Arcane Arts Academy 2

[i]Arcane Arts Academy 2[/i] is a time management game developed by SQRT3 and published by GameHouse. For those who might find the title to be familiar, well, this is the sequel to the first game, [i]Arcane Arts Academy[/i]. Although it is recommended to play the first game, so as to not miss out on possible story spoilers, it isn't strictly necessary to do so. Anyway, you take on the role of Erika Tinley, a student at the Arcane Arts Academy who's returning for her second year of magic school. After the exciting events at the end of her first year, Erika finds herself to be the subject of unwanted attention, due to her popularity over [spoiler]stopping a certain major event towards the end of the first game[/spoiler]. Even though some of the students admire Erika, others, like the new prefect Dominic, have issues with her. On top of that, there's the return of a person close to Erika that she'd rather not see as well as the return of the Chaos Extremists, determined to wreak havoc in the magic world. That's the basic gist of the story, and I'll stop here to avoid spoilers. XD As for the gameplay, like in the first game, there are a total of 60 levels and you can choose fr…

I'm was so excited to play this game, seeing I really enjoyed the first Arcane Arts Academy. The follow up wasn't interesting at all, the story just drags on and on. It's like the developers ran out of a story and made up sh!t, the ending sucked as well. I'm not even interested in the follow up, this game really destroyed the whole story line and it made the game suck. Don't get me started on how I was expecting this huge fight in the story line with the mages battling and all they did was wave a wand around and that's it, pffft. I couldn't wait to just tick this one off, done and never to be repeated again!!

This is the second game in this particular series and it goes further where the story stopped in the first game. I did miss a bit of a recap of the story from the first game, so you won't really be introduced to the characters, but I think it is not that hard to understand the story from this game alone. If you have th…

love the theme and story line ! great time management game

I really liked the first game and was looking forward to this one but the story just drags and unfortunately REALLY boring.

The game was a nice way to pass the time (it took me 9 hours to play through it) but it wasn't my favorite GameHouse game (I think I've played all of them at this point except for [i[Undercover - Blood Bonds[/i]). The gameplay is essentially identical to the first [i]Arcane Arts Academy[/i]. Some of the levels (classrooms) are familiar and a couple of new ones have been added. There are also new mini-games. Liked: The game is well-made. The art and sound design is nice, the animations are smooth, and the game isn't buggy. Could be improved: The storyline wasn't as good as the first one, and I felt that the characters did things that were out of character for them (based on their personalities in the first game) so the story was frustrating. The dialog was awkward at times; it felt like the converations were written in another language and then translated into English with Google Translate or something like that, which has been an issue with other GameHouse games. However, my only major complaint was that the HUD (the panel along the bottom of the screen that shows how much time you have left, the items in your tray, etc.) blocked tasks or items in the level. There should hav…
