Orphen: Scion of Sorcery is a role-playing adventure game developed by Shade and released in 2000 for the PlayStation 2. Based on the Orphen fantasy franchise, the game casts players as Orphen, a skilled but reluctant sorcerer who finds himself drawn into a dangerous journey despite his preference for avoiding heroic responsibility. Throughout the adventure, Orphen employs dark magical abilities to aid a group of companions, each pursuing their own distinct personal quests. The game blends RPG mechanics with an adventure structure, progressing through a narrative that revolves around the intersecting struggles of its cast of characters. As one of the earlier RPG titles available on the PlayStation 2, it offered fans of the source material and the genre a story-driven experience centered on sorcery and reluctant heroism.
Tricked by Volcan into sailing to the merchant city of Arvanrama on the premise of "easy money," Orphen and his friends quickly find themselves in trouble when monsters attack their ship. Somehow, they all make it off the sinking vessel safely, only to find themselves stranded on Chaos Island, together with three other travelers: Sephy, Zeus, and Mar. They set off to explore the island and learn of a time-traveling object. Upon beating one of the three traveler's scenarios, you are given the choice to go back in time and replay the story to help out a different character, or end the game there. After helping all three fellow ship passengers, the final battle initiates, in which you learn the secret behind Chaos Island and the mysterious Crystal Orb.
