Feb. 2026

Honestly, I hesitated to try this game solely because of the reviews, but it is a ton of fun IF you like the structure of the game (different than Hammerwatch I). If you enjoyed the original for it's combat and dungeon crawling, it has that, but it's much more like Diablo I & II in it's progression and challenge level. It has towns and vendors, loot with affixs and rarity, character customization (your Class & appearance) and progression with Levels, Attribute Points, and Skill Points, with choices in what Spells/Abilities you spec into. You do have to engage your brain and think about where to go and what to do (aided by a decent enough Quest Journal) and the mini-map fog of war is removed as you explore in "Persistent Mode" to help you know where you have and haven't been. So if you want a game to just mindlessly crush enemies down a mostly linear path like in Diablo III & IV, this is not the right choice. Multiplayer works great (so far at least) when my brother hosts the game but, when I'm hosting, he started dropping out during map transitions (in/out of dungeons) and we're not sure why. Tried many "fixes" and to no avail, so be cognizant of that. This game is what I hoped Hammerwatch I was going to be (though I still enjoyed the original), so I was super happy that I got it and I'm excited to play more! Hopefully this helps others decide for themselves if it's the right fit, and to not be afraid of the reviews.

I dunno, Crackshell could sell me the same assets 100x and I would keep buying it (although I bought this one at a steep 80% discount!) Same enemies, same gameplay, same dungeons, with an annoying 'open world' backtracking galore map design! Also, one of the least creative fishing minigames' imaginable! GREAT JOB GUYS!!! Another annoyance is quests begin to have an unseen timer, and you will auto fail as "someone else" will complete it before you... GREAT JOB GUYS

Played this with my wife. Not the best RPG you'll ever play, but it does feel like a more classic top down rpg and it feels like a blast from the past. It is fun enough for its price. I notice some people here complaining that the game is abandoned, but I don't see the issue since the game is finished and there is no reason to keep working on it.

July 2025

Yes I voted positive for this one because I enjoyed the game fully. Yet I can say that it is quite a slightly above the average due to the current state. And there is a reason behind about what actually happened with all due to the business problems there the main developpers and their publishers. You see, maybe some of you saw this from other games, but Hammerwatch 2 is a no exception with this problem around. Whenever you lose your publisher, the developper company can not working any further on the game because they have the liscence for that specific game too. That said, Crackshell can't continue to update it. It was intentional that we should have more contents and update to fix bugs/crashes for this game. Unfortunately, we will not been able to see the day of it. Unless if the publisher would give back the liscence of this game, MAYBE it can be saved. But so far for now, we have what we have.

April 2025

To me this is the logical evolution of the first Hammerwatch game. This is what I was expecting Heroes of Hammerwatch to be. The game has its problems, for example navigating the UI with the controller is far from great but I really am having a blast. I have seen some complaints about the lack of markers in the map. You are expected to read but the flavor text is mainly optional. All quests give you a summary of where to go and what do to under the long text of the NPC, so if you just read that you will know what to do. Use the map and the mini-map when needed and try to remember who sells/buys what and where. I have also seen many complaints about the multiplayer experience but I play alone so I can't say anything about it. It's a pity this game didn't sell better, with a couple of small improvements it could have been an amazing game. But still, what is there right now is a fun game with some jank. I think it deserves a chance, specially if you liked the first game. I'm playing on linux with an XBox One controller without problems, although having a mouse around is a good idea.
