    Though the game has nice visuals and is the continuation of a creative series, Two Realms failed to maintain the magic Drawn to Life had on DS. Unfortunately, my disinterest in the story kept me unmotivated to wait through cut scenes to get to the next levels. Levels could be fun, but they could also be terribly too easy or frustratingly hard. The best moments in the game are dispersed too far apart and they don’t feel worth the hassle to get to.

    Drawn To Life: Two Realms is likely to serve a niche, but unless you’re hankerin’ for more as a long time fan - or are really starved for some puzzle platforming - beautiful artwork and some occasional brilliance can only get you so far.

    Drawn To Life: Two Realms is a sequel that fails to replicate what made the Drawn To Life games so compelling: the actual drawing part. It's pretty (and pretty cheap), but the puzzle-platforming underwhelms and the story drags; if you're a hardcore fan of the franchise then we dare say you'll be able to extract a modicum of enjoyment here, but there's an equal chance that, as a series aficionado, the changes made to the basic gameplay will annoy you the most.

    Drawn to Life: Two Realms lacks creativity in the gameplay and is overall a pretty dull experience.

    Drawn To Life: Two Realms appears familiar, but when you start to play it, it just falls apart at the seams. Everything that made the originals fun, particularly the touchscreen controls, has been disregarded, leaving a huge disappointment behind.

    This game is a complete departure from the action-platforming of the DS originals, and not for the better.
    Combine all the minor glitches    This game is a complete departure from the action-platforming of the DS originals, and not for the better.
    Combine all the minor glitches together with the half-assed story (aggregious offense for a DtL game) with the fact that this is just a glorified mobile game, and you have the worst followup possible to what was, frankly, one of the most unique video game series out there. This is an extremely disappointing revival attempt, especially after having had to wait for it for so long.    … Full Review »

I consider the overall experience pretty decent especially if you take the low price into consideration. Just be aware that the switch version has a couple performance hiccups.… Full Review »
