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

    - 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 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    Glad i didn't bought this game.

    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

    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.
