Ziggurat 2

супер игра

Great roguelike

Simple, Enough of a challenge to stay interested. No glitches, Fast paced and you can play short bursts. You do have to rank up each quest, which is a bit annoying, but not a deal breaker.

Тот же геймплей, как и в первой части: ходим по данжу, ищем ключ, качаемся, лупим босса. Но оружие стало немного разнообразнее, дизайн противников изменился сильно к лучшему, теперь они вполне отличимы друг от друга. Прокачка тоже стала немножко интереснее, в игре качается буквально все. Один большой забег разбили на множество маленьких. В общем, хороший эволюционный шаг вперед относительно первой части. Играется гораздо приятнее!

nach jedem Tod fängt man wieder bei null, da keine echte Speicherfunktion. Weltkarte verändert sich nach jeder Mission, Fortschritte schwer erkennbar.

Ziggurat 2 is very much in the same spirit as the first game but it builds on it in pretty much every way. It keeps the classic modes from the original like 5 floor style runs and challenge modes like endless run but it also adds a proper story mode which is the highlight of the game. Starting with the story mode it actually feels like a real one this time. The first game technically had a story but here it is better presented. You now progress through a table style mission map where you choose what kind of run you want to do how long it will be and what rewards you want to unlock at the end. This makes progression feel more meaningful and gives you more control over how you play. As expected the game builds on itself so there are even more upgrades than before which is both good and bad. The variety is great but it still suffers from the same issue as the first game where the larger the upgrade pool gets the harder it is to get the exact upgrades you want for a specific build/run. Combat is mostly the same as the first game but with some extra additions. You now have a proper loadout system where you choose not only your character but also your starting weapon and a trinket. Weapons have a mastery system so the more you use them the more they level up and unlock new effects over time and the same idea applies to characters as well. Each character now has their own special ability and the overall gameplay feels more fluid thanks to dash like ability. Overall Ziggurat 2 feels like a more polished and refined version of the first game. It keeps what worked and adds enough new systems to make it feel like a proper sequel.
