Youkai Watch Busters 2: Hihou Densetsu Banbaraya Magnum

Yo-Kai Watch Busters 2 – Treasure Legend Banbaraya – Magnum also known as Yo-Kai Watch Busters 2 – Hihou Densetsu Banbaraya – Magnum, is a RPG game developed by Digital Works Entertainment for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released exclusively in Japan on December 16, 2017. Yo-Kai Watch Busters 2 – Hihou Densetsu Banbaraya – Magnum is a sequel to 2015’s Yo-Kai Watch Blasters. The game was released in two different versions: Sword and Magnum. Busters 2 sees the player controlling a team of up to four Yo-kai, who explore the fictitious Karakuri Island in search of treasure.

In Yo-kai Watch Busters 2, players are led to Karakuri Island by the great adventurer Indy J, where it is said that the treasure of a pirate king rests. The “Brandory Family,” strong rivals and heinous thieves who have served a total of 10,000 years in prison, are also after the treasure. Busters 2 is a role-playing game that sees players controlling a team of up to 4 Yo-kai who explore the Karakuri Island in search of treasure. While exploring, players will come across enemy Yo-kai, whom they must defeat using their own Yo-kai. After defeating an enemy Yo-kai, the player may get a chance to befriend it, meaning that a player can put the befriended Yo-kai on their team.

To befriend a Yo-kai, players must successfully perform a minigame. The game includes over 750 Yo-kai, some of which first debuted in Busters 2. The game is divided into chapters, with each chapter typically ending in the player fighting a “Big Boss“. Each Big Boss utilizes a unique attack method. After clearing a chapter, the Karakuri Island expands with new areas. Randomly during exploration, the words “Bambalaya!” are shouted, which is followed by a random effect. A returning element from previous Yo-kai Watch games is the Crank-a-Kai, a gashapon machine where players can befriend Yo-kai and receive items by inserting and cranking digital coins.
