Less inviting to experimentation.

Graphics and animations are much improved from the original
Love the new stagecoach mechanic
This game doesn?t hold your hand and is difficult


Splendid visuals
A very good soundtrack
A big challenge
A heavy and unintuitive interface that may discourage more than one person.


Various and deep systems for combat and exploration
Plenty of replayability
Menus could be a bit easier to navigate on console


Rich and complex systems
Visually very successful
A good soundtrack
A lot of content

Lower console versions due to the interface
Necessarily a bit repetitive


...But also rewarding!
Highly strategic combat system...
Often, it tends to repeat itself.


Perfectly in line with the atmospheres and mechanics.
Original and effective game dynamics
The story of the characters is interesting.
A few more events would not have been too much.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Many challenges to overcome.
The dark atmosphere of the decadent world oozes from every pixel.
Individual adventures are so long that they seem diluted.
Excessively complicated menu mechanics.


Soundtrack and narrator are very good.
For management and combo enthusiasts.
Stories of the characters
Immense content
The runs are really too long
Too many menus to constantly check so as not to miss anything
Unlocking character stories is annoying to do
Long and unnecessary caravan movements
Difficulty in the first few hours


Successful on both thematic and atmospheric levels, notably thanks to the iconic storytelling.
Exciting and breathless turn-based combat.
Profiled structure
Bug that breaks the game.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Exciting fights always
A deeper story
Good replayability
Good optimization
Difficult for beginners
Some framerate drops
A cumbersome handling on the Switch


Narrator elevates everything on screen
Compelling, relentlessly bleak world
Some charm lost in the move to 3D graphics


Turn-based combat still feels fun
Minor improvements to the Rogue-lite loop are noticable
Lack of investment in the characters
Dense mechanics leave you feeling like you're solving puzzles more than enjoying a great Rogue-lite


You willingly perfect your playing styles under stress.
For you, gameplay is more important than the story.
... that you are not resistant to frustration and need breaks.
Stylistically very neat
Many events to face.
Individual matches last too long, with an experience that seems very diluted.

No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.
The Lovecraftian universe made even more beautiful with the transition to 3D.
Great replayability
adding relationships and a small story for the characters
The diligence part a bit outdated
Difficulty can be discouraging
