  • story
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of *Kozue's Strange Journey 2* is a continuation of its predecessor, focusing on Sayuri Shirasagi and her friends as they navigate a world filled with paranormal disturbances and mature themes. While the main narrative follows a familiar good vs. evil trope, it is enriched by complex character dynamics and engaging side stories that deepen the lore. However, the gameplay's grinding nature and limited voice acting may detract from the overall immersion for some players.

    • “Its plot is entertaining and features some twists here and there that could surprise anyone unfamiliar with the franchise the game takes inspiration from.”
    • “The mature themes and nuanced storyline are well-executed, although those seeking smoother, more animated content might find the limited CGs and lack of voice acting slightly restrictive.”
    • “expanded story: rich narrative exploring Sayuri’s journey alongside complex character dynamics and new mysteries.”
    • “Considering the content, they should be naming it Kozue after story rather than the misleading Kozue 2.”
    • “Aside from the dungeon portion, the storyline coverage involving the rest of the crew had unfortunately been dropped.”
    • “Kozue's Strange Journey 2 is a typical story about an innocent protagonist that must face the forces of evil that threaten her city (the shadows).”
  • gameplay
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of *Kozue's Strange Journey 2* features strategic turn-based combat reminiscent of the Persona series, incorporating unique battle mechanics and a blend of skill progression and social interactions. While the game offers engaging RPG elements and a solid plot, it is marred by repetitive tasks and grinding, which some players may find tedious. Overall, it provides a classic RPG experience with a focus on exploration and relationship-building, requiring players to invest time in leveling up to overcome challenging mini-bosses.

    • “Gameplay-wise, the game is unique in that it introduces battle mechanics that are different from the norm.”
    • “[b]Kozue's Strange Journey 2[/b] is a fun game to play as long as you don't mind the grind, as its gameplay is solid, its plot is good enough to keep you engaged in the game, and its beautiful art adds to the experience.”
    • “Moderate; gameplay involves strategic combat, skill management, and relationship-building through repetitive activities.”
    • “One thing to highlight about the gameplay is that it retains a fairly classic style in terms of difficulty, because although normal enemies are not too difficult to defeat, the mini-bosses are, and they have powerful defensive and offensive abilities, so if you want to defeat them you will need to constantly gain experience; otherwise, you will not be able to progress.”
    • “This is easy to see since most of the game mechanics are focused on the player performing repetitive activities to level up the protagonist and her companions.”
  • grinding
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with players noting that leveling up non-combat stats for h-scenes is time-consuming and often feels tedious. While some find the social skill grinding manageable, many express frustration over the excessive farming required to progress, leading to a sense of boredom and wasted time. Overall, the game is seen as overly grindy, detracting from the immersive storytelling experience.

    • “It's super grindy as you have to level up separate non-combat stats to be able to do h-scenes, and each NPC that is h-scene eligible has a specific stat level you need to reach.”
    • “The grinding of the social skills is okay, but the fact that you spend so much time just grinding them feels like a waste of time. When you want to immerse yourself in the story, the battles just feel boring. There is still a lot to improve in the equipment section; there isn't any control over who can equip what, and it restricts the places where you can equip items.”
    • “Requires a lot of farming to advance and complete the game at 100%.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics have received high praise for their significant improvement, featuring detailed hand-drawn character portraits and vibrant anime-style artwork that enhance the visual experience. The blend of pixel art and beautifully crafted manga-style scenes brings each moment to life, making it a feast for the eyes, especially in the context of character-driven narratives and mature themes. Overall, the enhanced visuals contribute to a more immersive and visually appealing gameplay experience.

    • “As for the visuals, the hand-drawn character portraits and still shots are a feast for the eyes, as they are detailed and nicely drawn.”
    • “Improved visuals: hand-drawn CGs and enhanced anime-style character art create a visually appealing experience.”
    • “The music remains as enchanting as ever, and the graphics have significantly evolved from the first game, blending pixel art with beautifully hand-drawn manga-style CGs that bring each scene to life.”
    • “This new installment features a significant graphical improvement over the previous title, with more detailed art, a greater variety of heroines and spicier sex scenes.”
    • “With enhanced graphics and character-driven mini-stories, players experience a blend of turn-based combat and mature scenarios.”

    • “The game lacks significant changes in subsequent playthroughs, making it feel repetitive.”
    • “Once you've experienced the main story, there's little incentive to replay it.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in this game is minimal, and players are encouraged to experience the original game first to fully appreciate the character interactions.

    • “The characters feel one-dimensional and lack meaningful growth throughout the story.”
