  • The game features beautiful artwork, a great soundtrack, and an engaging story that enhances the RPG experience.
  • Improvements in gameplay mechanics, such as skill leveling and a more balanced battle system, make for a more enjoyable experience compared to the previous title.
  • The game offers a mix of classic RPG and visual novel elements, providing a nostalgic feel while introducing new features like crafting and exploration.
  • The game suffers from balancing issues, particularly with enemy weaknesses, making some skills feel underutilized.
  • The quest system lacks a log and options to cancel quests, which can lead to frustration when players get stuck.
  • While the story is interesting, it heavily favors one character's perspective, leaving the other side's story feeling underdeveloped.

    The story of "Insurgence - Second Assault" is a direct sequel to "Insurgence - Chains of Renegade," featuring a solid narrative with fantasy and adventure elements, though it is recommended to play the first title for full context. While the game presents an interesting plot involving rival factions and dual perspectives, some players noted clichés and a slow pacing, alongside a need for improvements in the quest system. Overall, the story is well-received for its artwork and soundtrack, but it could benefit from better emotional expression in character sprites and clearer quest management.

    • “The game has superb music, art, and a decently good story waiting to be unfolded.”
    • “I like this game a lot because it gave us two perspective stories.”
    • “Very good and enjoyable classic JRPG style game with a nice storyline, character development, background design, and music.”
    • “For the story, there are some cliché scenes where they get robbed again on a bridge; it's just repetitive.”
    • “Anyway, what we have here is a pretty solid but kind of slow story about a war between two rival factions/nations, and I can't really explain too much about it because I haven't played the first Insurgence title (Chains of Renegade). In the middle of it, we have two seemingly different characters who have two different objectives.”
    • “I've played 2 hours, and it does seem like I'm just at the first steps of the actual story.”
  • gameplay
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a blend of RPG and visual novel elements, featuring turn-based combat and exploration, with a focus on skill management and character customization. Players appreciate the improved battle mechanics over the previous installment, allowing for strategic skill combinations and leveling up, reminiscent of titles like Octopath Traveler. Overall, the game offers a rich experience with engaging mechanics, appealing graphics, and a compelling story.

    • “It's a combination between RPG and visual novel. I don't have a problem with the classic RPG gameplay, though I didn't play the first game, which I guess is a mistake to play the second one before the first.”
    • “And now let's talk about the mechanics. This game has some real battle mechanics, unlike the first game where you basically mashed the enter button. Now you have to equip the right skills and weapons to exploit enemy weaknesses, just like in Octopath Traveler. I strongly believe the developers were hugely inspired by that game, but with an extra twist: 'skill equip,' where you can equip your character with skill sets, allowing for double attackers or double magicians. To make it even more interesting, the game has a skill level-up system, where the more you use a skill, the higher the damage and the lower the TP/MP cost.”
    • “The game has a skill mechanic that allows the player to collect various skill sets and equip them to the characters, making it fun to try different skill set combinations.”
    • “It's a combination of RPG and visual novel. I don't have a problem with the classic RPG gameplay, though I didn't play the first game, which I guess was a mistake to play the second one before the first.”
    • “Well, it could actually be a more well-produced RPG. Nowadays, a lot of RPGs use visual novel-like storytelling to carry on the narrative while keeping the classic turn-based combat as a way to add some gameplay to the story itself.”
    • “However, gameplay-wise, there is actually so much to do.”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received high praise for its relaxing and immersive qualities, with many reviewers highlighting the soundtrack as a standout feature. Composed by Ken Nakagawa, known for his work on the Ar Tonelico and Atelier series, the music complements the game's aesthetic and enhances the overall experience. Additionally, the soundtrack is accessible on platforms like Spotify, further adding to its appeal among players.

    • “You know, I do love the music; it's relaxing and fits the game.”
    • “Something that takes the spotlight for me would be the soundtrack; it's amazing and it's somehow also available on Spotify. Did you know I'm one of the 132 monthly listeners to DJ Deku, and I listen to the Suguri OST every day?”
    • “Music is really nice, reminds me of Ar Tonelico and Atelier series. Wait... wait a minute... it's Ken Nakagawa who composed for Ar Tonelico and Atelier series who composed this game's music?”
    • “In mechanics, music, and translation quality (especially this one).”

    • “If you're looking for a game that you can finish quickly, but requires a lot of grinding beforehand, this game is for you.”
    • “The gameplay involves RPG elements with exploration, turn-based combat, and a significant amount of grinding.”
