Recently found I had left a finished game of mine unreviewed that I meant to review, and loh and behold I did the same thing with Heroine Anthem Zero 2. While I enjoyed the first experience as a delightful little surprise of a VN/Side Scrolling Action/Metroidvania light (capitalize that L while you're at), the 2nd absolutely blew me away. While still very much the same as the first, but triple in size, scale, game play improvements, and amount of content. I just today booted up the game to catch a event I recently learned about (more on those in a bit) I decided to boot up a save from the beginning, because holy moly, from the visuals to the OST at work, the opening to this game is jaw dropping. The art, Vanilla Ware levels of breath taking, and the music so beautifully haunting it captures you as much as the disturbing, yet atheral visuals your eyes are looking at. What a way to start the player off, especially off the back of the prequel title. Honestly this review would be way too long if I gushed over everything I loved about this game, and there are some critiques here and there, more so on the gameplay. While a big improvement over the last, due to the length of the game and the VERY low difficulty, combat can become rather teduis in the long run. The last thing I wanted to touch up on was the aftormentioned event I had missed. Boy howdy this game has an unreal level of fully fleshed out side events that are completley (and very easily missed) side events. While I respect the VERY early PS1 and earlier era JRPG approach to these side events/side quests, in how as long as you're chatting with all the npc's, you'll see most of them without a hitch. However, due to there not being a chapter select, and how very missable many of those quests are, I also have dock some points for that as well haha. If it wasn't for me diving through the discussion boards (only the ones that were in Chinese ( I assume Chinese based on what Google was telling me, deeply sorry if the language I'm assuming is incorrect) and found a super obscure, mid to late 2000's looking message board (again assuming it was Chinese) with a written guide for most/ all of the events and how to get them, I would have missed much more. If you'd like to find this post, it's in there haha. Wish ya luck. And I know for a fact there's still events I have missed from the different screens. posted in the community hub hahaha. Again huge respect for the ambition, but man it's difficult to find most of it all solo. Especially a shame because the art of this game is just so phenomenal. Very rarely to I feel yucky about not being all to see everything a game has to offer. To wrap this all up, if you're into Visual Novels, and VN's that gamify the experience, I think you'll really find something special here. Characters are great, lovable, fun, with surprising amount of depth to especially the protagonist. The world building is magical, and the story at whole is extremely intriguing. Love the blend of Nordic Mythology and symbolism mixed with some tradional modern Japanese/Anime tropes and story beats. I hope from the bottom of my heart the development for the 3rd game is at least happening, and if so everything is going smoothly. While very much a hidden gem in all meaning possible, it'd be real shame to not see the story of Shama and this world not conclude properly. Cheers to Windthunder Studio and what they've created here. Also I'm still holding out hope for a artbook release for Zero 2 here!

it is beautiful, atmospheric, the animation is not very polished but as a stand alone action adventure this is good, not super great but I am glad I bought it

The full 100 hour length of this game is peak cinema. I kindly await for the next entry in the series. But here's some nitpicks I have: English translation needs to be improved by A LOT. No voiced dialogue means you can't just force autoplay, it makes it very easy to miss lines. I recommend to at least add a dialogue history in the game, especially when this game is very dialogue-heavy. Also, the game might be too easy with how many tools and strong moves the characters have.

I recommend this one with some caveats. It is far far better than the previous game and there's enough backstory that you don't need to play that extremely rough prequel, which seems like an early beta demo by comparison. The English text needs a lot more proofreading, but it's not to the point that the ability to understand what is going on is hindered. This is an action RPG with metroidvania elements and will keep you occupied a good while. The cutscenes are many and can be lengthy, but the story moves along at a good pace. Speaking of the story, it feels like they were intending to lay groundwork for a sequel, which, as of the time this review is posted, does not exist yet as far as I know. It doesn't end on a cliffhanger like the previous game did, but there are definitely a lot of unanswered questions, like the end of Empire Strikes Back and the like.

An overall massive improvement from the first game, this one has solid gameplay, very fun story and LOTS and LOTS of beautiful artwork, the soundtrack is also great, if you liked the first game this is a must play. The character development is really neat and getting to learn about Shama's past was very interesting. Sub-characters and engravings feel so good to use, they quickly become the most powerful part of your toolkit and being able to use 5 engravings at once is really cool and also really broken (but it's fun so it doesn't matter). One thing I have to say is that the translation isn't perfect, it has lots of little issues and typos, sometimes the automatic text goes by unreasonably fast, making it impossible to read. Another issue that I had is that the nightmare difficulty is pretty much meaningless if you use the guardian owls, they're too plentiful and too powerful, I'd suggest not allowing their use (at least during boss fights, I think that being able to use them on stages is fine) on nightmare difficulty, I finished the game with 50 of them in my bag and I never bought one from a merchant, if I did I'd easily be able to have over 100 of them, another possible solution would be to severely limit the maximum amount the played can hold on nightmare difficulty, like 1 or 2 max would work well I think. I wish it had a CG collection or an artbook (I can imagine that an artbook would be a lot of work but I think a CG Gallery wouldn't be too hard and it'd be a great addition, all the artwork in this game is superb). As with the first game, this is a very dialogue-heavy game but this one has a pretty good gameplay/dialogue ratio, the pacing gets slower at certain chapters but it usually doesn't last too long before you get back to playing. It does end in a cliffhanger so until we get another game the story is not over yet and you might feel a little unsatisfied with the ending, I know I did. Even so this is very much worth playing, it's a very unique experience and it deserves more recognition!
