I don't dislike this game, but Cthulhu Saves the World is better in every aspect except maybe the graphical one. If you haven't, go play Breath of the Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World. It's the best deal you'll ever get, 2€ for two amazing games.

Cthulhu Saves Christmas is okay. Considering how much I like BoDVII and CStW, it's not the best thing I could say about it.

The combat system is very similar to the Cosmic Star Heroine one, a game that bored me even when the first chapter was great. In my opinion the combat system is much worse than the one in the first Cthulhu game. In the first game you have the combo counter that adds a risk/reward, and after leveling up, you decide from two options what ability to learn. Here you are limited in what abilities use in combat. They even need to be recharged to use them again in the same battle.

The game doesn't have a world map. In it's place, you have a HUB where you watch random cutscenes about Cthulhu living in a city and getting random equipment. It's fun because the dialoge in my opinion is mostly funny. This is why the game isn't making me feel bored like CSH did. The problem is that when replaying the game, this will be more of a chore than anything else.

Again, the game is okay, if you found the first game funny, give this one a shot. I was very excited to see this game being made, but it's... just okay.
