    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized as a typical platform hack and slash experience, offering satisfying mechanics despite some perceived shortcomings, such as a seemingly useless spell and challenging stages that may deter casual players. The introduction of a new shield mechanic is noted, though it only becomes useful towards the end, suggesting a reliance on familiar elements from the previous installment.

    • “As always, there's one seemingly useless spell and eventually one or two stages that likely bar the casual crowd from finishing, much less the new shield mechanic (not exactly useful until very near the end).”
    • “They probably took the codebase from Sword and Bones 1, added a few new sprites, a couple of new mechanics, and new monsters.”
    • “Gameplay is typical platform hack and slash, and everything feels satisfying.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that while grinding is less prevalent in this installment, the initial pace can feel slow, requiring constant movement to avoid setbacks. However, any grinding that does occur is often seen as mandatory, particularly for completing trophy collections and achieving the true ending.

    • “On the other hand, any grinding is rather forced, as you'll be retreading to finish your trophy collection (true ending).”
    • “Yes, there's not as much grinding this time, although our start seems a bit slow or rocky: they want us to keep moving, standing hops will get you drowned.”
