Dungeon Dreams 2

As someone who really enjoyed the first Dungeon Dreams game, I was very excited to see a sequel pop up on my feed, and immediately bought it. This is the sort of indie RPG Maker game that I look forward to between major blockbusters, a game made with love by a fan of traditional RPGs for other fans of the genre. What makes this game great is the high level of party customization and the very complex random event scripting. You have a central town hub with all the shops and NPCs that you're going to be building relationships with. There's one big dungeon that you visit that is generated semi-randomly every time you enter, and each time your mission is to get a little bit farther with the goal of getting to the end. You can build a team from a large number of recruits, and most of the character building will come from earning job points and completing different class trees. The entire time, you come across tons of random events in the dungeon that unlock new party members and unlock new side quests. There are even some events that take place outside of the main dungeon and on new area maps! With the DLC, you can also date various characters inbetween dungeon runs and eventually get married and move in together. There's no nudity in this game, but it is VERY fan-servicey. My only complaints with the game are that it can sometimes be hard to know how to progress certain quests. For example, there was one important quest that only becomes available after doing a certain job in town a certain number of times, and I probably wouldn't have come across this without a guide. There can also be some bugginess when having multiple quests going at the same time, where you might enter an area to advance one quest, but an event for another quest will trigger instead. But these are relatively minor complaints. There's some post-game content and New Game+, and the game is really meant to be played more than once as there are a lot of quests that are missable your first playthrough, and each of the main classes (warrior, mage, theif) have their own entire questlines and new companions to unlock (this is based on the class you choose at the beginning of the game and cannot be changed). Overall, I hope everyone who's a fan of more old-school RPGs will give this game a chance and support the developer, because I really want to see a Dungeon Dreams 3 at some point!

party-based, turn-based JRPG with branching job classes, plenty of loot and interesting blend of dungeon delving plus social sim. Writing is good, art is nice, too. I'm enjoying the characters and their dialog so far. The dungeon delving is satisfying - I don't play enough games today that have you going far with limited and dwindling resources, putting the responsibility on you to know when to turn around versus risk going further - and that's a really strong concept for dungeon-delving. The game also does nothing to stop me from patiently grinding - which is exactly what I want to to. Love it. I'm not far in yet, but I enjoy this. For downsides/gripes so far - my controller works, but Im not finding it intuitive to make the d-pad work for this game rather than just analog stick. If there's a way, I just didn't see it. Other than that, I would prefer greater customization of the player character Azure - but the selections you get already by selecting your parents and picking either sibling is not bad. I know there's only so much customization that can be done in a game relying on portraits and sprites, and frankly this game is doing a great job of it - Still, I'll always ask for more.

good game

good lot of choo

I got this game looking to cure an itch to play Azure Dreams again. Although the combat is different, there many other similarities along with a great story where choices do matter. I went 54hrs on my first play through and that's because I just wanted to see an ending before doing all the side quests. I plan for an evil playthrough this time while utilizing the new game+ to explore the other factions, spouse options, and possibly a solo run vs the 4man group. I haven't played the first game, but seeing how the story can tie into the second game, I'm considering playing that before the I try the DLC.

Truly a fun game with a great layered storyline and compelling characters. I play daily and love it! Also great replay value with different characters linked to different story paths.

Loved the first game. Love the second one! You can't go wrong with the Azure Dreams formula. Made another interpretation of a well love classic but different enough to be addictive. It has so much content. There's enough to make you want to start it again once you've completed it and have a whole different experience. I'm on my 4th play through, now with the DLC.

10/10. One of the best. Great on deck.

Awesome
