Phantom Rose 2: Sapphire is a refined and deeply strategic roguelike deckbuilder that builds confidently on the foundations of the original while carving out a strong identity of its own. Developed by makaroll and published by PLAYISM, the game places players in the role of Aria, a magic academy student navigating a school overrun by mysterious Phantoms. Rather than leaning on heavy exposition, the game uses its setting as an atmospheric backdrop, allowing the player’s repeated runs, encounters, and failures to gradually reveal a world caught between routine student life and creeping supernatural danger. What immediately sets Phantom Rose 2: Sapphire apart from other deckbuilders is its rejection of traditional card draw randomness. Instead of drawing cards from a shuffled deck, every card is always available, governed by a cooldown system that determines when it can be used again. This single design decision fundamentally reshapes how combat feels. Success depends far less on luck and far more on sequencing, timing, and long-term planning. Each turn becomes a tactical puzzle where the order of actions matters just as much as the actions themselves, rewarding players who think several moves ahead and understand how their deck functions as a complete system rather than a collection of powerful individual cards. Combat unfolds in a turn-based structure where enemy intentions are clearly telegraphed, giving players the information needed to plan defensively or aggressively. This transparency pairs beautifully with the cooldown system, encouraging deliberate decision-making rather than reactive play. Cards interact through synergies, conditional effects, and positional advantages, especially as tougher enemies and bosses introduce multi-phase encounters that test endurance and adaptability. Battles often feel closer to solving a complex board game scenario than simply overpowering foes, and victories are satisfying because they stem from understanding mechanics rather than exploiting chance. Deck construction is supported by a robust and varied card pool, with hundreds of cards gradually unlocked through play. Different classes dramatically alter how the game is approached, with each one introducing unique mechanics and strategic priorities. Switching classes does not simply change numbers or animations; it forces a complete rethink of how cooldowns, resources, and enemy pressure are managed. This variety ensures that repeated runs remain fresh, as strategies that feel dominant in one class may be ineffective or even dangerous in another. Progression follows a roguelike structure that respects the player’s time. Runs are self-contained, but each attempt contributes to a growing understanding of card interactions, enemy patterns, and optimal deck sizes. Permanent unlocks expand future options without trivializing difficulty, preserving the tension that makes each decision meaningful. Additional modes, such as challenge-focused encounters and customizable rule sets, further extend replayability, allowing players to fine-tune the experience to their preferred level of difficulty and experimentation. Visually, Phantom Rose 2: Sapphire adopts a clean, anime-inspired art style that balances charm with an undercurrent of unease. Character designs are expressive without being overly ornate, and environments evoke a familiar school setting subtly distorted by supernatural elements. The soundtrack reinforces this mood, blending calm melodies with more ominous tones during combat, creating an atmosphere that supports both strategic focus and emotional immersion. While the presentation is not flashy, it is cohesive and purposeful, ensuring that visuals never distract from gameplay clarity. Narratively, the game takes a restrained approach, allowing story elements to surface organically through events, character interactions, and environmental details encountered during runs. Rather than delivering a single linear plot, it presents fragments that slowly build a larger picture of the academy and the forces threatening it. This approach complements the roguelike structure well, making repeated playthroughs feel like different perspectives on the same unfolding mystery rather than simple retries. Ultimately, Phantom Rose 2: Sapphire excels because it trusts its core systems and its players. It offers depth without overwhelming complexity, challenge without unfairness, and replayability without artificial padding. For fans of deckbuilding roguelikes who value strategy, consistency, and meaningful choice over randomness, it stands as one of the more thoughtfully designed entries in the genre. Its mechanics reward patience and planning, making each successful run feel earned, and its systems are strong enough to support dozens of hours of experimentation without losing their appeal. Rating: 8/10

Wish they kept working on this game to add some more variety/content because it's a really fun time killer. There's a huge amount of unlockables and multiple stages of difficulty/gamemodes you can play with but I wish there was more specifically in card types. I also wish I could view the story images and export them like how you can do with some other images and skins you unlock. Story seems all over the place and ends on a cliffhanger sooooo it is what it is. SURELYYYY a third game will get it all. There is a "premium currency" that people talk about but you can earn it easily through playing so I just view it as another thing for progression or if you want to spend just to support the dev.

+Nice art, cute protagonist with many costume ( use in-game currency ) +Great character design for main & sub character +Great style UI & easy to understand +Really Interesting story +Many skill variation as fast build, echo skill build, debuff build, etc. and have 2 classes to enjoying with = Limited skin ( It'll be rerun on each their respective month April, September and December, so if you play on that month u will get it eventually // there's 3 limited skin right now. ) = There's mobile version too ( It's free but has skin & some other feature as microtransaction, so you can tried it as a demo and if you interested you can buy it on pc ! ) -Skill icon is hard to understand, so It hard to remember by just looking at it and have to read it again & again. I just found this game and having fun with it. Keep doing a good work, hope this game got an attention too :)
