Gameplay-wise, its a fairly standard turn-based RPG. Airdashing on world map feels fun, but lets be so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fr. You're not here for the gameplay. This is a game you play for the surreal and wacky art, and the smooth electric guitar, and those weirdo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ enemies all. Moving around like that. Take a look at the trailer. You ♥♥♥♥ with that? I ♥♥♥♥ with that. If you ♥♥♥♥ with it too get the game. It's awesome.
The platforming in this game is the worst thing I've ever played. You can only move in 8 directions, but the game asks you to navigate curves and jumps at angles that are very awkward and almost impossible. Also, because of the art-forward nature of the visuals, some of the platforms are impossible to intuit the position or height of. Despite these rage-inducing platforming challenges, I cannot poorly review this game because the art and story are just too entertaining and beautiful.

Si Hylics 1 te llamó la atencion por lo diferente que es, Hylics 2 te encantará. Esta entrega mejora todo lo que su antepasado dejó, a tal punto de ser otro juego totalmente diferente. Arte llamativo pero muy extraño, animaciones mas lindas, un combate mas desarrollado, una dificultad muy buena, un mapa que, aunque es pequeño, es interesante explorarlo y hasta su soundtrack da ganas de escucharlo... alguna que otra canción. Si buscas un RPG de máximo 20 hrs, interesante, diferente y con más de una sola jugabilidad, Hylics 2 es tu juego.
Hylics 2 continues the psychedelic surrealist presentation of its predecessor, which of course would be expected in how much of its identity comes from that. As a game, what you're getting here past the VERY stylish presentation is a fairly solid turn-based RPG with some interesting mechanics in the spells. Lots of heavy focus around status ailments, both in terms of ones you cast upon the distorted monsters of the world and ones your party may become afflicted with, which is not always a bad thing. The overworld is pretty cozy to maneuver, though I found myself getting lost a number of times due to to the scale of the larger world map, but also because of the unconventional design of the smaller maps. If you can get past that though, this is overall a pretty solid experience. Definitely an upgrade over its RPG Maker-made predecessor, which in itself was already a bit of a stylistic flash in the pan even amongst its other abstract contemporaries. (OFF, Space Funeral, Ib, Yume Nikki, etc) Give it a shot if you're invested enough in those trippy elements.
Hylics 2 es un RPG por turnos donde el punto fuerte del juego es su arte distintivo e incluso, para algunos, "perturbador". Como RPG, es bastante entretenido, con menú de equipo, objetos, etc. Si bien ocupé una traducción al español (no oficial), esta estaba en español latino neutro y bastante bien lograda. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3024726882 Es un juego cortito que me recuerda mucho a EarthBound, aunque sin una historia tan profunda e incluso algo confusa. Lo recomiendo.
Theres just something about it
i loved the 1, but this one... is one of the worst pieces of ♥♥♥♥ gameplays ever. It makes no sence, why did they make it so stressfull and like without any congruence at all. Fkin hate it. The first was amazing and really warmthfull, and amazing and really just wanted more of it. But what is this ♥♥♥♥???
You know a game is good when it's named Hylics 2
since my last review i got 14 bones, 4 meat and 1 cupcake.
