Overall, the gameplay has seen a mix of improvements and simplifications, with enhanced graphics and new boss mechanics, but some players feel that the controls and combat have become sloppier due to the removal of certain features. While the core gameplay is considered complete and enjoyable, there are calls for better enemy interactions, control mapping, and menu design. The introduction of new mechanics like room types and a dash feature has been positively received, though some feel the game lacks the depth of its predecessor.
“In summary, the controls, music, level design/map layout, secrets, item pool, and gameplay as a whole are excellent, but I'd love to see improvements with certain enemy interactions, knockback, control mapping for Xbox controllers, and menu design.”
“Nice artifact and shop and new gameplay.”
“While it's still not quite to the level where I would have liked to see the sequel start off, it's at least to the point where the general gameplay is complete.”
“Combat and movement just feels sloppier, plus they got rid of some mechanics and simplified the game overall.”
“Bosses are simple when you figure out the mechanics.”
“Less mechanics than the first game (no water, mana, devil room, challenge rooms, projectile system is greatly weakened).”

“It really seems the graphics have regressed; being 8-bit-esque was fine for the first, but this game feels like it wants to be 6-bit (I know that's not a gaming OS, dingus, that's how this devaluation feels).”
