What players say

Players call it a worthy sequel that expands the first game's formula with planetary travel, more metroidvania-like exploration, and no wasted trips. Some say the increased difficulty can feel more punishing than fun. The story goes further than expected, and long-time fans enjoy the callbacks to Sunsoft games.
