The gameplay features innovative mechanics like the barrier buff and enhanced boss puzzles, particularly with unique challenges such as Tiamat's clone mechanic. While the sequel maintains a similar style to its predecessor, it offers more fluid dungeon exploration and customizable difficulty options, making combat enjoyable and accessible for players. However, some players have mixed feelings about the division of old characters' movesets.
“The game introduces some new mechanics like the barrier buff, which absorbs a certain amount of damage, but is also weak to certain skills.”
“Of note is Tiamat, who has a clone mechanic to force the player to pay attention to who the real one is.”
“I find the combat mechanics super satisfying.”
“The sequel is definitely more creative with boss mechanics, though I have mixed feelings about splitting the old characters' movesets.”
“As for boss balance, they have a lot more puzzle gimmicks compared to the previous game, especially when they have access to the barrier mechanic.”
“The gameplay and dungeons were more fluid, and it was nice to see the enemies to avoid random encounters in the dungeons.”

Players note that the sequel lacks the bestiary feature from the original game, making it more challenging to identify and prioritize enemies for farming rare drops, which can hinder the grinding experience.
“Unfortunately, the sequel doesn't have the bestiary that the first game had, which means it can be harder to keep track of which enemies one should prioritize for farming rare drops.”
