Battle World 2: Ancient Dragon

Power Battlers: Fallen Dragons 2 (パワー·バトラーズ: フォーレン·ドラゴンズ2) is an RPG video game based on the Power Battlers series. It was developed by Burst Arts and published by Namco Bandai for the PlayStation 3, and released in October 30th, 2007 in Japan and November 15th, 2007 overseas. This game takes place after the events of Fallen Dragons, where the main character, Nathan Barnes, and his spirits and friends travel through New Rose to defeat Neo-Infrared.

Gameplay
As stated earlier, Fallen Dragons 2 is a turn-based RPG featuring adventuring elements presented in a third-person perspective. There are three basic screens: an overworld, in which the player navigates the main character; a battle screen, where the player fights enemies; and the menu, in which the player configures their party, items, or gameplay settings. The player can create a team of spirits, themselves included, during battle. The maximum capacity is up to five. However, the game also includes a Power Nest, where spirits can be stored or withdrawn.

When spirits reach a certain level, they have the ability to upgrade their attributes to become stronger. Power Fusion, a mechanic introduced in this game, can be available by combining two or more spirits with each other to create a more powerful spirit. Some fusions require the sacrifice of a spirit’s life force, which could lead to more powerful fusions.

Story
The game is set two years after the events of Fallen Dragons. Many changes have occurred in New Rose over the years, the biggest of which being the reformation of Infrared, now led by the capable hands of Blaze Higgins and Z. One of the members, Nathan Barnes, has a strong belief in the unity of both humans and spirits. However, the news revealed that Neo-Infrared, a terrorist organization that was formed to continue what the original Infrared could not, has been attacking everyone in New Rose. Among the other Infrared members, Nathan works with some of them, as well as his trustworthy spirits, to combat Neo-Infrared.

Playable

 * Nathan Barnes: the main character of the game. He is a supporter of the reformed Infrared under Blaze and Z. He is a member but instead of a uniform, he wears a badge with their symbol. He believes in helping the Powers of the world.
 * Rosanne Whitney: Nathan’s best friend. She hopes to become a breakthrough at the Pop Heroine Studios. She now merely works as a stunt trainer, taking the place in spirit battles for the actual stars but wishes to do some of the acting herself.
 * Hugo Thompson: A childhood friend of Nathan who grew to resent him due to supporting the reformed Infrared. Hugo sees Infrared, both the old and the new one, as one and the same, prejudiced ever since they stole his little sister’s cat, possessed by a Power, years ago. Only when Nathan finds and returns said cat and Power and saved his life, did he accept Nathan’s friendship and accept that the majority of Infrared has changed.
