The game's story is characterized by shallow yet entertaining humor, featuring witty banter among characters and nostalgic callbacks to the first game. While the main plot lacks depth, the abundance of quests—both main and side—provides a variety of gameplay experiences, though some players feel that the quest structure limits player choice and prolongs gameplay unnecessarily. Overall, the narrative is engaging but not particularly profound, appealing to those who enjoy lighthearted RPGs.
“I love 2D RPGs, particularly when the story is good and has depth.”
“The story is entertaining (if not particularly deep), and the dialogue is hilarious.”
“While some effort went into making this less of a grindfest, it's still overall a very poor RPG with bad dialogue and little in the way of party or character differentiation, being tightly locked to the mediocre story.”
“The story is no more developed than in the first game in terms of plot, but still has the humorous banter, and this time there is nostalgia, since the characters from the first game make reappearances and are familiar.”
“The main downturn is that the quests run longer, and there is no longer a feeling that you have many options to choose from for your next mission.”
