The Indonesian gaming industry welcomes another serious contender. This time, Platomenti and YSY Softworks present their latest collaborative work. They bring Insurgence – Second Assault Remastered to gamers. This game is not just a simple port of the 2020 sequel. The developers have completely revamped the game. You’ll experience the nostalgic feel of 2D RPGs with a modern twist. Players will dive into the political conflicts of the Kingdom of Aereon, which is currently embroiled in a civil war. If you’re craving the depth of storytelling found in classic JRPGs, you’ll want to keep an eye on this title.
Two Sides of the Narrative
The main appeal of this game lies in its Dual Perspective storytelling style. Developers rarely execute this unique style. You don’t just follow the journey of one hero. Players will see two different perspectives that intersect with each other. There is Alissya, who is struggling to find her sister amid the chaos. Then there is Tressa, a noble knight who wants to prove her leadership abilities. The transition between characters provides a rich layer of emotion. Players will understand that civil war is grey. No side is completely “white” or “black” in this conflict.
Classic Strategy with Modern Flexibility
The Turn Based Combat System in Insurgence – Second Assault Remastered feels familiar. However, this system still requires careful strategy. The Elemental Weakness Mechanism is the key to victory. You must exploit your enemy’s weaknesses to survive. This system is similar to Octopath Traveler or Persona. The skill customisation feature is also very player-friendly. You can craft weapons and even cook. This freedom makes it easy for you to put together the strongest team. You won’t be locked into rigid character classes.

This remastered version brings significant audio visual improvements. The new graphics engine makes the lighting and colours of the pixel art much more vivid. However, the most interesting point is in the music sector. Ken Nakagawa worked directly on the game’s soundtrack. He is a big name behind the Atelier and Ar Tonelico series. The musical touch of this legendary Japanese composer guarantees a magical atmosphere. This collaboration is clearly an extraordinary achievement for local developers. They have successfully brought international standards to a homegrown work.
