  • The game has a lot of personality and is earnest in its storytelling, providing an emotional and engaging experience.
  • The combat system allows for some freedom in chaining combos, and the character Nameless feels better to use with more tools compared to previous characters.
  • Despite its flaws, many players found the game to be fun and enjoyable, especially for fans of hack and slash action RPGs.
  • The game suffers from outdated graphics, a messy story, and poor voice acting, which detracts from the overall experience.
  • Combat can be lackluster and frustrating due to unbalanced enemies, a poor camera system, and a significant difficulty spike near the end.
  • Many elements feel recycled from the previous game, leading to a sense of repetitiveness and making it feel more like a DLC than a standalone title.
  • story
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story has received mixed reviews, with some praising its emotional depth and connection to the first game, while others find it messy and lacking coherence. It runs parallel to the original narrative, offering a different perspective on events and character backstories, particularly that of the antagonist known as 'the nameless.' Overall, while some players appreciate the engaging moments and soundtrack, others criticize the story's execution and content limitations.

    • “Overall, I enjoyed Nameless’ story and wrapping up the loose ends from the first game.”
    • “The story takes place at the same time and place as 'Gate of Memories' from the perspective of one of the antagonists, the Nameless.”
    • “With the Nameless Chronicles, it simply shows you a different perspective of the events that have transpired within the towers, along with giving you a backstory to an ominous character you rarely encounter known as 'the Nameless' or 'Immortal'.”
    • “The story runs parallel with the first game; with that in mind, there are fewer bosses and less to do as far as content.”
    • “None of the story will make any sense, and the difficulty starts more or less where the first game left off (and they're both on the harder end).”
    • “While the game has a couple of positive points (like the OST and the backstory of the main character), it has way too many cons.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives high praise, with one reviewer rating the soundtrack a perfect 1000/10, highlighting its quality and emotional impact.

Despite this, the soundtrack is consistently recognized as one of the game's strong points.

    • “Soundtrack 1000/10”
    • “The soundtrack and graphics are good, the controls are responsive and customizable.”

    • “Gameplay-wise, it feels like your 'generic' hack n' slash; nothing too clunky with combat, and everything seems smooth (in my opinion).”
