Why players love itThings to know
42% of themes are praise33% are divided25% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its unique gameplay, evil-minded focus and silly sense of humor outshone the technical issues and awkward controls to create a fun and memorable title that proudly sits among my top titles of this generation.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story-wise, I liked the conflict between the magical and non-magical worlds - it suits the idea of a main character wielding ancient magical power through his minions.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphical engine is an improvement over the first game, offering more detailed textures, larger crowds, and smoother performance.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In the original game, you had twelve spells, which gave a nice variety to combat: enhancements for minions against bosses, shields, fire for pure damage, spells to support tactics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design complements the visuals, with a fittingly dramatic score and excellent voice acting that brings the characters and world to life.
