Standard Super Famicom version of Brandish 2 The Planet Buster, the sequel to Falcom's continuous-rotation dungeon crawler, never localised outside Japan. SFC cardboard box and spine card, singular atmosphere and a new playable heroine. A cult import for fans of Falcom and demanding isometric action-RPGs, more sought than its Expert revision. A complete copy with intact spine is the target; loose stays accessible in Japan.
Is Brandish 2 - The Planet Buster still worth playing in 2026?
A sequel to Falcom's rotating dungeon action RPG, Brandish 2 refines the rotation concept and fleshes out exploration with new traps, spells and secret passages. Readability and comfort improve on the first outing while keeping its singular tactical identity. The system stays disorienting and the difficulty sustained. An excellent follow-up for fans of demanding Japanese action RPGs and the curious about Falcom's Super Famicom craft.
