Perang Cemen II Gameplay Time (Rough)

 Average Gameplay Time


The total playtime for Perang Cemen II can vary greatly depending on the player’s preferred battle strategy:


High Risk, High Reward Strategy (Fast)

This approach focuses on having a caster unleash the strongest spell in the game, comparable to Ultima in Final Fantasy, but several times stronger. These spells can obliterate bosses in seconds, but come with extreme aggro buildup, making the caster the prime target for enemies. If the caster is hit or suffers a disabling ailment (like Silence or Sleep), the spell is cancelled.


⚔️ Estimated Clear Time: ~25–30 hours (for skilled players who can protect their caster effectively).



Slow and Steady Strategy (Safe)

This traditional method balances offense and defense. Players take time to build SP, rotate between skills, spells, and basic attacks, and carefully manage resources for consistent but slower progress.


🛡️ Estimated Clear Time: ~45–60 hours (for beginners or cautious players who prioritize stability).



The Legend Continues...

Perang Cemen I

The most beginner-friendly entry. You start with an overpowered sword that can instantly kill mobs (except bosses), and allies join with predefined roles like Support, DPS, or Tank. The game gradually teaches mechanics stage by stage, charging skills, turn-based damage, barrier points, enemies immune to physical attacks, etc. Difficulty ramps up but always provides exploitable weaknesses in bosses. Great for learning the fundamentals.


Perang Cemen II

Not tutorial-based, instead following a Final Fantasy VI approach where NPCs (mostly in the Adventurer Guild) provide hints. Combat is more technical: spellcasting can be interrupted by attacks (flinching), repeated use of the same attack type reduces its effectiveness (damage proration), and efficient play requires balancing attack types.


The stat and equipment system is more complex: instead of flat ATK/MAG, damage is calculated using Power and Magic, which depend heavily on equipment. A frail mage can outscale a warrior with the right weapon. Characters can equip anything, which open possibilities of various builds.


Skills aren’t gained by leveling, but by weapon/magic mastery, using attacks to unlock new abilities. Beyond level 40 there are no new skills, but mastery scaling keeps weapons relevant. Because of this, specializing each character is more efficient than making everyone a jack-of-all-trades, though certain universal skills (like Quick Draw from bows) are worth picking up.


Perang Cemen III (in development)

By far the most punishing entry. Stats are randomized at the start, encouraging rerolls for survivability. Multiple visible and hidden parameters: Food, Action, Luck, Alignment, Fame, Crime, Diet Balance, govern gameplay.


The game drops you in the wilderness with no money, weak, and surrounded by predators. Every action costs Action points, which are recovered by resting. Resting consumes Food, fail to eat, and you die. Nighttime drastically reduces vision, making survival even riskier.


Enemies don’t drop money; instead, you must dismantle loot into scraps and trade with merchants. Many additional systems (dice rolls, durability, dosage limits on medicine, branching skill trees) layer on top, creating a brutal survival experience with no tutorials, no hand-holding, and no NPC hints. Definitely not for beginners.

Hello Adventurers!

This month’s build is packed with brand new systems and fresh areas to explore. Thank you so much for supporting me, your encouragement keeps the project alive! 🙏

🏞️ New Areas


A new connecting path between Plusroad and Erusido.

New passive creatures: 🐿️ Squirrel & 🦌 Deer (they flee when approached).


A lively town with:

🏨 INN (discounts possible via negotiations).

🛍️ Shop (negotiations possible, but taxes block most discounts).

🔮 Witch House / Magic Shop (discounts possible, but fail and the price goes up!).

🏰 Guild Building (WIP — system coming soon).

🏘️ Two villager houses.

📌 Notes

INN and Shop negotiation now use Fame, Morale, Nature, INT and other parameters.

The Guild System is still WIP but the building is placed in Erusido.


A full crime & punishment system is now in place!

Guards will catch players who commit crimes (or are framed).

You can:

Negotiate if your talking skills are high enough.

Bribe guards if you’re wealthy.

Fight back (risky do or die battle!).

Surrender and face prison time.

From prison you can:

Hire a lawyer → increases chance of winning trial.

Attempt an escape → but you’ll stay a fugitive.

At the Court you can:

Bribes the judges, sway the Judge Master, chat with your Lawyer if you hire any or provoked the Prosecutor.

Accept the Trial → win/lose, but at least your record is cleared.

> ⚠️ Losing in court means years skipped in-game.

