The gameplay is generally perceived as easy and lacking in strategic depth, with familiar mechanics that may not offer enough challenge for seasoned players. While the tower and shrine building elements provide some engaging moments, the overall experience is described as relaxing and kid-friendly, appealing to those seeking a casual gaming atmosphere rather than intense gameplay.
“I'm interested in games with non-combat mechanics (or at least non-combat focuses), and I feel like TTT2 delivered on a game that was engaging and kid-friendly without being saccharine or worse, patronizing.”
“I feel like the tower/shrine building mechanic was interesting but not used nearly enough - I found those levels the most interesting and challenging just for the sheer amount of gremlin power and resources they needed.”
“If you are looking for a game with relaxing gameplay, pleasant music, and an overall fairy atmosphere, then this game is for you.”
“Gameplay-wise, I found it way too easy for my tastes and very light on strategy.”
“They seem to have much the same mechanics as similar games from Alawar and elsewhere: clear obstacles in the road, harvest resources, build houses, click on approaching enemies, get mana to activate power-up spells.”
“I feel like the developers want to create something that inspires players to go through it again and again, but I'm not sure there's enough here to warrant that much extra gameplay.”

Overall, the graphics are considered adequate for the game's fun and replayable nature.
“The graphics are cute, and it's nice being able to change the characters' costumes.”
“Lots of levels, the graphics are good, good music, and high replayability.”
“That aside, this is a generic, derivative time management game, with very mediocre visuals and a completely forgettable (and thankfully skippable) story.”

The humor in the game is described as cute but insufficient to elevate the overall experience, with some marginally funny moments reminiscent of a 12 labors theme. While the characters exhibit a sense of humor, it ultimately falls short compared to other titles, leading to a perception of redundancy in its comedic elements.
“There is some cute humor, but not enough to make up for the rest.”
“Marginally funny for 12 labors style content with youth-oriented art direction and tone.”
“[+] characters' sense of humor.”

The story in this game is largely viewed as generic and forgettable, serving merely as a backdrop for the time management mechanics rather than a compelling narrative. Players find the plot to be derivative, with arbitrary goals that do not enhance the storytelling experience, making it easy to skip without missing much. Overall, the narrative fails to engage, focusing instead on repetitive tasks and resource collection.
“That aside, this is a generic, derivative time management game, with very mediocre visuals and a completely forgettable (and thankfully skippable) story.”
“My main complaint is that the level goals are arbitrary, 'gather x units of y,' rather than 'clear the exit to move on' or something like that, which feels like it progresses the story.”
“Your mission is to collect food, wood, and gold to remove barriers and free more gremlins to collect more food, wood, and gold so you can complete a set of tasks.”
