The game's story is characterized by a blend of engaging character interactions and a straightforward main plot centered around dungeon exploration, which some players find simplistic yet enjoyable. While the narrative offers significant replay value through diverging paths and character quests, it can also feel repetitive and occasionally lacks clarity in quest progression. Overall, the story is well-received for its emotional moments and character depth, though some players criticize the writing quality and the impact of player choices.
- “Dungeon Dreams has a fantastic plot hook that gets you sucked into the world and feeling all kinds of emotions. Without spoilers, there is a betrayal that feels semi-believable and can hit very hard depending on how long you spend with the start of the game.”
- “The overall story is great with many other story arcs within, just as, if not better to see through either a companion/NPC's personal questline, special events, and new guild questlines which have a very interesting and unique storyline centered around the guild you join depending on your class.”
- “While the main story might be pretty straightforward, it's the other events and side stories around your hero that I think made it one of the strongest and most enjoyable narratives I've seen in any RPGs.”
- “The storyline was lackluster and surprisingly brief, lacking the depth and engagement I was hoping for.”
- “Despite the potential for an interactive and choice-driven narrative, the game failed to deliver meaningful options, resulting in choices that felt inconsequential to the storyline's progression.”
- “That means you're forced to rerun the same boring place over and over to progress storylines.”
grinding

The game features a significant amount of grinding, which is necessary for progression but can become tedious and repetitive for some players. While many appreciate the balance between grinding and story advancement, others find the grind excessive, particularly in terms of leveling up and unlocking content. Overall, players who enjoy grinding may find the experience rewarding, but those seeking a more streamlined gameplay may feel overwhelmed by the repetitive nature of the tasks involved.
- “I spent about 8 of my 9 hours walking around a procedurally-generated dungeon with auto-battle on and combat speed max. The few character interactions that were of any substance seemed relatively good, but they're so mired in endless hours of tedious trudging that I couldn't recommend it to others.”
- “It's too grindy because everything is locked between reaching certain floors, paced by days and up to 20 times doing some job without even knowing there could be any new content behind it.”
- “The combat was overly repetitive, which quickly became tedious.”

The gameplay in "Dungeon Dreams 2" is praised for its solid mechanics, improved over its predecessor, featuring a mix of turn-based combat, randomly generated dungeons, and engaging mini-games that reward player interaction. Players appreciate the depth of choices available, both in gameplay and story, including a well-balanced skill tree and the integration of romance options that enhance the overall experience. The game offers a compelling gameplay loop that encourages exploration and strategic planning, making it a standout in the RPG genre.
- “The gameplay is definitely better than the first game.”
- “This is a classic playstyle with relaxed turn-based combat; it has a wide range of minigames and 'secret systems' so you get rewarded for engaging with the mechanics and mini-games the game introduces, not just in the gold they give often but in the static stats and opening of character options.”
- “I enjoy the turn-based gameplay, the different party configurations that one can toy with by combining the various classes, and the way one can use different minigames, events, and social engagement to break up the dungeon crawling.”
- “I'm soft locked out of a major game mechanic, which is business development.”
- “Watch some gameplay videos before buying to see if you'll like it.”
- “+/- the core gameplay is centered around the randomly generated dungeon.”

The game boasts exceptional replayability, driven by a wealth of content, diverse character options, and multiple story paths that encourage players to explore different builds and romances.

- “Tons of characters, tons of content, and several diverging story paths that give it a lot of replay value.”
- “Yes, the sheer amount of content is actually unbelievable to me: I played the main story for 40 hours, but I saw that if I choose another class there's a lot of new content and characters I've never met: this game offers an incredible replayability value.”
- “Yes, it has its grammatical dialogue errors, the art style/design isn't always consistent and can lack continuity at times, but in terms of execution and overall replayability factor, this game runs circles around most post-2020 games.”
- “There is a ton of replay value here because of the different choices, routes, etc.”
- “With three major guilds locked behind your choice of class and with so many recruitable characters, the replay value is high.”

The game's graphics receive an 8/10 rating, praised for its character art style but criticized for inconsistent design and clashing art styles, particularly in the party screen. While some players appreciate the overall execution and replayability, they feel the game could benefit from a more cohesive visual identity for its maps and sprites. Despite these issues, the graphics contribute to a dynamic and engaging adventure.
- “Graphics 8/10”
- “A game like this with graphics as in Trials of Mana.”
- “Other than that, my personal nitpick is that this game deserves a unique art style for the game maps and for the sprites, but if you're willing to look beyond that you'll find a dynamic and addicting adventure!”
- “But the game can have clashing art styles, which is most noticeable in your party screen.”
- “Other than that, my personal nitpick is that this game deserves a unique art style for the game maps and for the sprites.”
- “A game like this with graphics similar to Trials of Mana.”

The music in the game is generally described as fitting but unremarkable, receiving a score of 6/10. While it serves its purpose, it lacks memorable melodies and does not reach the high standards set by other titles in the genre, with many assets sourced from RPG Maker. Overall, players feel the music does not enhance the experience significantly.
- “Nothing 'sticks in your head' like games of this style sometimes do (of course it's not fair comparing this game to games like Chrono Trigger or the Final Fantasy series in music, but they did such an incredible job with the rest of it; it's a shame the music isn't up to the same level.)”
- “Nothing bad; but nothing really good; music fits but you're not here for the music.”
- “Most assets, including music, are taken from RPG Maker.”
- “Music 6/10”
humor

The humor in the game is well-received, with players enjoying the witty interactions between characters and the quirky dynamics, especially with romantic options like elves that were absent in the prequel. Characters like Lissbeth and Mochi stand out for their charm and comedic traits, making players eager to engage with them throughout the game. Overall, the humor adds a delightful layer to character relationships and gameplay.
- “I like the humor, and all the interaction between characters.”
- “Still funny that there are many elves you can romance in this game as there were no elves you could romance in the prequel.”
- “The characters are so precious, I want to spend time with them all... but Lissbeth gets a special spot, she's cute, funny, and doesn't judge me for hanging out near the sewers.”
