    • “The music fits the mood of the game well while also sounding very good, especially true for the battle music.”

Overall, while the game builds on its predecessor with expanded features, it struggles with clarity and depth in gameplay.

    • “Loved it, great expansion upon the mechanics of the first game, highly recommend playing it!”
    • “Gameplay is fast, responsive and is just fun, nothing more to add here.”
    • “Another one of the weaker aspects of the game is the combat, which is separated from the overworld gameplay.”

  • grinding7 mentions

    Reviews on grinding in the game are mixed; some players find it tedious and frustrating due to power scaling and the constant introduction of overpowering gear, which diminishes the challenge of encounters. Others appreciate the lack of grinding, noting that the game offers a fair difficulty without relying on grind-heavy mechanics, making for a more enjoyable experience overall.

    • “A progression system that only makes the fights more tedious the further in the game you get due to power and cost scaling.”
    • “Getting money in this game is such a stressful event. I'm sure I was doing it wrong, but I'm used to grinding for money and XP to get better stuff and be stronger, but I couldn't for the life of me find a way to do that without it actually bringing negative results to my party.”
  • stability4 mentions

    The game suffers from notable stability issues, including bugs in the battle system and glitches in the final section. Additionally, the repetitive design of NPCs can detract from the experience, as players may struggle to engage with unique characters amidst a sea of similar-looking ones. Overall, the gameplay feels basic and slow, contributing to a less polished experience.

    • “Kinda buggy, and most battle tracks are way too short so the loop is very obvious, especially the one for the final boss in the non-corrupt ending. Many overworld NPCs look exactly the same, which makes talking to every single one of them hard. Also, when they challenge you to a fight, it's like 'welp, time to fight nameless NPC #93724,' but then the battle starts and the NPC turns out to actually be this memorable, interesting character with lore, and it's like... man.”
    • “Battle system is basic, slow, and a tad buggy.”
    • “The battle system is a little rudimentary, a little slow, and also a little buggy.”

    • “It includes a black and white atmosphere, or noir.”
  • emotional2 mentions

    The game evokes a wide range of emotions, blending horror and humor with heartwarming moments, culminating in a poignant ending that left players teary-eyed. Many reviewers express a strong emotional connection to the narrative, encouraging support for the developers.

    • “The game is equally horrifying and weird as it is hilarious and heartwarming.”
    • “I just beat the game, and all I can say is that I cried a little at the end. Support the devs! The game costs very little.”

    The game offers a thrilling experience, but its replayability is considered very low, leaving players with little incentive to revisit it after the initial playthrough.

    • “The replayability is near zero, though. But man, what a ride... even if I had no idea what was going on half the time.”
    • “Once you finish the game, there's little incentive to go back. The story doesn't change, and the gameplay feels repetitive.”
