Death end re;Quest 2 is a surprisingly gritty JRPG that blends visual novel storytelling with turn-based combat, and it doesn’t shy away from heavy themes. The game throws you into an unsettling setting early and leans hard into horror tension, which makes it feel different from a lot of more traditional anime-styled RPGs. If you like story-driven games that aren’t afraid to get dark, this one commits to the mood. The narrative is the main hook. It’s structured like a visual novel with lots of dialogue and character moments, and the pacing alternates between slow-burn mystery and sudden bursts of danger. The cast is easy to get invested in, and the game does a good job of making you want answers, even when the plot turns weird in a very “Compile Heart” way. Combat is turn-based with positioning and knockback mechanics that can turn a normal fight into a satisfying chain of hits. When you understand how to set up combos, battles become faster and more tactical than they first appear. It’s not the deepest system in the genre, but it’s engaging enough that regular encounters don’t feel like pure filler. Exploration adds a different flavor compared to the first Death end re;Quest. Moving around the town and its eerie locations at night gives the game a more survival-horror vibe, and it helps the setting feel grounded instead of purely “game world” fantasy. That said, some areas can feel a bit repetitive, and the navigation can be more functional than exciting. Visually, it’s a mix of strong character art and mood-driven environments with some rough technical edges. The character designs are expressive and fit the tone, but animations and certain assets can look a little stiff. Still, the overall presentation works because the game’s atmosphere carries a lot of weight. Audio does a lot of heavy lifting. The soundtrack supports both the creepy tension and the emotional story beats, and the voice acting helps sell the characters’ fear and vulnerability. Even when scenes get melodramatic, the sound design usually keeps it immersive. Overall, Death end re;Quest 2 is best for players who want a dark, story-forward JRPG with a horror twist and a combat system that rewards learning its tricks. It’s not polished in every area, but it’s memorable, unsettling, and hard to put down once the mystery takes hold. If you’re okay with lots of reading and mature themes, it’s an easy recommendation for the right audience.

This game is how you do horror JRPG well.

July 2025

While I do understand that this game is seen as a rather bad sequel to the first title, looking past the repetitive gameplay loop, the story has a really interesting premise. The right presentation of a good plot has always been a problem for a lot of JRPGs so that isn't something I wanna judge here. To set the right tone, I have to admit, that this game felt more like a Visual Novel with relatively poor gameplay aspects in it and is even bold enough to skip a few necessities every good JRPG needs. The scenes can be quite grotesque at times, which is a little bit different from the first title but a welcoming change for people who enjoy bloody mysteries. The cast of characters isn't bad but there aren't enough options to get creative, which is probably due to the game's theme in general, so this one can be forgiven - but it certainly eliminates a huge aspect about JRPGs in general because there is no reason to ever improve on your tactics or gameplay. The gearing system isn't particularly exciting and the success in combat comes down to very little knowledge about the game's mechanics and the level/gear of the playable characters. Unfortunately the story is only slightly connecting to the prequel, which is a shame, because it has a lot of potential. All in all I could enjoy this title a lot due to its theme, but it's nothing too fancy talking about the presentation and gameplay. If you're not too invested in the story and really enjoy reading, then this is probably not a game for you. Shoutout to the prequel and first entry to the series because in my opinion a lot of badly handled aspects of this game were done quite well there.

Played the first game on Switch, decided to try this one on PC. This game is completely different from the first one, but in my opinion, is still special. There's a lot of complaints about Rottie, but I kind of love her, tbh. She's a highly competent lesbian with a gun, what's not to love? The story is a bit wackier than the first game, yet a bit more cohesive this time. I recall being confused at points playing the first game, I feel like the story points connected a bit better in this one. Although, I am unsure if the plot would make sense if the first game isn't played, as there is a character related to another from the first game. I have no idea what playing this game is like if you didn't play the first game--maybe a bit confusing towards the end of the game. The artwork and menus are GORGEOUS. Drop dead gorgeous. The main character's glitch form isn't as scandalous in this one, which I appreciate, because damn...this MC has it rough. Story-wise, the plot is darker, but the death ends seem less brutal than the first game, imo.
