The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its moral themes and character development, while others criticize it for being convoluted and lacking depth compared to its predecessor. Although there are attempts at original storytelling and a rewarding exploration system, many feel the narrative falls short, relying on clichés and repetitive encounters. Overall, it may appeal to fans of low-budget games seeking an engaging story, but it struggles to meet the standards set by earlier titles in the series.
- “For a cheap game, it has a rich story.”
- “Story progression is really good and interesting.”
- “I thought this was an excellent continuation of the first story.”
- “A valiant effort by its developers to bring a little bit more original storytelling to your average RPG Maker fare, but - like most RPG Maker titles - it falls short.”
- “The story is convoluted; I don't really like the orb system compared to the previous weapons system, and the character development is much weaker here.”
- “The plot keeps all the elements I dislike in terms of world setting and narrative, and somehow worsens it with a nonsensical clash of timelines where you fight a clone of yourself and all the other clichés.”

- “And the music is still great and very much raises the bar compared to similar titles.”
- “Music is creating a very nice mood and dynamic.”
- “Not up to the standards of its predecessor neither musically nor story-wise; nevertheless the pillars of the original remain -- it's flush with larger-than-life NPCs (sadly the returning favorites from the original don't include the 'near-immortals'), and tone-setting music (especially the boss music).”
- “I still tried playing this game for 0.5 hours or so, no, this game still sucks; aesthetics are trash, story is boring, music is bad.”
- “The music is tasteless to some degree but it does have some nice chirp tunes to listen to.”
