The previous king has only recently passed away, and Evan’s supposed to have his inaugural ceremony that very evening, forging a bond with a powerful spirit known as a Kingmaker.
Amid the literal and metaphorical fallout of the disaster, Roland finds himself mysteriously assumed into the Another World of Ni no Kuni, and more specifically into the personal chambers of the game’s other protagonist, Evan Pettiwhisker Tildrum, the young king of Ding Dong Dell. There, the player is introduced to Roland, the president of an unnamed republic arriving for a peace summit in a metropolis that is theoretically not New York City, just in time for the nuke to hit.

The principal themes of this series have always been ones of crossed worlds and intertwined destinies, and Ni no Kuni II uses them for maximum impact in its introduction. But now I am happy to say that I can add Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom to the list of accomplishments, specifically the Prince’s Edition for the Nintendo Switch. Until recently, however, my only interaction with the sequel was to recommend it to an adult student of mine who had really enjoyed the first and was about to move to the US.
I reported on it for a year and more in the Japandemonium column, did an impression of the demo version from Tokyo Game Show 2010, reviewed the DS version (the one with the actual book), and participated in the first Backtrack podcast. Though it is a shorter series, I have a strangely long history with Ni no Kuni.
