greater balance.
After completing the game, you can bring over your Manamon 1 friends
to your Manamon 2 game!
And much, much more for you to discover!
Demo limitations
Manamon 2, like its predecessor, is shareware, and can be picked up
for $39.95 on the vgstorm website, see below.
The game does, however, offer an expansive demo mode that will allow
you to get a feel for the game. You will be able to reach the third
stadium for free.
The game will not allow you to use any of the online features,
however, until you've purchased the full version. You are also unable
to use the Pocket Copter item to visit previous areas in the game.
Apart from these limitations, the game's entire feature set up to the
third stadium is available.

behind you, or a brand new player ready to experience the world of
Manamon for the first time, I hope you enjoy Manamon 2: the Eternal
Requiem!
