Softmax deliver a Korean action JRPG with manga visuals and a combat system built on attack counter-timing and Kan management. Demanding, sometimes rough, but the HACCAN art and dreamy soundtrack make it an endearing curio for informed fans.

Description
RPG by Softmax and Banpresto, Korea August 2009. Knight Zephie and allies battle the corrupt Lanzheim-oppressing empire in a fantasy world. Real-time team formation combat, complex characters and political storyline. Korean version known in the West as MagnaCarta 2.
The Korean edition of MagnaCarta II, a Softmax action-RPG with a manga look and a combat system built on the off-beat timing of strikes and Kan management, in its original language. A sequel to a flagship of Korean development, this title embodies the ambition of a major RPG conceived and written locally. Desirability rests on its standing as a substantial Korean production and on the value of the local version for those who favour the original intent and language.
