User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
After completing the game 100% with all Achievements I have decided to write a detailed review without spoilers. A few notes first: 1. I have completed this game three times now, before on Xbox twice and now Steam. 2. I played through the Steam version of this game on my Steamdeck. 3. I have not played the first game yet, despite owning it. Intro: Costume Quest 2 is a Halloween RPG game that isn't trying to be anything crazy, just a simple short game; In fact you could very easily complete the entirety of the game in a single day with all of the achievements. Combat: The combat seems to take inspiration from Super Mario RPG in my opinion at least, however it can get very dull and repetitive early on. You'll need to time the button presses of your attacks to deal more damage as well as timing blocks (Blocks are fairly easy to pull of) You'll also have access to cards that you collect that have various effects such as healing, dealing damage, increasing XP or Candy (This game's money) They're nothing too special in my honest opinion, you can easily complete the game without using a single card. You'll also need to collect Costumes that not only change your attack and special attack in battle but also effect the environment outside of battle, kinda like a Metroidvania in a sense where you unlock a power and you can travel somewhere new, even in previously explored areas. And lastly, there are "Elements/Types/Affinities" that each enemy will have, as well as your own Costumes Those would be: Monster, Magic, and Tech None of them beat each other, instead every enemy and Costume will have a weakness to one of those three whilst also having a resistance/advantage attacking against one of those three; If you attack an enemy you have a weakness to, you'll obviously deal less damage too. Bonus Note: Oh, and also there's an Achievement for finishing the game while keeping someone with the Candy Corn costume in your team the entire game, as in you have to bring the Candy Corn costume to every battle (You start the game with it) It's a funny costume but it gets old quick. Steamdeck Section: Unfortunately despite being "Verified" on Steamdeck the game doesn't come without it's issues 1. The triggers do not work at all, you may notice pressing the right analog stick acts as the Left Trigger. I have a simple workaround for you; Go into Steam input and change your Left Trigger to Down on the Directional/Cross pad, And change your Right Trigger to Up on the Directional/Cross pad, Then go into Costume Quest 2's keybind menu and set the Sprint to Down on the Directional/Cross pad And Change Costume to Up on the Directional/Cross pad Sprint should automatically be LT, and Change Costume should automatically be RT That's the first issue solved. 2. You may notice when trying to buy from Shady (The shopkeeper goblin dude) that the game spams the A button which will buy whatever is selected. My workaround is usually to spam A myself because it can cancel out the A spam and you'll see the screen that asks if you'd like to confirm your purchase, hit B and then you're good to browse. Another workaround could be going into Steam Input and changing your A button to Spacebar; I haven't tested it myself, but it might just fix that issue for you. 3.Cloud Saves do not work for Steamdeck because your Steamdeck saves data in: steamapps>common>CostumeQuest2>(Your Steam ID as a folder) Whereas a Windows PC stores the data in: appdata>roaming>Doublefine>CostumeQuest2 and/or appdata>roaming>Doublefine>CostumeQuest2>(Your Steam ID as a folder) Pros and Cons Pros: • Short game if you just want to waste time for a little on Halloween or for Content Creation • Contains nothing you wouldn't want a child to see • Is incredibly simple to get the hang of the controls • RPG system is straightforward, nothing confusing • Don't need to play the first game to enjoy this • Might be fun to speedrun if a 2x or 3x battle mod existed • Can obtain all achievements in one sitting if you plan accordingly • Very easy to run the game on low end devices Cons: • Short game not suited for those looking for something bigger • The entirety of the game is easy, not for players that want a challenge • The game could be considered by some to be entirely made up of Fetch Quests • The story is mundane (Unless you're a child, if so then it's good enough) • Combat will get boring quick for a good amount of people, and there is no speedup • The card system feels added on, like an afterthought • The hidden secret costume won't be straightforward to obtain, you'll most likely need a guide • Steamdeck issues listed above • Preorder/early bonus Costumes aren't included if you purchase the game now, unless you modify your game Graphics: 4/10 (Depends if you like the Art-style though) Gameplay: 5/10 Audio: 3/10 (Not enough music, battle music gets repetitive) Audience: Children PC Requirements: 2/10 (Easy to run) Difficulty: 3/10 (More difficult with Candy Corn Costume) Grind: To complete the game, 4/10. To 100%, 6/10 Story: For children I'd say 5/10. for everyone else I'd say 2/10 Game length: Can 100% in 5 hours of play if you plan ahead Price: Wait for a sale, it literally goes 90% off all the time Bugs: PC, none I've seen. Steamdeck, not great. Why do I still recommend? I would leave a mixed review if possible, however I'd say I lean more towards the Positive side, though that does not make me blind to the fact that this game is definitely not for everyone; Which is why I've been as honest as possible in my review I've enjoyed the game enough to complete it three times over the past ten years.

The changes from the first game make the combat much more strategic, and figuring out what to do is a bit tougher, but the charm remains!

Combat in this game gets super repetitive and boring and it honestly takes forever especially since they removed the battle stamps (from the first game) and replaced them with creepy treat cards that take a turn every time you use them. Which sucks because it makes it almost not worth it to use the cards in battle, but if you don't, the fights take too long and if you do use the cards the fights still take too long LMFAO The game is still fun though, I just wish they kept the combat from the first game T-T i miss the battle stamps

It's not as good as the first one but it's still a solid short turn based rpg to play during the spooky season.

I remember playing the demo for the first game before it released back on Xbox 360. While i was browsing to look for a new game to play the memory crawled back and I had to buy it, saw the sequel and did not regret my purchase for one second of my 13.3 hours played!
