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.”
