    awesome sequel !!
    Even though I still agree hmh 1 was better and had the certain charm. You just can't justify giving this game a below 8 score!!
    for me Hmh1 was just better because the idea was new. I think it's quite hard to make a sequel to games with a certain gimmick. Adding a lot of cool new stuff is hard in a game totally based on the '30 second' idea. I still adored the    awesome sequel !!

    I still adored the art, music and the bosses, and i'll probably find myself grinding and speedrunning again! certainly worth it. And big thumbs up to teh developers to give the permanent 25% off for hmh1 owners (steam)    … Expand

    Half Minute Hero was absolute win and somehow Half Minute Hero 2 was even better! The story is broken into several era's and with each a different Hero with their own individual story that ties into the main one. The game plays similar to the last one: Rush around, get money, reset clock, win, which worked for the last game and everything they've done on Half Minute Hero 2 exists only toHalf Minute Hero was absolute win and somehow Half Minute Hero 2 was even better!

The game plays similar to the last one: Rush around, get money, reset clock, win, which worked for the last game and everything they've done on Half Minute Hero 2 exists only to improve upon that. Now on top of doing levels there's an overworld where you can fight enemies to improve your G-Level, which is your default level for when you start missions. I like it, though I did also see the downside after levelling up my G-level significantly only to find that missions became ridiculously easy. Still, it's a fun game with a long interesting story, great characters and an absolute joy to play.… Expand

    A charming tribute to jRPG’s, perfectly ported to PC. [06/2014, p.51]

    Fans of the original Half-Minute Hero will undoubtedly be excited to experience more of the unique franchise, but at the same time, the new additions have a tendency to drag it down a bit.

    It's endearing, provocative, and silly. But it lacks variety and never quite recaptures the magic of its predecessor. No longer a breath a fresh air, The Second Coming settles for being an enjoyable lark. And I'm perfectly okay with that.
