The gameplay retains a familiar feel to its predecessor, yet manages to offer a fresh experience rather than a mere copy. It strikes a balance between being low-pressure and challenging, catering to both new players who will face a steep learning curve and veterans looking to master the game's intricacies.

- “The gameplay feels very similar to the previous part.”
- “Still, it does not feel like just a copy-paste despite nearly identical gameplay.”

The story in "Evil Maze 2" is minimal, featuring only two endings and a straightforward plot centered on the protagonist Suhaya's mission to revive her friend Alma. While the narrative lacks depth and suffers from translation issues, it serves as a backdrop to the gameplay rather than a focal point, and it avoids being a direct copy of other popular stories. Overall, the story is functional but not particularly engaging.
- “Evil Maze 2 is a hidden object action RPG about Suhaya’s mission to revive her friend; kicking off where Evil Maze left off, Suhaya needs your help to bring Alma back from the brink of death.”
- “The story isn't unique, but at least it's not a carbon copy of Naruto.”
- “There is little to no story here, and there are only two endings: good and bad, so two runs are really enough to see all.”
- “The previous game had a similar amount of story, so not much has changed in this department.”
- “There are some iffy translations, and the story seems... not quite there, but they aren't really the point of the game, so it's a minor thing.”

The humor in the game is characterized by a mix of light-hearted banter and absurdity, often featuring amusingly simplistic boss dialogue and intentionally exaggerated mis-translations that add a layer of comedic violence. While it may not be groundbreaking, it provides a quirky charm that can elicit laughs.
- “The boss dialogue won't knock your socks off; it pretty much just boils down to 'I need to get through, why do we need to fight?' and the boss responds with 'The king is pretty cool, huh?' with some funny and exceedingly violent mis-translations tacked on for good measure.”
