It’s a decent overall package.Īs the name implies, DT2 is, in fact, a dungeon crawler. However, it’s the good kind of generic that serves as solid background fare. The music is generic fantasy stuff, with an equally generic rock track for battles. Some of the battle cries get repetitive, but that would happen regardless of the language. Not only do the voices match the personality of the various characters, but there’s a good range of emotions and reactions to boot. However, the actors/actresses do a pretty bang up job. It’s just not impressive.įor audiophiles, there’s only the Japanese voice track in the game. The art is fine, although the blocky looking backgrounds are ugly to look at. There are no models, the dungeons consist of miles of identical hallways, and the effects are limited. The vast majority of the visuals are static character portraits. As such, it is not optimized for the Vita. It should be noted that, in Japan, this game was simultaneously released on the PSP. To say the visuals of this game are behind the times is putting it mildly. There are things here to enjoy, it just takes a lot of patience to see them. Were it not so obvious what was going to happen, this would be a bit more forgivable. While the game does have some smaller events to keep you going in between, the story is often put on the back burner for large stretches of time. Several of the dungeons in the game are trekked through for what seems like no other reason than to pad the game’s length. Often times you can see a plot twist coming a mile away, but you’re left to slog through a multi-hour dungeon before it moves forward. The real problem with the story is how slow and predictable it is. It never gets too creepy or into harem territory though, so that’s a plus. In other ways, it’s just an excuse for all that fan service we talked about. Fried’s boss is a woman, his party members are all women, and of course, just about every enemy is a monster girl. Along the way, you’ll meet a decently large cast, consisting almost entirely of women and young girls. These people lead groups of knights into battle against monsters, and then seal said monster inside of magic books, as it’s the only way to wipe them out for good. Fried, the main character, is what’s known as a Libra. Five hundred years prior to the story, the demon was vanquished, and the monsters have since dwindled. The setting is a world where a demon once ruled the land with hordes of monsters. If it doesn’t bother you, than by all means read on and see if the other elements of the game are what you’re looking for.ĭT2’s story is an interesting mix of fantasy tropes and anime tropes. Yes it’s there, and if you get the creeps from that kind of thing, just don’t play the game. That can dominate the discussion of a game, so I wanted to get it out of the way. Most of the enemies are scantily clad monster girls, there are dozens of events where you get a close up of one of them with her clothes ripped off, that sort of thing. Let’s start things off by saying this game has a lot of fan service. Dungeon Travelers 2: The Royal Library & The Monster Seal
