Any of you who've beaten Manamon 2, what did you think of it? I haven't bought a copy so just have it in demo mode, which I haven't got too far into. I'm wondering if it's worth my time and money.
For context, I bought the first one not long after it came out and have only played through it once. I thought it was pretty good and it sparked my interest in this sort of game when there wasn't an accessible way to play any of the Pokémon series. Now that I can, it kind of feels redundant to me. But that might be just me.
@KaraLG84 I definitely prefer the second Manamon game over the first, I feel like the storyline is generally more cohesive. Although in my opinion, that isn't a high bar. I'd note that the story can get a bit heavy in some parts and has no content warnings to tell you what you're going into, and if you aren't into giant mazes I'd say it might get difficult later on. Trying not to spoil too much here lol, but those are my main personal notes. Other than that it's an okay play if you're into that sort of game, I had fun with it. Although I haven't played it since it first came out 6+ years ago.
@Kaliah Are the mazes worse than the Minorough tunnel or however it's spelt in the first one? That one was a bit of a bastard.
@KaraLG84 Yes, yes they can be worse. Some of those areas are nasty. I will note, though, that the main horrific maze is in the post game, so you can beat the game in terms of story without going through it. I'm generally good with mazes and this post game maze took me at least 3-4 hours.
@Kaliah wow. I wish it had Shades of doom's have I been here before button. That was so useful.
@KaraLG84 @Kaliah You actually do, in Manamon 2, Shift+R will tell you if you have visited an area before, and if so, when.
@NikJov @KaraLG84 Does this apply to specific tiles/small areas, or just maps?
@Kaliah @KaraLG84 Only maps. For tiles, if there is an item, or in general an interactable object, Shift+Enter will tell you if you've ever examined it before.
@NikJov @KaraLG84 Ah. Okay yeah that'd kinda be useful, but I think shades of doom will let you find out if you've been in a particular passage/room/ETC before. Now that would be very useful in these giant mazes.
@Kaliah @NikJov Great minds and all that.
