The story in Warhammer Quest 2 is largely criticized for being forgettable and linear, lacking the depth and intrigue expected from the rich Warhammer lore. Players note that while there are main and side quests, the narrative fails to engage, often feeling like a mere backdrop for repetitive hack-and-slash gameplay. Overall, many reviewers express disappointment, especially in comparison to its predecessor, Warhammer Quest, which is seen as having a more compelling storyline and better execution.
- “Writing of the story is engaging on the just-right level.”
- “It has a map with the main story quests and random quests you have to tackle optionally in order to get items to equip your characters or money and other rewards, and some text describing situations and lore in an RPG style which is very welcome, especially to old timers of pen and paper RPGs.”
- “Presentation: it is highly detailed, cloudy in its presentation in colors and schemes, good soundtrack, build up storyline that fits the Warhammer universe and clear precise card layouts that overall all compliment one another.”
- “Forgettable storyline.”
- “- Instead of something intriguing, from the rich lore of the Warhammer world, it provides an instantly forgettable, stapled-on storyline, the lowest possible excuse to justify a hack & slash.”
- “Every level is basically identical with no storyline, nothing to keep your interest and nothing of substance.”
