Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
103 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
HoF2 builds upon the predecessor bringing new features, slightly (on global scale) improving combat and making challenges more interesting both gameplay- and plot-wise sacrificing difficulty in the process.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall Hand of Fate 2 for the casual player is a major improvement over Hand of Fate 1, especially in the story department.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I never felt the combat got stale in this one, and it was at the right level of difficulty.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Much better than its predeccessor, but still repetive, especially due to the longer gameplay in endless mode, the music and sound design takes much of Hand of Fate 1 and adds to it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is also very well made and optimized, with beautiful graphics, sound, and music.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While I will praise the improved graphical engine, character customization, partner system, and further flushed out dialogue for making the game feel more like a lively fantasy adventure it seems to abandon the framework of the original game which is what made it fun.
