The new game takes place one year after the events of the previous title. The protagonist Yumo, who possesses the power of the Dragon Vein, is now a college student living an ordinary life, working part-time at a convenience store. But one day, Chaos Beast re-emerges in Youshanding, a hidden realm where Phantoms reside. Yumo must once again stand up to save Ximending and its people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game\u2019s primary location is still Ximending, but this time around, you can visit other parts of Taipei as well. Collaboration with real stores and eateries has returned with even more places to visit, so players can enjoy the local cuisine more so than in the previous game. Eating at a store will grant characters numerous perks that give them an edge in battles. There are also shops that allow players to upgrade weapons using crafting materials. Besides visiting local stores, players can partake in a number of side quests as well.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Unlike the first game, players get to control not only Yumo, but her friends Bahet, Le Viada, and Leo as well, each with their own unique skillset and play style. In addition, a mysterious new character named D.D. joins the fight as the fifth playable character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sequel introduces new combat features such as a counter and a powerful move called Break Strike. A counter can be triggered by timely responding to certain enemy attacks, and the Break Strike can be activated when an enemy is in the Break state, which occurs after combo-ing them. Characters will gain experience points through battles, and players can use them to level up their stats. Players can also unlock a variety of skills to customize their moveset, which is a key component of the combat system.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220224-193204-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dusk Diver 2<\/em> is currently available on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1792600\/Dusk_Diver_2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a> for $49.99.
