Этому г**** мамонта лет больше, чем большинству его игроков. Устаревшое, сломанное, никуда нигодное уг. За столько лет могли хотя бы движок обновить, а то застревать в объектах и использовать это как гиммик в 2024 - курам насмех.

Это не игра, а скорее феномен. Покерный rogue-lite с бесконечным геймплеем - сочетание, созданное на небесах. В карты можно и так играть бесконечно, а тут различные модификаторы, специфичные колоды, ограничения, бонусы. Единственная игра, где применение данного жанра выглядит максимально уместно и в тему. MUST PLAY, YOU HEAR ME!? IT'S A MUST PLAY!

Плюсы:

Приятный интерфейс
Великолепное звуковое сопровождение
Отменный и выдержанный временем геймплей
Наличие мультиплеера, приватные комнаты и самое главное: режима батл-рояль
Поддержка от разработчика: постоянные улучшения. Неткод хороший, инпут лага замечено не было

Минусы:

Время покажет

10/10.

Идеальная игра.

More of the same as the free prequel. Dirt cheap and pretty much worth it.

The game itself is absolutely great yet the lack of support from the developers and its always online DRM make it a tough sell for anyone who isn't a fan of the franchise. Think twice before buying it if you're not a long time fan of the franchise.

Don't read the negative reviews. Most of them are bashing the developers for removing R-18 content due to their country laws in relation to adult content and its complete ban. However, I believe this game has a lot more than that going for it.

Mirror 2 is match-3 type of game where you are greeted with awesome-looking and detailed mmd models, great visuals, fantastic animations, decent voice acting and solid gameplay. To top it off, the game has multiple endings FOR EACH STORYLINE you play! This game has improved in every single department compared to its predecessor and it is an eye candy that I can't get enough of. What's more, at this price point it is AN ABSOLUTE STEAL! I'd be willing to pay a lot more for this knowing the amount of detail and effort put into it. I liked this game quite a lot more than HuniePop 2 that released earlier this year despite the fact that it does not feature any R-18 content. Yes, the themes are somewhat suggestive but they don't go overboard which makes it easy to recommend to those who consciously avoid or feel uncomfortable playing R-18 games.

Update: there is 'home' where you can control the characters, explore the location and find new poses and points of interest. So, it's basically two games in one which is even more INSANE. However, 'home' right now doesn't have much content and the characters and their postures are somewhat limited in how you can customize them. Feel free to exlore at any time, no R-18 content as of now.

Note for fellow Lowspec Laptop / PC Gamers like me: the game is somewhat graphically intense featuring really detailed models and some fancy visual effects so keep in mind that this won't run smoothly on any random potato PC. You need to at least have 2 cores / 4 threads clocked reasonably ( at least slightly above 2Ghz ) and a capable graphics cards ( at least Vega 3 in double channel / any discrete graphics cards above GT730 GDDR5 variant ).
My specs: Athlon Gold 3150U 2 cores (4 threads) + Vega 3 (in double channel) = 1080P lowest -> 15-25 fps, 720p low -> 30-40 fps. I didn't exactly see the fps counter, but I'm pretty sure the numbers are close to real results. Is it playable? Yes, but you have to compromise some visual fidelity for that. Just a friendly warning and something to keep in mind for those who play on lowspec machines like mine :)

Do I recommend this game? 'YES! YES! YES! YES! ... YES!' - Jojo (c)

