Walk with the Living 2

I'm not quite sure I understand why this game is $10 and the original Walk With the Living is... free... but that said, $10 is not a bad value for this game. You can complete it in around 3 hours, but there's also a good deal of replay value because different in-game choices lead to completely different battles; think of FE6's Ilia/Sacae route split as a comparable situation. Like the original, Walk With the Living 2 has a few UI hangups which I would've liked to see changed. As one glaring example, there's almost no sound design in the game. At all. Scrolling through menus makes no sound. Selecting any options makes no sound. From what I could tell, all of the sounds in the game came from the default SRPG Studio assets. As another thing, units STILL don't "grey" out once their turn is finished, making it more difficult than necessary to figure out who has and hasn't taken their turn yet. I also wish it were easier to tell which side each unit was on; due to the lack of color-coding, it's often a bit confusing whether a certain unit is playable, an ally, or an enemy. Gameplay is competent, if a bit uninspired and run-of-the-mill. Walk With the Living 2 was made in SRPG Studio…

Walk with the Living 2 is a story-focused tactical RPG developed and published by EcoGoth Games that successfully blends strategic combat with an emotionally driven narrative. Rather than emphasizing large armies or elaborate battlefield mechanics, the game places its greatest strength in the lives of its characters and the difficult choices they face. Every chapter explores themes of survival, identity, friendship, loss, and hope, creating an adventure that feels intimate and deeply personal. The combination of visual novel storytelling and turn-based strategy results in an experience where every battle serves the narrative instead of distracting from it, allowing emotional investment to remain at the center of the journey. The game's storytelling is its defining feature. Conversations are lengthy but meaningful, gradually revealing the personalities, motivations, and emotional struggles of each member of the cast. The writing approaches mature topics with sincerity, giving players opportunities to shape relationships and influence important story developments through dialogue choices. Decisions often have lasting consequences that affect both individual characters and the overal…

Walk With the Living's sequel has just as much emotional power as the game before it. It'll be worth your time if you're queer, traumatized, or both; and it has a powerful tug on those whose hearts battle the trauma of grief in particular. If you're someone who still has late nights questioning if there was anything you could have done, these games? They're for you, no question. Try the first one. It's free, and it gets you familiar with the gameplay. A key difference is that in WWTL2, there is no permadeath; instead, units lose parameters and are available again next chapter. For the queer, the traumatized, the left-behinds; for those who wish their body could be something else; for those who breathe with one foot in the grave... You should also walk with the living. I know it's hard. I know you often don't want to. ...Play the first game, at least, but if you can spare it, please play this one too. It's more than worth the price, and neither game gets enough love.

Succinct, sweet, excellently-written, and queer as all hell. And it all feels natural. Unit variety is good, your dudes all feel unique, and it's suitably challenging on the hard difficulty that I was having units injured pretty much every map. Solid FE(-like). It can be a little clunky, but not overwhelmingly so, and there are stretches with no music and basically no sound, which isn't ideal? A sequel with some further UI updating/overhaul, maybe some text blips (those have a name, and I'm blanking on it) for dialogue, a few more movement and other sound effects, maybe some promotions -- could be a real banger. The characters here are so good. Iyabo and crew have such cool designs? Niamh & Deirdre & Tadhg and all the Irish names & such are super cool to see- oh, I'm blanking on birdboy's name, but, as a lover of pegasus knights, he was super fun to use... Watching Niamh go from 'damn, i saw my mom seconds away from boning down with a hot witch' to 'hm. i think maybe that runs in the family 'cause Iyabo lookin' kinda fine-' is so good? lesbian icon tbqh we love Niamh in this house and Deirdre is so... perspicacious. The girl's got wisdom! And depression! She's a ton of fun to …

Same yet deeper, more personal storytelling in the lives and what-if's of the world pursuant in previous Walk With the Living. Have not finished yet! A bit harder, but I can and do recommend you entrust thyself to Cole Brayfield's writing again. Also: <3 Frode <3
