- Achievements are easy to unlock, and the game is accessible for casual play.
- The combat system is fundamentally flawed, making it easy to defeat bosses and leading to repetitive gameplay.

The story is well-crafted and exceeds expectations, though it follows a familiar trope of the chosen one battling evil to save loved ones and the world. While it lacks originality for those familiar with the genre, it effectively conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life.
“I can say that the story is better than I expected and carefully prepared.”
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“There's nothing original in it if you know and have played other games of that kind, starting with the storyline (quite ordinary for the genre: the main character is the chosen one and has to defeat evil forces to rescue family and friends and save the world, etc.).”

The music in the game has been described as average and often repetitive, particularly during battles, leading to a somewhat mind-numbing experience. While some players found it relaxing at times, the overall consensus leans towards a lack of variety and engagement.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“Music ranks from average to very repetitive and mind-numbing (especially in battles).”

The graphics have been widely criticized for being cheesy and subpar, with particular disdain for the quality of the monster designs, leading many users to feel that the developers did not put in sufficient effort.
“Not recommended: I did not think that it could be cheesier than part 1, but it is. This time the 'monster' graphics are horrible; they really phoned this one in.”

Overall, the stability of the game is improved compared to its predecessor, with achievements functioning properly and being easily attainable. However, players may still need to invest additional time in grinding for resources to unlock certain achievements.
“At least, in contrast to the first part, achievements are not buggy and are easy to obtain. I had to play with a recent save right after the game ended and go back to the forest to fight dozens of battles to gather enough gold for the 5000 gold achievement.”
