How it feels

A sprawling, emotionally charged turn-based JRPG that feels like a tense, melancholic journey through a fractured nation, balancing political intrigue with personal bonds.

What players say

Players say Cold Steel II is a direct sequel that improves on the first game's gameplay but suffers from pacing problems and an uneven story. The early game is unbalanced on hard difficulty, and the first half drags. Some consider it one of the weaker entries in the series.
