Mary Skelter 2

[h1][i]“Again by all means I want to save you And the past if I can go I will save you~ 🎶”[/i] ~Vamps[/h1] DEMON GAZE. DEMON GAZE never changes... See, there was a big problem with Experience Inc.'s game – it was good. Well, not [i]good[/i] good (there's literally no reason to choose it over the others nowadays), but let's just say it perfected the formula. Which formula? The one that was introduced to us in Wizardry XTH and then resurrected in Generation XTH. Which was heavily similar, but... you know. Didn't have the Wizardry tag on it. Anyway, the idea was – while keeping the “Japanese Wizardry” approach (while the Western series moved towards things like non-linear gameplay and storytelling, Japan intentionally stuck with squared maps) – to make [i]the[/i] most comfortable experience possible. Did they succeed? Like I said, yeah. That was the DEMON GAZE's crime. It was comfortable as F. While being a portable title (originally, it was a PS Vita exclusive), it was the most comfortable DRPG experience you could ever imagine. Up to the point where we were free to choose a point on the map, press a button, and see our party auto-traveling there. Yes, the story wasn't good enoug…

LETS GO LESBIANS! LETS GO!

There's a bug where if you change audio devices mid game, you won't be able to save until you reboot the game ;-; I think there's a few other bugs, but other than that the game has good mechanics, music and UI. However the graphics could be better. It's a good dungeon crawler. The characters are from different fairy tales and the story is set in a living "jail" with a tower at its center serving as the only escape. The jail is populated by monsters and nightmares (boss enemies you need to hide from).

This game is amazing and you should play it. I have to give a negative review, sadly, because it crashes all the time. Save everywhere. Sometimes, it even crashes while you're saving. Ugh. Can't believe I'm going to keep playing this. Send help.

One of the most back-heavy games I've ever played. Most of the game is standard JRPG fare, but the ending is great. The dungeons can be a real slog to get through at times as you have to constantly switch between movement abilities and deal with random encounters. This combined with the memory leak which makes the game crash every few hours or so can make the gameplay feel like a chore. Despite that, battles can be interesting especially with the corruption mechanic and I liked the chase sections which helped spice things up. Looking up a guide also helped me fix the memory leak and the game only crashed once in the 30 or so hours of gameplay I had after that. The story, aside from the ending, isn't really anything to write home about. The world is fairly interesting, the characters are endearing even if they're a bit underdeveloped. But the ending is great; it's hard to imagine the game having a better ending though its brought down by it only really being like the last 2% of the game. Overall, slightly above average game with a great ending. I think it's already a fine price without a sale, but if you're unsure I'd recommend picking it up on sale.

I've been enjoying playing Mary Skelter 2 (despite all the weirdness) but this game just goes on WAY too long. 46 hours played and I'm at chapter 6. This is after 5 large dungeons each with 4 to 5 levels each. I like the layout, the puzzles but the game really could be done by this point and I wouldn't complain. The combat is okay but the boss fights really come down to luck and RNG. The equipment is kind of a confusing mess, it's like choosing between Bronze +36 or Iron +3, and you have to -grind- to find it. There's just too many choices and options.
