The game features a beautiful art style with unique character portraits and upgraded visuals.
The story is based on Chinese lore and has compelling characters and interesting worldbuilding.
The addition of more puzzles alongside action elements adds variety and keeps gameplay engaging.

The combat system is clunky, with poor responsiveness and hard-to-justify difficulty spikes, frustrating some players.
The story pacing and depth suffer compared to the first game, feeling more repetitive and less emotionally engaging.
There are minor issues such as untranslated lines, occasional graphical bugs, and map boundaries exploits.

The story is praised for its basis in Chinese lore and strong characters, though it leans heavily on spiritual imagery, which some feel sacrifices emotional depth. While the first game’s story was noted for its compelling pacing and engagement, the sequel's narrative is seen as more straightforward and task-driven, with simpler progression that may feel less immersive to some players.
- “I love the story as it's based on Chinese lore.”
- “But overall, story is great, characters are great, the art is great, and the gamestyle change is great. Hope for more to come.”
- “You spend time with the characters so you care, and the story makes you want to know why or what happened.”
- “If you are not interested in the action genre, the storytelling mode keeps the gameplay but whenever you lose all health in boss fights you just have to mash the A button to regain health, which made it easier.”
- “The game leans more into spiritual imagery and iconography, but at the expense of some of the emotional storytelling.”
- “Story in this one, I would describe as: reach point A, go get BCD and come back.”
