What was Defense Witches 2?

Announced during the fifth anniversary, Defense Witches 2 was the sequel only released in Japan (despite plans to release overseas) This game was only released for a short while, not even reaching it's first-year anniversary before the game shut down.

While not much was known about the story (and I think only 3 or 4 areas were released before the game shut down) from the official Twitter page (err x), it seemed like the game was originally going to go with three main protagonists Mint (girl in pink) Felt (girl with the hat) (also take these two names with a grain of salt I'm not positive I'm going based off google translate) and Cornet (who needs no introduction)

The main girls from the first game were also brought over now a year older :D

There seems to be a new villain whos this girl (idk her name)

(Edit) Her name is Celesta, and she is Cornet's Older Sister. Thank you @defense-witches for the information

Now what was new in Defense Witches 2?

A GACHA system for gaining access to new characters, leveling up characters, gaining equipment/pets, and more.

A class system for character organization (year 1, year 2, year 3, other)

An equipment system (yes for each individual character)

A world map where stages were posted (credit to one of the dw2 artists)

new place management system for the witches where they disappear if not on a purple square after cooldown is done (year 1 & 2)

Adding onto the top point there's a new character what adds more purple spaces

Witches (3rd years and Others) usually only allow for placement of one of them on the map

Events offering rewards for characters, equipment, or pets (seasonal offered limited-time characters)

What Didn't Make It Into The Game? (But Was Revealed)

Given Felt and her sister were revealed as explosion types, Tiana might of played a bigger role (she is also one of the few original special witches to get a character redesign)

Chiara and a lot of the older witches were released after the initial release via updates however Lyra never made it into the game

They teased special moves that never made it in-game

I'll be posting more about the character that did make it into the game and some of the in-game manga at a later date

Defense Witches 2 Characters - Other

Heyo for this final characters introductions I'll be sharing some of the other characters that made it into the game and some of the limited-timed events character descriptions. Just keep in mind especially for the seasonal characters the translated descriptions weren't fully clear this was sort of what I was able to get out of them >-<

Luna - Summon Spirt

"An ancient spirit that lives forever. It can be summoned based on an ancient contract. Although it does not fight itself, it collects magical power from the earth and gradually shares its magical power with the summoner. A mysterious being who has no concept of good or evil and accepts all things as they are. My hobby is building dungeons."

Lili and Lala - Summoners

"Blue-haired Lili and red-haired Lala, join forces and summon a hero! An unknown being who has a telepathic ability that only the two of them can communicate with, as they share a shared fate that one will die no matter who tries it. The theory of extraterrestrial life forms is also deeply rooted. Where the heroes are summoned from us also shrouded in mystery, and we are waiting for clarification."

Professor Linnel - Teacher

A graduate and head of the magic school. She is working as an apprentice teacher at the school while developing new magic that adds magic to music. She has a gentle and self-paced personality, and she speaks to students as if she were talking to small children. My hobby is watching concerts. Lately, I've been obsessed with the Luxor band, which is popular among young people."

Christmas Chloe

"The student council will hold a Christmas party. Chloe was given the role of Santa. As she was handing out promotional flyers in cosplay a person was captivated by her unique gestures. One after another Santa Chloe's popularity has now spread not only within the school but throughout the town. I can't tell from her expression but she (doesn't?) seems happy about it."

Christmas Daisy

"This year Daisy was chosen to play the role of Santa, who makes children's dreams come true at the Christmas Party. Daisy prepares for the event after intense training, but her false beard falls off during an important scene and she gives the wrong gift. I keep failing... She becomes completely depressed however during her final performance, she receives letters of gratitude from the children, and her usual smile returns."

New Years Cornet

"What is it? Everyone is wearing something called a "furisode"! I can't lose either! I'm going to call the tailor in the demon world right away! There's no New Year's in the demon world, but if the former great demon lord asks me to... We can't leave this out. Thus, the first "long-sleeved kimono" in the demon world was completed! It was very satisfying for Cornet.

New Years Mint

"Mint changed unto the "long-sleeved kimono" that Daisy gave her. I'm going to show everyone. However, the only students left at the magic school during winter break are Tulle and Cornet the supplementary training duo. I was a little disappointed, but the two of them complimented me on how cute I was so I'm feeling great! I'm going to eat a lot of mochi and do my best again this year!"

New Years Felt

"In Stishford, a place where trade is prosperous and a point of exchange between different cultures, furisode the folk costume of the eastern countries are all the rage! Furisode was also sent to Felt's room for a girl working hard in the city. I'm a little embarrassed, but I'm going to go out wearing this today!"

Fun fact about Lili and Lala out of all the characters listed here on the others list they were the only ones present in the initial release of the game. However, they weren't playable... they were only really present in the summoning screen of the gacha to get more witches before becoming playable at a late date. Other than that look at their little dance :D

I love it :')

But yeah that's kinda it for the characters released for this game I'll try assembling this game manga together. Just might be kinda difficult my younger self decided to not save like manga's together >_<

Defense Derby Game Review: A New Era in Tower Defense

In the ever-evolving world of mobile gaming, Defense Derby, developed by RisingWings and backed by the esteemed Krafton, presents itself as a fresh addition to the tower defense genre. The game's visuals, reminiscent of iconic titles like Clash of Clans, coupled with its strategic gameplay mechanics, set it apart. Players are tasked with the strategic deployment of characters to defend a central tower, a concept that, while rooted in traditional tower defense mechanics, is given a fresh twist in Defense Derby. The game's availability across multiple platforms, including the Google Play Store, Apple's App Store, and Samsung's Galaxy Store, speaks volumes about its intent to cater to a wide audience. However, it's not without its challenges. New players might find the tutorial lacking in depth, and the absence of a rich narrative might leave some yearning for more.

The gameplay modes, PvP and Blitz, cater to different player preferences, adding layers of depth and versatility. PvP mode introduces an innovative bidding system, adding another layer of strategy, while Blitz mode challenges players' endurance and strategic planning. Despite its many strengths, Defense Derby isn't without its challenges. The potential for gameplay repetitiveness and minor technical glitches can sometimes mar the experience. Yet, its strengths, especially in the realms of graphics and sound design, make it a game worth exploring. The serene background scores, detailed visuals, and the strategic depth it offers ensure that Defense Derby is poised to make a mark in the competitive mobile gaming landscape.

"Troll!" came the shout from the battlements. "Where?!" we shouted back. "Southeast!" was the reply. Darn it. We didn't have any archers defending our fortress in that direction. It was fortunate that we still had time before we had to deal with the next wave of attackers. We were already in over our heads fending off orcs and goblins at the northern end of the bastion. Things were slowly becoming too chaotic. It was a real ⁠Castle Panic⁠ by Justin De Witt from ⁠Fireside Games⁠.
