Dusk Diver 2 is Idea Factory\u2019s latest action RPG beat \u2019em up with lots of style and appeal. While the game features crisp visuals, and a very intriguing fantastical premise, it\u2019s unfortunately bogged down by lots of unpolished features. Set in the district of Ximending, the game follows Yang Yumo, a student and part time worker who is also a \u201cGuardian of Kunlun\u201d who helps out humanity by defending the world from interdimensional threats.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Seamless Sequel<\/h3>\n

While the first few minutes of the story attempt to introduce both newcomers to the characters and events of the previous game, it, unfortunately, doesn\u2019t do a good job of doing so as it quickly rushes through the summary to get to the meat and potatoes of this sequel, forcing newcomers to feel isolated while waiting to get far enough in the story to get the gist of everything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And while the overall premise and narrative are solid, it takes a while before the story gets even close to being interesting.And when you eventually reach that point, you still won\u2019t notice plot points or narrative beats that\u2019ll separate the game from other games of a similar archetype. The characters are also quite bland as they don\u2019t really have much personality and only comment very badly on things in front of them, which is surprising for a cast mostly filled with anime girls.<\/span><\/p>\n
