Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
49 of 229 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is still solid (excusing framerate issues ofc), and there appears to be enough extra content to warrant the $8 (if you own OWH).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
35 of 229 sampled reviews raised it
So many playable characters and many fun playstyles. more challenging than original (some people are crying about this)
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 229 sampled reviews raised it
And while the humor and story may not work for everyone, it really worked for me.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 229 sampled reviews raised it
the main bits that made me LIKE One Way Heroics (especially Plus) are still there: high replay value turn-based-action combat rpg with fun itemisation and good (now improved) graphics--except now there's even more content: new classes, biomes, enemies, items, etc. so, if you liked the gameplay of OWH, but want more (assuming you also played the Plus DLC), this is worth the $8.09 it currently is.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 229 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack complements the adventurous tone of the game with energetic and atmospheric music that underscores the urgency of the journey.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 229 sampled reviews raised it
If the game begins to feel like a bit of a grind, it may be a sign that you should increase the difficulty level, and that may increase the fun factor for you.
