Partia 2 is a SRPG (Strategy Role-playing) video game inspired by Fire Emblem and Tear Ring Saga series. In a high fantasy setting, the game will take players through an adventure where magic and sword collide and friendship and betrayal intertwine. Partia 2 : The Pretenders War is a sequel to Partia: The Broken Lineage. The game packs 22 stages that could present challenges to any SRPG fan. Partia 2 introduces many new features, including the choice of "Common turn" rule where all factions make moves alternatively (like Chess) instead of taking turns to move all his/her units. I believe this will bring a new nuance to gameplay if a player choose to do so. It can be toggled in intermission, and you can always play the game in the traditional FE way. (Common turn idea is from Berwick Saga) AI had improved a lot, and horse units now can move after attacking, if they have remaining move distances. Regrettably, the game could not deliver large animation battle. If you felt the game looked bad in Partia 1, then you'll find this game look much the same, except we have much bigger and nicer character portraits. It is because original Partia was never profitable, making Partia 2 production running on fume. (It sold around 6000 copies in two years) The stress of not getting paid almost broke our team of two, but somehow sheer will allowed this game to be out here for you. So whether this game series is success or not, I am immensely proud of the results. How many five year projects can a person do in a life time? ;-) Many times I was tempted to include some IAP stuff into the game and get cheap dollar or two, but I decided against it. More than anything, I rather have this game to be remembered as good, than have that IAP distaste. So you may refrain from purchasing this game if you didn't like Partia 1. But I promise you it will be a much better experience (and much more challenging) if you did enjoy the original Partia. Thank you all, and please let us know what you think!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Monstergotchi at Free against Partia 2's $5.99. Monstergotchi also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.5). Partia 2's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 32 months). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Partia 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Partia 2 has 32 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Partia 2's written reviews are positive against 100% of Monstergotchi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Partia 2 ships an update every 4 weeks, Monstergotchi every 32 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
