Gameplay

Battles are simplified from the first game, replacing the slot machine and grid movement with 3D character models and a faster combat flow. Outside of fights, the game plays out through dialogue choices, school life scenes, and a karaoke segment built around two original vocal tracks.

Story / Setting

Set between episodes 14 and 15 of the TV series, the story introduces Mayumi Yamagishi, a bookish new classmate Shinji tries to befriend. She turns out to be linked to an original Angel exclusive to the game, and the choices players make send the story down different routes toward different endings.
