    Despite the beautiful graphics, Labyrinth of Galleria sports extremely lengthy dialogue and overcomplicated mechanics for an otherwise simple dungeon crawling RPG. Not really what I had in mind when I picked this up for a dungeon crawling experience--definitely a hit or miss depending on the player. Personally, I'd suggest playing a typical JRPG with dungeon crawling aspects instead.

    Una gran continuación de la anterior entrega, manteniendo sus temas oscuros y perturbadores (no os dejéis engañar por las apariencias) y sus giros de guion. El sistema de batalla es una mejora del original, y explorar el laberinto bajo la mansión es muy gratificante.

    PEROOOO, cuidado que ciertas decisiones en el desarrollo cambian la mecánica de juego, lo cual puede ser un acierto para algunos, y un gran fallo para otros (entre los que me incluyo). No quiero spoilear, pero este juego no acaba cuándo vemos los créditos, si no que si cargamos la partida y continuamos... digamos que se marca un Nier Automata... y en ese punto aun nos quedan mas de 80 horas de juego por delante. A partir de ahí aparecerán mecánicas tipo roguelike... y particularmente esto me parece un error, y que solo sirve para alargar artificialmente la dificultad del juego (eso sí, ese es el punto donde empieza realmente lo bueno a nivel de historia).
    La historia es sin duda el punto fuerte, aunque cueste entender un carajo de lo que esta pasando en realidad hasta casi el final del juego, donde, algunas cosas se veían venir, pero otras para nada y sorprenden por el mucho sentido que tienen. Los personajes de Refrain me parecen aun así mejores.
    Muy recomendable, y puede ser un juego de 10 para muchos, pero cuidado con ese giro de gameplay que hace el juego diferente. Y tened en cuenta que este es un juego de más de 120 horas (las 40-60 horas que veis por ahí es lo que cuesta llegar a los créditos por primera vez... lo que viene siendo el tutorial del juego...)    … Expand

    The one and only problem with Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society is that it is a sequel. Where its predecessor was so memorable because of the way it played with genre and convention, Galleria has the unfortunate distinction of being more of the same, and therefore no longer a surprising delight. It still tells a wildly entertaining story, has a tight and creatively different approach to dungeon crawling, and is a great way to spend 40-50 hours of your time. It’s just not as exciting because it’s no longer different.

    When the greatest flaw of a game is the amount of dedication it requires from the player, you know you are diving into something special. Not every player is going to enjoy the uninviting limitations of the genre, but those that do manage to stay around are in for a treat. One of the most charming anime-styled games of this type and has a story worth seeing through.

    Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society does a fantastic job of providing a dense and devastating journey into the depths of dungeons, though it sometimes does so at the cost of accessibility. An attractive art style, expansive team-building options, and genuinely surprising story all combine to make this one worth a recommendation, but with the big caveat that a lot of its appeal is lost if you don’t enjoy min-maxing in RPGs or don’t have the patience to fully digest and comprehend all its systems. If that does sound like it's up your street, though, Labyrinth of Galleria is absolutely worth your time and money.
