I was a huge fan of the original Zenonia on the iPhone. It was one of the first true RPGs you could find for the platform, and it was done rather well. While not completely smooth all the time, it was still enjoyable for being a pioneer of the iPhone RPG market.

Naturally, then, I was pretty excited to hear that a sequel is on its way. Most iPhone sequels I’ve experienced have been much better than the originals, which is saying a lot considering sequels only come out if the original is successful enough to merit a second one.

In this sequel, titled “Zenonia: The Lost Memories”, you can choose between four different classes of characters (as opposed to three in the orig): paladin, shooter, magician, and warrior. More interestingly though is the introduction of new levels of difficulty. In Lost Memories we’ll get to choose between Normal, Hard, and Hell modes. The more difficult the game is, the more secrets, treasures and bosses you can face.

Another exciting addition to the game is online multiplayer. Gamevil tells us that players can download their characters and compete against friends (or foes, in this case). We don’t know if this is just for a local network or if you can match up with someone from anywhere.

Release time will likely be March.
