Orphen: Scion of Sorcery
PlayStation 2 · 2000
About this game
The game is based on the hit Japanese anime Sorcerous Stabber Orphen , (released outside of Japan as just Orphen).
Orphen, his apprentice Majik, traveling partner Cleo and her pet dog/magical-wolf Leki, and the two mischievous trolls Volkan and Dorton, sail to the mysterious Chaos Island in search of wealth and riches.

Also on the voyage are three strangers whose destinies pull Orphen and his companions into their mysterious journey.
Only the powerful dark sorcerer Orphen (in his trademark bemused manner) can discover what connections there are between the three strangers and the powers that rule the island, and keep himself and his companions alive long enough to find a way off of the ephemeral Chaos Island.
Orphen: Scion of Sorcery is an action game with some light RPG elements.
Orphen is a dark sorcerer and attacks his enemies with various spells including a magical sword and elementals.
The game is played in the third-person perspective looking over Orphen's shoulder.
You will run, jump, and explore your way through large levels on Chaos Island in varying environments; engage in boss battles that require you to use some puzzle solving and timing skills; and level up your dark magic.
Once beaten, the game encourages replay by following branching story lines not taken in the previous play-through.
The game maintains the feeling of the anime, particularly in the character designs and bantering dialogue.
Orphen: Scion of Sorcery is entirely voice acted.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Orphen: Scion of Sorcery for PlayStation 2 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 Orphen: Scion of Sorcery 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 PS2 release dates back to 2000.
