Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Plays exactly the same as the first game. The only noticeable improvement is the ability to change formation and create three predefined auto-battle settings. Simple battle mechanics that work just fine. Easy game.

Level Design Notes:

Again, just like the first game. Linear but easier to figure out what to do next. Each area looks and feels distinct, giving the world life.

Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Epic story - especially compared to the first game. The big bad is introduced early and looms over the plot. a long, unskippable Less of Working Design's juvenile humor. Excellent voice acting in the cutscenes.

Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Much improved visuals. Still tiny sprites and minimal animation, but far better details, particularly in the battle backgrounds. Not top-tier, but good visuals.

Audio Score: 5

Outstanding music. Sounds effects are barely there but the soundtrack makes up for it. Voice acting is much improved over the original.

Overall Score: 80
