Buckler 2

This platformer is very good as far as the story, missions, characters, and map. It has 2 modes, an arcade game that works like a multiplayer, and a story mode. I think it is priced well for the content and is worth getting the game. Overall, I think it should be rated 8/10 overall for this game.

I love the premise of this game and most projects that this developer has put out, but sadly, this game is too jank for a positive review. Go watch a playthrough on youtube and save those 4 dollars for another AploveStudio game

This is an amazing game with a really cool design and color palette, the controls are kinda hard, but I'd definitely like to see more about this game, or new games from the same creator

BUCKLER 2 is a compact yet surprisingly earnest indie action-platformer that blends retro design sensibilities with light roguelite structure and an understated narrative core. Developed and published by AploveStudio, the game clearly draws inspiration from classic 2D platformers, embracing pixel art visuals, straightforward controls, and a focus on skill-based movement and combat. Rather than chasing large-scale ambition, BUCKLER 2 positions itself as a focused experience built around repetition, mastery, and personality, offering players a modest but thoughtfully constructed journey through a strange and symbolic world. You take control of Venice, a quiet protagonist who carries a buckler that serves as both a defensive tool and an offensive weapon. This shield-centric design gives the game its identity, encouraging close-quarters encounters and careful positioning rather than long-range combat or flashy abilities. Enemies are designed to challenge timing and awareness, pushing players to learn patterns and react precisely rather than brute-force their way forward. Platforming plays an equally important role, with levels filled with hazards, vertical sections, and enemy placemen…

It has a cool idea but its super weird and unclear blah blah blah, theres also a bunch of crashes that make playing really annoying, if the creator made a sequel or something maybe it could be good, buckler 2 isnt good in its current state though

very fun game. There are a couple minor bugs but the only actual bad one is the game can sometimes crash if any of the miniboss roses deal contact damage which has screwed me out of the good end twice now. other than that, game is an absolute blast to play. simple and fun
