Description
Zwei!! is an action role-playing game set in the floating continent world of Granvallen, where magic is fading after a ancient war between humans and demon lords. Players follow Pipiro and Pokkle, two young adventurers from the village of Puck, as they pursue a masked thief who stole sacred Goddess statues. The game features vibrant 2D anime-style visuals, real-time combat with switchable characters—each with unique abilities—and a food-based leveling system where enemies drop ingredients that can be combined to create powerful dishes. Dungeons are labyrinthine, filled with enemies and puzzles, while a pet companion aids in exploration and combat.

Zwei!!: A Whimsical, Flawed, and Endearing Dungeon-Crawling Adventure
Introduction: A Forgotten Gem of the Early 2000s
In the pantheon of Japanese action RPGs, Zwei!! (2001) occupies a peculiar niche—a game that is simultaneously charming, innovative, and frustratingly flawed. Developed by Nihon Falcom, the studio behind the legendary Ys and The Legend of Heroes series, Zwei!! is a vibrant, cartoonish dungeon crawler that defies the grimdark trends of its era.
