Dragon's Dogma II is an action RPG where you play as the Arisen, customizing your character's look and combat vocation while recruiting AI companions called Pawns. These Pawns bring distinct abilities to fights and exploration, functioning as a party system you build and command yourself. Combat lets you climb on large enemies, target specific body parts, and coordinate attacks with your Pawn squad. Your choices shape how the story unfolds and how NPCs react to you across the game's fantasy setting. Character builds matter—different vocations handle encounters in meaningfully different ways. It's built for players who want party-based combat with direct control over one character, plus the freedom to experiment with builds and approaches without following a rigid path.
