The story continues to engage players with its themes of perseverance and the introduction of new characters, maintaining a connection to the first installment. However, some reviewers criticize the presence of filler content that detracts from the overall narrative impact, suggesting a lack of inspiration in quest design. Despite these criticisms, the ongoing storyline and hidden quests still provide entertaining moments for players willing to pay attention to the details.
“The story is as good as the first one.”
“Love the ongoing story and the introduction of new characters.”
“So much junky filler - it honestly feels like the developer lost inspiration and just threw together a bunch of quests that feel like they have no actual impact on the story or world.”
“The story is still about cleaning up old scores and getting paid for it.”
“Although less intriguing than Death Merchant, the second episode's story still entertains and is capable of some cool moments.”

The gameplay features intriguing combat mechanics that show potential but require significant optimization to reach their full potential. While the foundation is solid, enhancements in the mechanics and more detailed dialogues could elevate the game to a higher status.
“The combat mechanics are good and fascinating in theory, but they should be seriously optimized.”
“If the game was redefined in the mechanics system and included more detailed dialogues, it could aim for masterpiece status.”
