At first I honestly disliked this sequel and still don’t like that one of the core Characters - Crusader is a dlc, but later changed my mind about overall game

I personally liked all that Hamlet management and heavy loadout preparation from the first part at the same time I am fan of rogue-like genre and these elements fit nicely


So what me surprised is that I have to re-learn the game and new rules, which is awesome to say the least, DD is a game to stress you out and sequel does great job at this.

What is done very good:
Increased dynamic
New interesting stress and relationship mechanic
Easier to begin
And overall story is better and game itself feels better
You even get 2 games for 1, as there is strategic mode Kingdoms

What I still don’t like
Reduced amount of healing skills
Crusader locked in dlc (but the quest is fun tho)
UI: even after almost 40 hours I still struggle finding some buttons, like leaving the hospital, that exit feels odd there. But if it is a part to stress out player more, then well done
I really wish you can change battle equipment on the pre-fight screen and you have limited time to do that while throttling on the road, stopping to think just feels bad and you know what’s coming anyway
Overwhelming variety of combat items: as you progress they just fill trashing inventory and most of them feel useless or to specific and again sometimes I think it is also a choice to stress out and prevent power creeping

Tl dr: my new of the most favorite games

You can definitely feel and see: this is a game done by people who love games, who love game making and also know how to deliver a good game. It’s hard to describe, but I did not had such deeply emotional game for long time, i think I can only recall Gris.

Artwork is just stunning. Visuals are very saturated, bright while also distinct. C418 was the right choice to make ambiance.

This game feels very old school as it only gives you 6-8 hours of plot and now it is around 20-40~. Gameplay loop is rather fun especially if you like sandboxes, game almost never limits you to do whatever you want and even rewards you for some small things, however it never tries to entertain you

It is a very tough story at the end of the day. I hope devs are going to do well and will bring new stories they want to tell when they are ready.

Literally the best thing comes free) Third phone drop always gets me) I wish it had more development like Stanley Parable, but let's be honest, it is nearly perfect in its current stage

As great as the original Hades. Can't wait to see full release and 100% it

So, I have been playing this game for almost 10 years and I have something to tell

First of all it is a mobile game and I would not recommend it playing on Steam as a main platform. This was a measure to fight emulators, by sort of legalizing them. Second, if you are ready to spent some money here, consider buying existing account with rare mobs (ld nat 5s) the market is rather oversaturated and price is fairly low, Tier lists are available on Reddit.

To the gameplay: This is very slow pace gacha farmer which is inspiration for some other games of this genre. Good thing about it, you can always follow your pace and play the game you want and developer gives tools to spend as little time on that as possible: you are busy, so you start 40 minutes grind and forget about game, if you have time and want to play, game offers many different activities and challenges (which are rather common for this genre) Trials, achievements, constant optimizing, real time arena etc... And this is rather a good thing.

New players are showered with resources on the start, however this is a game about constant restricted and scarce resources, so you are forced to deal with existing and find ways to extract most and you are in constantly optimizing your existing resources to meet your new demands, Factorio-like but lacks dynamics.

Game is constantly updated with new mechanics, QoL and balance patches. I will describe community as very friendly and most of expirienced players would rather like to help a beginner and explain complex things and how to progress.

As for paywall there is only one in the competitive play, single play content requires only time and to understand it

So to sum up: is it a good game? I'd say no. Is it a good gacha game? Definitely yes.

Game where everything is on their place: setting, plot, style, gameplay itself, you'd barely see such cohesion between elements.
Great attention to the details. Addicting gameplay and challanges for every kind of player

Absolutely worth it

What can I say, this game is so involving, that I did not notice how it became 7 am

Cool simple linguistic puzzles, as a philologist myself, I am amazed

in time you will learn the tragic extent of my failings

Very nice and neat platformer, though the game can be 100%-ed in 6~ hours, it gives heart warming emotions

In general: very good platformer with simple, but nice plot. Vast room for shenanigans, many small nice details to explore and very cool verticality of the level
