The game's story follows a young man's life in medieval times, featuring numerous plot choices that significantly impact the narrative's direction. While many players appreciate the depth and complexity of the branching storylines and character development, some criticize the shallow choices and lack of proofreading in the dialogue. Overall, the game offers an engaging and immersive experience, with a rich backdrop that encourages multiple playthroughs.
“The story hooked me from the start; every character feels fleshed out, and the skills you can develop will alter your character until the end of the game, making you want to restart and try out a new path.”
“It feels like a great game, with a cool story, many interesting events, and paths to take.”
“The choices you get to make are extremely shallow; the story is so ridiculous at times that it is completely unpredictable in a bad way. The art definitely leaves something to be desired, and they almost never give you enough information to make the correct choices.”
“While it keeps its design and gameplay, thus maintaining the familiar atmosphere of the first game, the additions to this one only add to its value: character sheets, skill sheets, inventory... walking around the map just shows you how big your realm is and makes the background of the story feel even more fleshed out.”
“The game's branching tree is extremely complex but results in a coherent storyline no matter what you choose.”

The humor in the game is polarizing; while some players appreciate its expansion and variety, many criticize it for relying heavily on vulgar, cringe, and toilet humor that feels out of place in a fairy tale setting. This blend of humor can be seen as both entertaining and annoying, leading to mixed reactions among players. Overall, the game's comedic elements may appeal to some, but others find them lacking in genuine wit.
“Unlike the first part, the game became much bigger, funnier, and you can be good or evil, or... or something in the middle, which is great.”
“Solid choose your own adventure type game, with humor, and an absolutely ludicrous number of titles.”
“The humor in this game is a delightful mix of clever wit and absurdity that keeps you entertained throughout.”
