Death end re;Quest 2 on Steam is a hybrid Japanese role-playing game (JRPG) and visual novel developed by Compile Heart and published by Idea Factory International. Here’s a detailed description of the game:
Overview
Genre: JRPG, Visual Novel, Horror
Developer: Compile Heart
Publisher: Idea Factory International
Release Date: August 18, 2020
Gameplay and Features
Dual Gameplay Style:
Daytime: The game features visual novel segments where players navigate through the story by interacting with characters in the town of Le Choara. During these segments, players gather clues and information to progress the narrative.
Nighttime: Transforms into a traditional turn-based JRPG where players explore dungeons, fight monsters, and solve puzzles. The gameplay shifts from narrative-driven to combat-focused.
Story:
The story follows Mai Toyama, a young girl who arrives at Wordsworth, an all-girls dormitory in the secluded town of Le Choara, in search of her missing sister, Sanae. As Mai investigates, she uncovers dark secrets about the town and its inhabitants. The narrative is enriched by the writing of Makoto Kedouin, known for his work on the “Corpse Party” series, lending a horror aspect to the game.
Combat System:
Knockback System: A returning mechanic where players can knock enemies into each other, leading to combo attacks and strategic combat. This system has been refined for more dynamic encounters.
Overkill Rewards: Players can deal damage beyond an enemy’s health for bonus experience, incentivizing powerful attacks.
Game Environment:
Le Choara: The town is a pivotal setting, appearing tranquil by day but revealing a nightmarish landscape filled with “Shadow Matter” creatures after dark. The environment plays a significant role in the gameplay, with different dynamics between day and night.
Unique Mechanics:
Berserker: A menacing figure that appears in dungeons, forcing players to either fight or flee due to its instant-kill area attacks.
Bad Endings: The game features multiple “bad endings” which can be quite graphic, adding to the horror elements and providing a different narrative path based on player choices or failures.
Visuals and Sound:
Character designs are anime-inspired, with adjustments made to meet “global standards” in terms of attire, especially for characters returning from the first game.
The soundtrack complements the dual nature of the game, with lighter tones during the day and more ominous music at night.
Reception
Reviews on Steam show mixed sentiments. The game has been praised for its narrative depth, character development, and the engaging switch between visual novel and RPG gameplay. However, some critiques focus on the repetitive nature of dungeons, less groundbreaking gameplay compared to its predecessor, and some technical issues at launch.
Community and Mods
The game has an active community on platforms like Steam, with discussions around strategies, lore, and fan theories. While mods are less common for JRPGs, some players share custom resources or minor tweaks to enhance gameplay or visuals.
This game blends traditional JRPG elements with unique visual novel storytelling, making it a niche but intriguing addition to the Steam library, especially for fans of horror-themed RPGs and visual novels.
