Zwei!! (ツヴァイ!!, Tsuvai!!?) is an action role-playing game developed by Nihon Falcom Corporation. It has been released on three platforms so far: Windows, PS2 and the PSP. The title itself is derived from the German word "zwei" meaning "two". An online version called Zwei!! Online, developed by Korean developer Neonsoft Corporation, was announced on August 2, 2007. A sequel Zwei II was released for Windows on September 25, 2008.

Features
  • The game is reminiscent of dungeon crawlers, but includes a larger focus on RPG elements and puzzles.
  • Players control two characters, Pipiro and Pokkle, and can swap between them at any time.
  • Pipiro launches magic at enemies, while Pokkle fights with a drill-like weapon.
  • Both characters can utilise elemental attacks to target enemy weaknesses, with Pipiro's elemental spells also allowing access to new dungeon areas.
  • Scoring multiple hits on enemies increase the drop rate of spoils and earns combo badges, which lets the player initiate combo attacks that damage the entire screen.
  • Zwei!! originated as a Windows game and was later ported to the PS2 and PSP.
  • The PS2 port was handled by Taito and is largely faithful to the original, but doesn't contain the "Typing of Ys" mini-game or any of the desktop applications.
  • Furthermore, the sequence leading up to the final dungeon was modified, with the player required to complete four previously optional stages, now with reduced difficulty, before progressing.
  • The PSP port by Falcom omits another mini-game, "Mona Mona", but includes character artwork during conversations, additional voice snippets and a re-arranged soundtrack option.
  • The character artwork was also redone to fit in with the sequel's style.
