Planet Stronghold 2

I've played quite a lot of Winterwolves games and can say that a lot of effort went into this one! Great job! Compared to other games from this developer PS2 feels more mature, robust, more detailed. If you played the first part, you'll clearly see the evolution. The plot is more serious, humor is more strategically placed, characters feel more flashed out. Especially the old cast! Gotta say, I didn't expect to like Rebecca so much with her hot chick stereotype. I'm still angry at her though - she got all the hot guys before me! Avae being the exception and that's only because he lived in a cave all his life... lol I've played all the male romances and several endings and I mostly liked them all. Damien still being my favourite (even Tom looked nice. I'm against smoking in real life, but his "camp talk" picture looked sexy with the cigarette). I guess the old romances finally blossomed in part 2 so they feel more complete compared to new ones. But Milo and Avae just look so cute... On ...

I love this game, it's been an absolute joy to read from start to finish. So I'll do my best to leave a detailed review for those who want more information than "It's great just buy it already". (But for those of you who don't want detail, JUST BUY THE GAME IT'S GREAT!) Below I'll list some things I noticed as I played, both good and bad: I just recently finished my first run of the game as Joshua romancing Milo and I honestly just loved it. There were a couple moments that made me go "oh woah, okay, oh my god!" but that was mostly due to me downloading the optional DLC that makes things more risque, so I asked for it, and how could I possibly complain! (It was great) The PROS: - The romances are not rushed, they take time to develop and feel more natural that way. - I didn't expect to enjoy the grid based world exploration or even the combat system, I bought the game primarily to read the story, but as I progressed I found myself actually LOVING the combat. And the grid based explor...

Clearly an inferior version of the previous Planet Stronghold, both gameplay wise and graphically. Edit: Fair enough, it looks the same as Planet Stronghold 1, from 2011. The character and backgrounds are the same, fine. Still it's reused stuff with a 30$ tag price. Come on, you did way better with Planet Stronghold Colonial Defense, Cursed Lands and Amazon Princess. I love your game, but this is just Planet Stronghold v.2.0.

Usually I don’t write a review without going through at least most of the game, but Planet Stronghold 2 has become an exception: interesting story, original world, nice graphics and good gameplay. In addition, this is the third game in the series and a direct successor to PS 1, allowing its story to continue. Of course, there is an official "patch") Highly recommend!

My early opinion is this a solid role playing, visual novel hybrid game. The game gives you agency to customize your experience, and while you are free to enjoy it as a visual novel you would be missing out on a solid role playing experience, including thoughtful turn based combat, multiple ways to accomplish tasks (including non combative options), area exploration and a detailed gearing system. The story is compelling and riddled with twisting branches of choices that have impact. It is all packaged together with a pleasant art presentation and a fitting soundtrack. If you are a fan of Winter Wolves' prior works than I can recommend this as game for you, if you never tried any of them, then this a great game to start with despite being a continuation, it can easily be enjoyed as a stand alone game.

i hated for the bugs, then after complaining it to the dev they fixed it within 3 hour. would recomended the game. good dev. but i still hate forced to play other character than my own. i'm here to be a hero, not babysit hitler face guy with drinking problem.

I did a run-through of the original before playing this game, to remind myself what happened, and it took me 16 hours. One (completionist) play-through of this game took me 40 hours. In both cases, there's a whole other narrative side of things warranting at least one more play-through. In summary: it was fun! There were issues, though: there was the typical rpg problem where you're struggling at the beginning, and roflstomping everything by the end (I was 2-shotting bosses by the endgame), there were a number of bugs - all minor, like I had text from one window not clearing on moving to another once, at another point 2 characters were superimposed on top of each other, small things like that. Nothing big. Another ... not quite 'issue', but 'strangeness' was that at one point there was this whole new mechanic involving splitting the party, with a whole new interface ... and it never comes up again. At least, it didn't in the route I took. Oh, and I could access a teammate's per...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Ratings : 9/10 Planet Stronghold 2 is another excellent game that I enjoyed tremendously. Although it is a bit expensive, I felt that it is worth it, because it give me 100+ hours of fun and enjoyment. This game also have great replayability as I played it more than 10 times to get the 75 achievements. This game is a wonderful blend of both RPG and VN; both genre that I loved very much. As for RPG, you have the option of choosing 4 different starting classes (soldier, guardian, scout, psionics), and 2 different factions (empire, rebels). You can also choose either male or fema You even have the option to toggle nudity and erotic text too, without the need to download any special patches, as in most other games. Another strong point of this game is the 11 different endings, all of which are totally different, exciting and enjoyable to read. There is also the thrill of finding a different ending depending on the choices that you made throughout the game. Unfort...

I played -and loved- Planet Stronghold 1 back in the day a [i]lot[/i]. So, needless to say, I was thrilled when I found out that PS 2 was finally out after years of development. Currently, I'm about half way through - at least I do hope so, since I don't want the game to come to an end just yet. And I love pretty much every minute of it. Everyone who played PS 1 will recognize the art, characters, gameplay (for most parts) and the humour - though, I have to say, with Milo on board the "humour" spiked quite a bit. His humour is not necessarily always appropriate but he does get reprimanded for it. Something else that spikes in a weird (but already known) way is the difficulty. Especially after main events and/or venturing into new areas, it's quite possible to get your ass kicked. Especially if you either didn't buy new equipments or upgrade the current one. After that it can become VERY easy during certain fights (playing in Normal) but the old source of frustration -that is, enemie...

This game is horse$hit. "Dead" enemies that get healed back to full mid-combat just when you are about to win! I have played more than a few RPGs that weren't so brutal with downed enemies coming back. Healing mobs are one thing but downed enemies coming back outside of boss fights just sucks, IMO. Especially in early game. This game might be worth it at the $10 to $15 price point but $25 is too much, wait for a price drop or a sale. This game may be for some but not for me. Sadly, I was three hours in before I found out what a POS this otherwise fun-looking game is, so no refund for me, all I can do is vent here. Well, at least I know I can go take their other tiles off my wishlist. Also, because it just occurred to me: Yes, I can just set VN mode and play through without the annoying battles but I had hoped for an RPG that wasn't going to be so brutal at the beginning with the mainline quests. To be fair I'm sure many will love this but it's not my bag.
