It won't be controversial once people play it. The visuals are absolutely fantastic.

I really enjoyed the grind in the first game.
Does this one tap into that same sort of incremental upgrade system that makes you feel more powerful inch by inch?
Same! Here's to hoping the second game is just as fun. I'm bummed that it's not gonna be on PS4/PS5.
It does! It's absolutely massive as well. There's still items locked out until 1.0 even.
Played the Early Access at launch for one session and dropped it. Didn't wanna burn out on the game before release. With only 2 hours into the game at launch the game didn't ignite the same spark in me that the original did but I'm very excited to see if the full release changes my thoughts.
I'd be really curious to see impressions from someone who didn't like or understand the first game at all.
Will the price get higher with the full release? Should i get it right now or will it stay the same?
Cannot find it on the Xbox app or the MS Store. I was hoping to I could visit New Zealand and get an early start.
The upgrade system is pretty much identical, down to your castle growing extra rooms / wings, except obviously there's more stuff (more classes, for one). Your mansion actually shows up in the background of the "hub" area (where the blacksmith, runemaster, etc. are), which is a neat touch. :)
They didn't unnecessarily mess up with the formula; they kept the same core and built on top of it. For example, there's now permanent unlockable abilities found in the dungeon, which make it a bit more of a Metroidvania (as far as I can remember that wasn't a thing in 1), and each class now has its own weapon instead of everyone using the sword. Other than that it's all comfortably familiar, right down to the snappy physics.
These may be hard to come across, especially in this thread, but I'd say it's a rather safe bet that most people will love or hate 2 as much as they did 1. If anyone were to like 2 more, it would almost certainly be down to roguelites becoming more mainstream (thus more people "get" what they're about), or perhaps the improved visuals.
Fuck! Bought it today and thanks to this thread now I know about the discount. Thank dog that steam offers refunds.
i am REALLY surprised at how under the radar this game is flying. its held my attention since the beginning of it's early access release, which is more than i can say of most games released in the past two years
Really pumped for this! Played like 10 hours in EA then stopped becuase I didn't want to experience it all before full release.
First game was great, I had no idea there was even a second one until I saw this thread today. Let alone it comes out TOMORROW!!!! I don't think they're advertising this well at all. I'll wait and see if its a gamepass title, if not I'll get it on Steam.
I'm chomping at the bit so hard for the minute it releases on XSX (do we know what time , btw?) that I'd settle for poring over an OT with good info and like-minded hypesters all just saying they can't wait either.
What discount? Did they state there will be one when it launches tomorrow?
The release date is here and no gamepass, so safe to assume it isn't on there.
"Game goes live at 10am PDT/ 1pm EDT on April 28, 2022"

really? I always thought it was coming to gamepass since it was announced huh. I guess because it was on those id@xbox things at various E3s and I just assumed :(
It was one of those cases where everyone WANTED it to get announced, but officially it didn't until the day of its release.
Only regions it has "launched" in can see it in the store unfortunately.
Is this like Returnal when you down a boss? Are they permanently gone or is it classic roguelite and you have to repeatedly down bosses?
