Planet Stronghold 2

Recommended on sale for fans of the original. Some clunky systems and a strong tether to the first game may make it less approachable for newcomers, but for those familiar it is worth rejoining the cast. However, there isn't enough new or added to be worth full price expectations in light of some stumbling blocks. I would recommend you also check out Sunrider, Our Adventurer Guild, Magical Diary Wolf Hall, Sakura Dungeon, Serment Contract with a Devil, or Cherry Tree High Girls Fight that all have better polish on their systems. +Art style +Class/skills customization +Exploration, events, quests +Impactful choices +Continues the story where it left off +Some good music tracks +Character alignment, relationships +Save anytime +Turn-based battles +Some battle voice/barks +Auto battle option +Variety of weapons, armor, items +Choices on level up -Barebones options -Can't customize appearance -Lacking tooltips -Mouse only -Some hidden controls (H to hide UI) -No rebinding -Buggy, some error screens, UI/stat issues -Tutorial text info dump -Some areas lack any music -No voiced dialogue -Some sound effects are piercing -Poor volume normalization -Low quality battle voice -Lacking backs…

Planet stronghold II is an adventure game, with a fully adult cast. At first glance it might seem to be a visual novel with a lot of choices, but in the native mode fighting enemies and soldier management will take up a lot of time too. Thankfully the combat system is interesting enough. While the game can be played in visual novel mode too, I wouldn’t recommend it for the first playthrough. All it does is auto complete successfully all combat, but without XP and loot reward. It renders all combat skills, all equipment and leveling up useless. Buying/selling, upgrading equipment has no point. Also the fights add a much needed change to the game’s pace. The graphics of the game is good. The character portraits are aesthetic. In the visual novel parts they will have several expressions and poses. The backgrounds are reasonably detailed, and there will be a lot of different locations. I liked the music, there was enough variety for it to not become grating. There was only one combat music, but even that was reasonably neutral. In fact most music was surprisingly good for such an indy title. If you finish the game, you will listen to a song, that continues into the credits. The …