New High Difficulty Secret Boss



P. Arum
P. Arum has a habit of using Magic: Impact on early, it's not dealing lot of damage but knock back upon hit, you can interrupt P. Arum with Flinch, Tumble, or Stun while she is charging Magic: Impact if you deem it necessary to cancel her Magic: Impact.
P. Arum has three phases, on first phase the maximum damage she can take is capped at 200K/hit meaning any damage she took will not exceed 200K, on the second phase which occurs when her HP is below 50%, the maximum damage she can take is capped at 10K/hit, she also begin to use more powerful skill such as Dragon Horn, Meteor Breaker, and so on, lastly during the last phase which occurs when her HP is below 25%, the maximum damage she can take is capped at 2K/hit also she can begin to Parry which allows her to Guard and Dodge attacks.
If you knock back P. Arum she will either using a Magic: Impact or using Tier 2 Elemental Magic or Parry if magic is unavailable, additionally because characteristics of player skill is being too overpower to be used by enemy, some of P. Arum skills are given charging time such as Nova Dragon and Dive Impact, in return Rampage gain a boost in ASPD but the final strike of Flying Dragon Slash are reduced to 2/3 of its original power, while the rest of the skills are left as is.
P. Arum Dive Impact has been nerfed with charging time and second hit miss chance by 50% because the second hit which is a delayed damage are true damage which ignoring all defenses, making it possible to devastate the whole party unnoticed as the damage is same as the Dive Impact used by players, it's highly recommend to interrupt when she's charging this skill as even tanker will take damage when they're hit with delayed damage regardless Guard status.

New Weapon and Xstal

Embezzledar (Berserker) a Greatsword.
Remarkable Greatsword known for its HP boost that increasing Max HP by 10000 breaking the previous cap of 5000 in boosting flat Max HP.
Intoleracistar (Lancer) a Spear.
Abnormal Spear that known for boosting CSPD which is rare for non-mage weapon, opening up a more potential for Magic Knight / Kisma builds.
Modusliar (Foreigner) a Katana.
Ridiculous Katana known for its cheat like 100% Critical Rate, it's base attack may be lower but each strike is guaranteed critical is overwhelming.
P. Arum (Normal) a Xstal.
Not so impressive Xstal other than having a little EXP Boost which has no use for Max Level parties or little resistance boost.

Adjustment

High Difficulty Boss Battle Kara is now having two type of fight, the Ultimate difficulty will now become easy version while refusing/cancel while selecting difficulty will now become the hard version.
The Easy Version will no longer dropping Carbuncle Edge in return but still unlocking the Crafting Recipe for Carbuncle Edge, the hard version will still dropping Carbuncle Edge.
Carbuncle Edge previously treated as (Saber) weapon is now treated as (Berserker) weapon, Greatsword is now under (Berserker) domain.
Charging Spell for Tier 6 Elemental Magic is reduced.

New Game?

 Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh!

Destiny and Dice Released!



It's still in early development so spare me any lecture!
Go check the game list or click here.

The gameplay?

I planned to make it something like open world RPG thingy, the players will not be bound by the story, well yes they did in early but at some point they're free to do whatever they wanna do, they can be goody two shoes hero who helped people in need or they can be villains who rob merchants, raid people house, etc.
That's pretty much the draft, I have roughly over 100+ recruitable characters so I'll need funds to pay an artist to make me those character graphics which is why I'll open a Patreon tomorrow or a day after.


Of course whoever support the development of the game will get some privilege and I'm currently testing the privilege balance, the purpose of my game is challenging, I want the game remains challenging even with privilege to keep the game fun and not boring! and of course I'll listen to the request of my patrons if they had a great idea and want it to be added into the game.
Yeah! let's do this!

DnD Late Release

Sorry for the delay, but during the last test play a critical error bug were found, and I don't think it can be fixed in a day, sorry for the inconvenience but I'd rather release the game late than release it early but filled with many critical bugs which may ruined my players experience, please for your understanding.


Expected Release Date:

07/08/2025 (03:00~04:00 UTC+9)

Update only when the Developer feels like it

Re-Release DnD?!


Yippie! Finally after a decade this rusty blog is getting an update! and the good news is NEW PC III DnD will be available next month or in just few days! It's newly made with MZ so yeah... it may be a lot different than the previous versions which technically I abandoned (boo... hoo... hoo...), also I plan to open a Patreon to gather supporter for the sake of development, I have too many projects that if I worked everything myself, I don't think I can done it myself tbh, maybe I can do but for how many decades will it be done?

Updated Manual/Guide

It's nothing fancy but I assign somebody to make a Devil Boy Quest Guide if you found any mistake or something wrong in it let me know.
Also, Ancient Combat Manual is now have a navigation link, I know it's nothing fancy but it can help you scroll instantly to the information section you seek.

What about 3rd Monster Lord 's Quest?

Oh, right! for those who already make the donations, doesn't matter how much it is, make sure to send me an email along with the proofs (like SS) if you have any, if you don't or forgot just state how much you donate and when (date) you did so I can send you a link to access the special edition of the game when it's finished, or better yet be my patron to monitor the development of the game itself!

Devil Boy Quest Next Update?

Probably starting next year, I'll add omake which includes the removed endings along with additional CGs and after clear mode, unlike Ancient Combat, Devil Boy Quest doesn't have proper after clear mode so feel free to demand some extra contents while you got the chance!

Ancient Combat Better TL patch when?

Apparently the current Ancient Combat is mostly MTL, I already get the better translated TXT file, this one is made by HUMAN, the problem is... it's in TXT format so yeah... just give me some time! I need to copy each line while searching which map, which events, which text box to paste the text and wrap it up so yeah just gimme some time! don't pressure me!

What about PerangCemenPlugins?

It's for fellow RPG Maker MZ developer, don't concern yourself with it unless you are game developer who using RPG Maker MZ.
