What players say
Pretty good game, but imo not as good as the first one. The exploration feels kinda lacking and gets a bit tedious at times. Still had fun with it though. Overall, I'd give it a 7/10. Solid Metroidvania, just not as good as the first game.

Good game. I really like it. I cleared Casual and Hard. Now playing Ulti-maid mode.
This game is absolute fire. especially as a co-op experience. there are a bunch of little details. paths. secrets. weapons. character building. And it was cool enough to include the girls from the first game as a boss fight. this game is fire. the mixed review or negative ones from from people who do not understand metroidvanias. this is a great metroidvania and absolutely worth the purchase even if its not on sale.
