The game is an RPG, with 3-D battlefields and a "Crafting" system where players can combine items to create a more powerful weapon.
The game will store their combinations for future reference as well and supports up to four players on a networking system.
Common to the genre, battles take place in closed off environments, but they are not triggered at random.
Colored skulls floating around in the environment lead to battles and based on the color the toughness of the encounter is announced.
These skulls can decide to chase the player or back off when they are not strong enough and go look for reinforcements.
The turn-based battles are based on a timing system where actions can be formed when an activity circle fills up.
Time does not stop however, so actions need to be selected quickly.
Weapons wear off and a Lunar Gauge can be filled up to get access to special abilities, affecting a single character or the entire group.
This technique is used by the opponents as well.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Blades of Thunder 2 for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Blades of Thunder 2 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2006.
