Wild Arms 2nd Ignition is an RPG for PlayStation set in the fictional world of Filgaia, merging Old West aesthetics with steampunk and fantasy elements. It features a turn-based combat system where players engage with randomly appearing foes. Unique character techniques and a Guardian system permit the summoning of powerful creatures. Players can actively control three combatants while managing a roster of up to six characters.
Wild Arms 2 is not a direct sequel to the first Wild Arms, although it is set in the same fictional world Filgaia, which combines elements of Old West, steampunk, and fantasy. The turn-based combat system against randomly appearing enemies resembles that of the predecessor, featuring techniques unique to each character, as well as the Guardian system, which allows the characters to summon powerful creatures to assist them in battles. Three combatants can be used actively in battles; the player can also switch any of them with a reserve character, up to six altogether.
