About Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2
Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2 is an action RPG with rogue-like elements that continues the story where Lovecraft’s Untold Stories left off, taking the characters to a new stage in their fight against the Unknown, in a completely new graphics style. Loot drops of randomized gear and resources to craft your own, explore old and new procedurally generated locations, defend yourself against dozens of different enemies and face off against epic bosses! Beware, for the game is more challenging than ever before, and the tough nightmarish creatures opposing you will not give up easily!
A PAINTING FOR CRAZINESS
The Surrealist Artist Ardois-Bonnot presented his painting called Dream Landscape in the Paris Spring Salon of 1926. The moment the painting was uncovered, it caused a sudden riot among the public, and people screamed and ran all over the place. Soon after the exhibition, Ardois-Bonnot fell into a strange deep sleep from which no one could wake him up. Rumors abound that shortly before this attack of ‘sleeping sickness’, he was at the verge of completion of his greatest masterpiece which would change the world.6 DIFFERENT CHARACTERS
This time, you will have access to 6 different playable characters, old and new, each one with a different playstyle. The Detective, the Witch, and the Professor from the first part, which continue their fight against the Great Old Ones, and the Medium, the Veteran, and the Alienist who join the group of adventurers.CRAFTING EQUIPMENT
One of the new elements that we are including in Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2 is the possibility of crafting your own equipment. Find blueprints and resources to create and improve new items (clothes, weapons and consumables), and see how every item changes the appearance of your character.ROGUELIKE ELEMENTS
The game is not pure roguelike, you will not restart the whole story if you die. Levels are randomly generated and should you die, you will have to start from the beginning of the area, with enemies and loot both reset again. Don’t forget to explore and pick up side quests in order to get as much loot and resources as possible, so you are able to progress in your main story.- Fight dozens of different enemies, monsters and terrifying bosses from the Cthulhu Mythos in this intense, challenging action RPG. Ferocious beasts in the Swamps, Asylum lunatics, City thugs and the demonic creatures from the void will test your resolve to uncover the truth!
- Meet the 6 playable characters - 3 familiar faces from the series and 3 complete newcomers - each with their own weapons, gear and skills. Switch between them freely and pick the one most suited for the task at hand!
- Collect hundreds of different weapons and clothing items, or craft your own - scour every last room in a level, open every single box and get rewarded with randomized drops of gear, money for trading or resources and blueprints for crafting.
- Side quests are crucial - you can earn extra resources and items and get that extra bit of advantage you may need to be able to progress in the main story. Don’t forget to trigger side quests every time you encounter them, you don’t have to finish them right away, but keep them for when you need extra loot!
- Exploit the roguelike elements - level maps are randomly generated, as are all lootdrops. The game is not pure roguelike, if you die or choose to restart the level, you only lose progress in the current area. Use this to your advantage and if you don’t get the loot you wanted, try again!.
- Make use of Charms and Amulets! Sacred relics which grant strange new abilities. Find those that serve you the best and make your journey unique - but beware, power may come at a cost!
- Plunge into the world of darkness where every step could be your last. Balance on the brink of madness as you explore the Asylum and various other locales in the city of Arkham, Swamps, Enchanted Forest, even the Underworld and many more mind-bending locations, all in procedurally generated levels!

Game is still a complete buggy mess, had multiple runs where a store or something would freeze, wiping any progress. Icons not showing up, among other things. Just buy the first one, it's SOOO much better then this, so glad I got this junk on sale.2 found this helpful
Yeah, it's pretty terrible.2 found this helpful
The first game was a buggy janky mess. But I loved it. It was an amazing albeit sometimes frustrating game. This one just sucks. I don't know what I'm supposed to do, and I wasn't able to get into it. Maybe I'll try again sometime, but it's just so much worse than the original that I can't bring myself to like it. And don't get me wrong the original was a mess.1 found this helpful
Terrible, do not buy.1 found this helpful
I wanted to wait to finish at least one story but I have to get this out of me... Like everybody else, I also say the first game was wonderful, one of my top 5 videogames, I didn't even mind the bugs that much - but this is a train wreck. The art style is quite nice, even though the design of most enemies look like action figures from the 90s. And now we already go to the bad things. Remember the destructible environment object? - Gone! Now there's so much clutter that is indestructible, completely hides anything that doesn't move (sometimes even the player character) and gets you caught between fight if you're not careful. Furthermore the controls are wonky as hell, so far every second shot doesn't do anything to enemies (which is hilarious since you start with a 2 shot shotgun if you choose the Detective). Just good that the enemies are stupid as hell too, since you can just make them change direction in the right spot and reload. The crafting system introduced is interesting, but the ingredients clutter your inventory so fast, that you not even half way into a level can't pick anything else up. And I can't really explain, but the first game kinda pulled you in…
I wanted to enjoy Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2, but I had to give up because I just couldn't progress in the story any further. The game is really held back by the lack of difficulty settings, because by default the boss enemies are massive bullet sponges who inevitably kill me before I can pump out enough damage. I found the setting and central mystery really intriguing. The artistic aesthetic and music are good. I liked the enemy designs too. The exploration was fun, and I liked the level design and world map. The crafting mechanics aren't very well implemented. I had nothing that I wanted to craft available that would have made the game easier, but lots of materials available. The currency doesn't help either, because I couldn't afford anything from the vendors. The game would have also really benefitted from some RPG mechanics that would improve my character's stats. So all together, these design issues make the game feel unnecessarily difficult, and without any pathways for the player to improve.
