    A charming and likeable musou offshoot, that adds new elements to the huge battles and is even worth a try for skeptics.

    Much like its predecessor, Dragon Quest Heroes II isn't short of opportunities for high-volume slaughter while effectively preserving the charm of Dragon Quest. Omega Force's thoughtful mix of familiar Dragon Quest Heroes designs and new features not only makes this sequel engrossing, but it also shows this side series' potential for future installments. It makes for a satisfying hack-and-slasher that is not only a great Warriors spinoff, but also an effective gateway to the main Dragon Quest series.

    Fun But Repetitive
    A kind was murdered and you set out to travel the 7 kingdoms as your preferred character and class and set out to get to the bottom of it...
    This is a party based action RPG, you start out with 2 characters and along your journey you’ll run into more characters to join you on your journey...
    A lot of them you have to beat before they’ll join you though, which is a nice chance to see their stuff in action and choose if you’d like to swap them in as your party can only hold 4 characters at a time…
    But each character feels unique and uses different weapons that can be bought in a little hub town
    Which is where you’ll spend your time organizing your goods, crafting accessories for stat boosts, and playing through dungeons on line if you’d like
    This is also where you swap your members and prepare for battle
    The combat here is fairly swift.. But not as satisfying as it could be...
    Sort of like the dynasty warriors games... there are enemies everywhere…
    defeating these enemies will give you experience to level your character up...
    Every character seems to level up at an even pace as well as inactive party members... and you dump your skill points into new moves and stat boosts in a skill tree
    Combat here is very easy to pick up and super simple...
    You’ll pull off cool moves by just mashing the light and heavy attack buttons
    There are also special attacks you can use that use up magic points, and when you build up your super meter you basically go super saiyan and are invulnerable and have infinite magic points until it runs out
    you can also alternate between your other party members at any time to use their special attacks too..
    And eventually you’re even able to do tag moves as you swap
    you also have healing gems and herbs for tough battles that replenish when you enter a new one…
    Every once in a while characters will also drop coins when you beat them
    These coins summons in that monster for some assistance
    And each coin has its own unique action, some will even turn you into a giant monster for a short period of time
    You can really only use them until you go to a new are though.. so there is no point in holding onto them even though the game advises you to…
    That as well as your super meter depleting when you go to a new area is definitely a bit annoying and feels like a waste sometimes…
    at moments id be holding on for an epic fight that never came and my time was just wasted slashing these a bit too spongy enemies…
    And the game stays this way throughout…
    The formula is fairly predictable with a few puzzly moments thrown in there to break the pace a bit..
    But it’s a lot of get to the point on the map and level grind if you want…
    its decently fun but definitely gets repetitive as again enemies do feel a bit spongy, causing the progression to feel a bit sluggish at time...
    The story and characters are intriguing though and are good enough to pull the player through the end…
    I did start getting bored on my journey in Dragon Quest Heroes 2..
    But this action rpg is enjoyable one that I feel Dragon Quest Fans will appreciate... new fans can have a decently fun time with just game as well…
    But the repetitive nature and spongy enemies may discourage you from finishing this 30 hour journey
    I Give Dragon Quest Heroes 2

    DQH 2 is a live RPG where you are pitted against many enemies. And if you can carry a maximum of 4 characters, you can also invoke monsters atDQH 2 is a live RPG where you are pitted against many enemies. And if you can carry a maximum of 4 characters, you can also invoke monsters at your side (when they do something or not). I like all the RPG elements, it give great rewards and such. the story is ok but the dialog often state the very obvious. Combat is fun but become boring really fast. And when you hit level 18-19 the story put you in a huge spike of difficulty with a succession of many combats in a large field and dubious indications. For me, I find it unforgivable that due to the nature of repetitive combat the difficulty is not well adjusted and grinding is out of the question in that context. And the monsters you summon are often not doing much and very slow (those who have to fight for you). The graphics are actually quite fine, the voice overs are decent. But the game in general is only half done in my book. I would have preferred a real RPG. I give it a 60%… Expand

    DQH2 is a good game, amazing graphics design and it could be better if they did these things:

    - Remove the unnecessary conversation prompts    DQH2 is a good game, amazing graphics design and it could be better if they did these things:

    - Remove the unnecessary conversation prompts such as Yes/No, Save game option instead of Save Game NPC.
    - In PC version, they should let us using mouse in Aiming, Menu Selection, Steering... And they are too lazy to make the PC version showing keyboard and mouse button icons in game instead of Xbox button.
    - Some quests doesn't show location and most of Quest's Rewards are not valuable, not deserve for what we did. The monsters name are not listed and display.
    - The required items to unlock Locked Doors & Chests are giving too late or we have to finish all the game story to get.

    I think these reason above is why most people not interested in this game.    … Expand

    Glad i didn't bought this game.

    Thankfully a friend of mine has a ps4 and let me play it this vacations... wow just wow... It is    Glad i didn't bought this game.

    Thankfully a friend of mine has a ps4 and let me play it this vacations... wow just wow...

    It is terrible even compared to the first one, it has great new features but ultimately its defects make it overal worse than the first one.

    -First of all the AI SUCKS, completely, they do NOTHING, it is like they made terrible AI on purpose so you need to rely on online players.

    -Enemy AI is CHEAP, they will 100% focus the character you are playing, they will never focus anyone else, FORGET ABOUT MAKING A TANK unless you want to main it, it is just as terrible as FFXII with 0 aggro mechanics.

    -Some bosses are ridiculously CHEAP on purpose to force you to go into multiplayer... THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SINGLE PLAYER GAME!, worth mentioning is the last boss of the game Fractos second form which is one of the cheapest bosses i have seen in my entire life. Most bosses have 2 shot abilities but some even have insane AoE like Fractos second form that you will ALWAYS get hit no matter what.

    -Upgrading is annoying on purpose, it is even far more terrible than the first one crafting, just overall terrible and tedious grindy crafting and it is WORTHLESS, you barely see any difference in damage once you get better accessories.

    -They got Sage WRONG, like what the hell?, Second classes are NOT supposed to be hybrids they are supposed to be UPGRADES of any of the paths that conform it and this is not the case if you are a Mage, where Sage is useless as a damage dealer it is a stupid DOWNGRADE, unbelievable... this guys seems like never played any DQ with a class system seriously.

    -Pointless open world, just useless waste of space seriously nothing worth doing in the entire map you will just skip everything and if you want to level may aswell just go to any map but the "world map".

    On top of that it has denuvo (which was cracked anyways).

    Glad i didn't wasted my money on this game seriously it is not worth it not even 10% of what they are asking for it    … Expand
