Ni no Kuni is a series of adventure video games where you play a young character with an important mission. The first games follow Oliver, and his journey to another world to save his mother. The sequel, Revenant Kingdom, follows Evan Pettiwhisker Tildrum, a boy king who is usurped from his castle, and sets out to reclaim his kingdom.

Gameplay consists of exploring the world and meeting characters to build a party of adventurers, as is the way of these styles of games. You can accept different quests, some of which are side-missions while others progress the main story. Combat encounters then employ a battle system that you have to learn to perfect. Ni no Kuni II added the ability to develop a home town which offered resources to help you with your battles.

The games were developed separately, but follow similar heroes' quest forms:

• Ni no Kuni: Dominion of the Dark Djinn (2010) on Nintendo DS and then updated for PlayStation 3.
• Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (2013), a significantly expanded version of the previous game, on PlayStation 3 and later remastered for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
• Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom (2018) on PC, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch

The games stand out for offering a role-play experience that is both accessible and of high production value for a wider audience than usually plays these sorts of games. Studio Ghibli's animation and character work establish their believability and complexity while the soundtrack extends the feature film feel.
