story5 positive mentions
grinding2 negative mentions
  • Engaging turn-based combat system with fun deck-building mechanics and strategic elements.
  • Beautiful and unique retro-inspired art style with fitting music and sound design.
  • Diverse characters and multiple storylines that eventually merge, offering interesting perspectives and interactions.
  • The story feels disjointed, sparse, and underdeveloped, lacking cohesion and emotional payoff compared to the first game.
  • Short overall length with limited exploration and no option to replay chapters, reducing replayability and content depth.
  • Some combat and gameplay elements can feel repetitive or frustrating, including random card draws and difficult boss fights without sufficient leveling or upgrades.

  • story

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 39% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The story is divided into episodic chapters featuring different characters, which some find disjointed and shallow, lacking cohesion and depth compared to the first game. While it offers heartfelt, family-friendly sci-fi elements and an enjoyable narrative style, many feel it is shorter and less expansive, with limited exploration and missed opportunities for stronger character development and plot unity. Overall, the story is appreciated by some for its charm and sci-fi appeal but seen by others as a step back in narrative quality.

    • “The first game felt like a complete story with a perfectly digestible theme of nostalgia which made it feel much longer and more expansive.”
    • “My daughter and I played it through together; we loved the story. It was silly and heartfelt, definitely family friendly. We loved the sci-fi elements and hope to see more of this.”
    • “The story is divided into chapters with each chapter focusing on different characters, which merge together in the middle to form a group/team.”
    • “This second game does an excellent job at combining stories across a narrative, but the stories themselves feel extremely short and hollow, so when the characters finally fight together to stop the big bad, it doesn't give that feeling of unity that a story like this should have in the final fight.”
    • “The game lacks a cohesive plot and there should be more chapters that explain the plot better and give you an opportunity to form a better in-world team.”
    • “However, it is very short, the story is very disjointed, and I think it's a step back from Echo Generation.”

  • gameplay

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    63% positive mentions, -1% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The gameplay is praised for its fun and engaging battle mechanics, including a brake system and diverse status effects that enhance strategic variety. While some players miss the exploration elements of the first game and find certain boss mechanics frustrating, the overall combat experience is enjoyable and well-executed.

    • “Like the break system in this game where you hit enemies with specific attack types enough times to break them, allowing you to do more damage and apply more status effects, which changes gameplay styles.”
    • “Pros: fun battle mechanics with interesting combo setups, and great art and sound direction.”
    • “Overall, I still enjoyed the card battle type mechanics, though some bosses hide your cards, limiting strategy and making it feel like you have to hope for the right draws.”
    • “Like the brake system in this game where you hit enemies with specific attack types enough times to break their defenses, allowing you to do more damage and inflict more status effects. This changes gameplay styles.”
    • “I was hoping for a longer experience. Having multiple segments still made it feel short, even if it took me a few more hours than the first game. I do miss the whole exploration of the first one, but the gameplay here clicks better for me.”
    • “Also, you have to scavenger hunt pixels in the black and white section, which has an instant game over if spotted mechanic in the same area.”

  • graphics

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 29% negative mentions

    The graphics are widely praised for their unique, vintage-inspired art style and overall visual appeal, with some calling it a significant improvement over previous titles. While the game looks gorgeous, there are requests for more customizable graphic settings. Overall, the visual design is considered innovative and very good.

    • “Probably one of the most innovative games I have played in a long time, great vintage graphic style feel.”
    • “Game looks gorgeous just like any other game from Cococucumber, but I would like to have more graphic settings in the game.”
    • “Echo Generation 2 is a leap improvement, especially with their unique block visual art style and multiple characters playing their unique character decks.”
    • “I would like to have more graphic settings in the game.”
    • “First, I thought its graphical style is ugly.”

  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game is consistently praised for being good and fitting well with the gameplay, enhancing the overall experience despite the game's relatively short length.

    • “This game was a blast with good music and combat, just a little bit short though.”
    • “Music is still good and fitting.”
    • “Music is good.”

  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is highlighted by amusing character interactions, such as the main characters briefly fighting alongside you, which adds a funny touch. However, some users feel it lacks the original game's distinctive atmosphere and witty writing.

    • “You see many characters from the first game appear, which was a nice add-on, and even have the two main characters fight with you for a short period of the game (hilarious how they are fighting).”
    • “Missing the atmosphere and really funny writing of the first game.”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the second game is notably different and less engaging, lacking the humor and charm that made the first game's atmosphere enjoyable.

  • grinding

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The grinding aspect is widely criticized for its tedious and unavoidable nature, with no effective way to level up or acquire new cards before key boss encounters. Additionally, some visually harsh sections exacerbate the frustration, making the overall experience feel unnecessarily grindy and unbalanced.

    • “The worst part is that there is no way to get stronger by level grinding or buy any new cards before the chain of bosses before it.”
    • “Everything is tedious, grindy, or a gacha. Prepare for migraines; some sections are in black and white, but you can't adjust contrast or saturation, so it's blinding and ugly.”

  • emotional

    The game delivers a heartfelt and family-friendly emotional experience, blending silly moments with engaging storytelling and sci-fi elements that resonate well with players of all ages.
