Daikaijuu Monogatari 2

Let's kick some more shell


Genre: rpg - japanese

Publisher: Hudson Soft

Year: 1996

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Major improvements over the original. This has all the modern retro features you could ask for, plus a much more balanced leveling system than the first game. Way less grinding required.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

The 45-minute long intro is a massive drag, but luckily you only have to do that once. The story is always in the forefront of the game, however. This si a VERY text-heavy experience. It's interesting, for certain, but man is it a lot of exposition. The setting is still weird, but this time the protagonist has a personality and background. You're a kid warped from the real world. Kind of fun. It's not my favorite, but it'll do.


Art Style Score: 5

Art Style Notes:

Fantastic pixel artwork. On par with some of the best games in the genre.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Love the music, although it's not anywhere near the heights of the Square titles. Good stuff though.


Overall Score: 81

Review ID: 1583
