Jun 23, 2014With adorable characters having wacky adventures in space, Mugen Souls Z's charm and the solid writing kept me motivated to zip through the storyline, and the fights are still a thrill... It's just too bad that the deadly-dull non-combat sections and the ending-ruining bug keep me from recommending the game wholeheartedly.
-
Jun 19, 2014Mugen Souls Z is quit similar to its prequel and offers the same basic experience with sub-par visuals and overlong dialogues and cut-scenes. Plot is all over the place, but its unique and rather funny combat system keeps things engaging.
-
May 26, 2014Mugen Souls Z is a good JRPG with interesting mechanics, a good combat system and a deep and entertaining character customization. Despite the graphics and the long story sequences, this is a good experience for gamers who like these kinds of products.
-
May 15, 2014Mugen Souls Z isn’t a great RPG, but it’s an entertaining one, and there’s enough meat on its bones to keep you playing for a good long while.
-
May 22, 2014Go into it with your eyes open, and it may end up being a pretty fun experience.
-
May 23, 2014Mugen Souls Z feels like a rehashed, more tedious version of its predecessor that wasn't really needed.
-
Jul 18, 2014Nevertheless, for anyone who enjoyed the first game Mugen Souls Z is more of the same, slightly refined and smartened up. For those accustomed to big-budget JRPGs – Ni No Kuni, Tales of Xillia – it definitely looks like a budget title and will underwhelm.

Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaJul 16, 2014Improves upon the original in only minor ways, is still repetitive and reliant on you ignoring its unpolished nature, because bewbs. [August 2014, p77]
-
May 30, 2014Mugen Souls Z boasts a lot of content and all the fan service you could want, the lack of challenge, the bad writing and the mediocre graphics drag it down. Only for fans.
-
May 23, 2014If you’re into the anime style games and don’t mind trekking through a good amount of inconsequential dialog, it’s not a bad choice.
-
May 21, 2014Mugen Souls Z does little to rock the boat, so fans of the original might be interested in revisiting this title, but anyone else will want to give it a pass.
-
May 15, 2014Just like many of the game's secondary characters, it will be difficult for most players to be convinced that experiencing Chou-Chou's charms is worth the attendant drudgery.
-
May 29, 2014It improves certain aspects of the original game, but still, some basic elements like gameplay and plot don't seem to work as they should.
-
May 20, 2014Mugen Souls Z feels like more of its predecessor, with the same plodding story pace, whiny, forgettable cast, and fill-in-the-action cutscenes.
-
Aug 22, 2014As a tactical roleplaying game it serves its purpose, but when it comes to details in storytelling or game mechanics it becomes monotonous rather quickly.
-
Jun 5, 2014As if the first Mugen Souls wasn't niche enough, Mugen Souls Z ventures even further down into the cavernous, kaleidoscopic portal of moe lure and outlandish fetishes, rarely coming up for air.
-
Jun 2, 2014There are plenty of half-naked anime girls to be found for free on the Internet.
-
May 22, 2014Mugen Souls Z is, on the surface, a shallow but agreeable JRPG that hides a deeper, heavier set of systems for genre fans that care to search for them.
-
May 21, 2014Fans will no doubt appreciate the new gameplay features but, as a whole, Mugen Souls Z feels too exclusive a game, even for a sequel. Its niche narrative focus and penchant for superficiality make it a hard sell for newcomers.
