What players say

Players are split on Valthirian Arc 2. Veterans of the first game report the turn-based combat and rigid story make the game feel less free and more grindy than its browser-era predecessor. Newcomers enjoy the management loop once past the slow first hour, but many agree on a clunky tutorial, an obscure systems, and lingering bugs even after a major update.
