Asdivine Hearts II

Nice hidden gem that winds up and punches you right in the nostalgia! Wait, what? Seriously though if you played the first AH this is worth your time. I have got to give credit to the developers as I have cultivated a serious fondness for what they are producing. I baught some of the extra little bells and whistles available for purchase online(all of which are available in game as well). You don't have to spend a penny extra and the game still plays just as well. The in game currency(holy stones) are obtained in sets of 10 every few battles making them easy enough to farm. You can even adjust battle frequency to expedite this process further. Game can be adjusted to be as streamlined or tedious as you want it to be. The writing can be a bit slapstick at times though that is not always a bad thing as AH1 had those moments as well. Respectable sequel to a great game. Loved the original and this one is shaping up to be just as enjoyable.

Asdivine Hearts II feels like a classic RPG from the golden age of video games. A treat for those of us who can feel the strain of the modern gaming industry, the copy and paste of C.O.D style games, the constant push for micro transactions, and the creators removing content to sell it to you as DLC. None of these issues exist with this publisher, and Asdivine Hearts II is a breath of fresh air as a result. I give a 5 star rating to you, the publisher, and to your game. To the potential buyer of this game, if you've missed the games of old, this is a great choice.

1) I find it to be slightly better than the first game. 2) It helps to have additional systems to work/play with 3) The menu systems are much less annoying to work through. Not too bad at all, actually 4) I do prefer the battle screen of the first one. 5) There seems to a bug with general movement. Sometimes it would randomly not let me move in a direction until I let go of the thumb stick and then press again. At first, I thought it was the thumb stick starting to fail. However, I then tried a few other games and everything is working fine. So there seems to be a random bug with map movement. It's annoying but it doesn't exactly break the game per say.

Only thing i didnt like were all the cut scenes. Its still a favorite of mine im playing it over and over till i get all endings.

I am kinda withdrawn that the game broke immersion by implementing a npc to ask me to write a review. Nonetheless as much as i love turn based rpgs, i had to increase difficulty to expert at beginning. Which made the battles more challenging but in turn increased rewards which took away the grind i love. Way too early to judge game. Way too early for game to ask for a review.