Pros:
+ Decent mechanics that work very well. It feels just right whether you are shooting or just running around. No joke, some games can't get even that right (I am looking specifically at you, Blasphemous).
+ Nice visual art style.
+ The ambient music doesn't distract from the action.
Cons:
- The flow of this game is its main weakness. As a time-killer, time should pass seemlessly but every single session just drags and the main reason for that is balancing issues. The game requires you to focus on the action all the time since you are way underpowered compared to your enemies and to top it off the enemies get stronger / faster too fast which can overwhelm you really quickly. More often than not you don't even have enough time to think about upgrade strategies and restlessly run away from the hoardes of enemies but to no avail - they will eventually surround you even if you have +150% speed in total which is ridiculous.
- As of now, there is very little content for my taste. Some characters, weapons and runes and that for some reason isn't enough for me. I'd like to see an extra in-game shop for some special gameplay goodies either to make life easier or to add new features to basic gameplay mechanics. More variety in enemies would also be nice and as well as some complete balancing overhaul. I want to at least have 5-10 minutes or relatively careless action before getting completely owned.
I think the developers should just refrain from that time limit concept which sucks and make a more moderately paced time limit free survival journey like HoloCure. The latter is a better game in all reguards + it's free so...yeah.

Is it a terrible game? No.
It needs a lot more content and some serious balancing tweaking for me to enjoy it. It's a mere time killer after all, I wanna kill time, not be in the zone all the time.

Just tap to the rhythm. Simple as that. Cool and chill game.

If you've paid for the whole keyboard and wanna use all of it and get the most value - this game is for YOU!

Pros: This is a working BMS player with multiplayer. Well, that alone amounts to something I guess?
Cons: LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!
1. The interface is ATROCIOUS! It's a СLUSTЕRF*СK of infinite options you have to navigate through using the Function keys (F1-F12)...in 2022. That's just ridiculous.
2. Would making a regular menu like in Quaver/Dj Max/ (Osu! for crying out loud) make the initial set up flow like 10 times faster for newer players? Besides, what's with those icons to the right? Why would you make a separate tutorial for every single action if could just...again...make a regular menu which everyone can easily refer to and would eliminate half the problems!
3. Yeah, the standart key layout here is [asd space jkl] but let me tell you something...not everyone uses it. Wowzers! Besides, I don't need key-4 being yellow! Heck, is this yet another o2jam close in disguise or a legit BMS player? 'You can customize it'. It took me 5 minutes to figure that out because again...WAY TOO MANY OPTIONS I DON'T NEED TO BEGIN WITH!
4. The ranking system...why did you have to change it? Where are my bois double As and triple As? What's with that osu!mania-like 'S'? Okay, I get it, custom BMS players that isn't a BMS player...complicated but I get it. It functions and at the end of the day that's what matters.
5. The built-in downloader...LMAO! IT'S JUST A REGULAR BUILT-IN BROWSER THAT OPENS THE BOF(U)'S/PABAT'S EVENT PAGE!
You know what, we've been using LR2 for years at this point, it's not a problem to download bms sets on our own and install them proper but hey if you claim the client has a built-in downloader (a-la Quaver) than it should function exactly like that: you click the song -> it's automatically downloaded and installed and you can instantly play it. But I get it, potential copyright issues. Then again, there are some authors you won't have any problems with. As in, you could have easily included some of er's or SHIKI's songs just to get people started without much of a hassle.

For years people have complained about LR2 being too hard to set up but you know what? I think this player is even MORE CONFUSING even for me, as a long time LR2 player. Yeah, the basics are easy to understand but when it comes to fune-tuning it was A PAIN. I hope things might change in the future but knowing where it comes from (no offense, you just like doing it 'your own way' that contradicts common sense sometimes) I have a gut feeling that things won't improve in any way and the game will remain a niche player in the korean community and continue to evolve into yet another o2mania player instead of a proper BMS player which is sad. Thanks for the effort anyway!

P.S As a cherry on top of all of that the game has NO indication whether the map someone is hosting is being downloaded or not. As a result, I couldn't play a single match! Fantastic! :D

3 new charactrers with unique set ups that add insane variety in chaining the goons.
New moves for every SoR4 character that might spice things up even for those who have mained a specific character.
Groovy music by Tee Lopes.
New Survival mode for those who like to spend some quality time with a reliable partner managing new perks to get through the hardest challenges out there.
Is it worth it? Absolutely yes. Great job, Dotemu!
