Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Overall, the team did a great job by splitting up the campaign into a variety of little stories, with different mechanics in each.
138 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
TLDR; Plenty of similarities or improvements from the first game, still buggy in Jan 2026, lots of replay value, addictive gameplay, needs bad luck protection or adjustments to RNG in some way.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
• The Upgrades: The jump from 3-player to 4-player co-op is a great change, and the new 4x2 battle grid adds some much-needed tactical depth.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Tons of really creative character classes/choices, addictive equipment/loot searching, the battles give me simple/fun Heroes of Might and Magic vibes with fun visuals.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
Sure, character DLCs are overpriced, yet their existence doesn't negate all the work that has been put into the game for free.
