This is review coming from an avid enjoyer of the first Mage & Monsters game. Mage & Monsters 2 really added a lot more depth and quality of life to the auto battler system that already made the first game very enjoyable. • Heroes. Not only is there a much bigger roster of heroes, most of them actually fight in the battlefield now and have their own abilities/health rather than simply being more of a "perk" like the first game. They are practically your very own "boss" on your side and you can upgrade them indefinetely and make them really OP if you wish. That brings me to my next point. • Upgrades. The upgrade system is MUCH better compared to the first game. Not only can you upgrade army stats like the first game, you can now upgrade your Hero as stated before, as well as your spells INDEFINITELY. The first game had limitations on spell upgrades and the army upgrades went up in price dramatically, but now those army stat upgrades can be purchased as many times as you want at the regular price. This new upgrade system allows you freedom to many different playstyles. You can spend all your upgrades on making a really OP Hero, an insanely strong army, or incredibily OP spells, or any kind of mixture in between! • Army Upgrades. What I mentioned above were specifically the stat upgrades, but now each specific unit in the game has unique optional upgrades that give that unit a specific perk such as more evasion, critical chance, stun chance, etc. It adds another level of customization and playstyle. • Unit Bonuses. The game now rewards you by having a diverse army with additional "perks" if you have many different "types" of units - Demons, Humans, Elves, and Beasts. You unlock all the bonuses if you buy one of each type of army unit. Many of these bonuses are very powerful like evasion chance for elves and spawning a skeleton upon death for demons. These bonuses can also be shared by different types of units if you buy and upgrade to "Share" those bonuses. I've unlocked all the achievements in both games and Mage & Monsters 2 was much easier to unlock all the achievements. Thankfully the dev didn't require you to beat the game with each Hero at the hardest difficulty unlike the first game. I still did it with most heroes because I like the challenge, but the first game was FAR more brutal because you are way more limited in your strategy compared to this game as I've mentioned above. It's way easier to cheese especially with a lot of heroes. There is definitely some balancing that needs to be done however, some heroes are clearly much stronger than others. I do like that Effero from the first game is also one of the strongest heroes here like he was in Mage & Monsters 1. The last thing I will point out is that the Hero portraits for the new heroes are terrible... the first game had pretty good pixel art. This game kept the same cool portraits for the returning heroes, but all the new hero portraits look so bad and were clearly done by a different artist. Thankfully the in game sprites look pretty good as well as the army and enemy unit sprites. Anywy I've really enjoyed this game, and despite it being easier compared to the first game to unlock all the achievements it still provides a really good challenge which I love. Highly recommended.
I would give this neutral if I could. I'm not very familiar with "auto battlers", this has been more entertaining than I thought it would be, however the only real variation is in the hero mechanics. I do not like that the only way to progress is via achievements and that progress is solely about unlocking more heroes. There should be skill trees and baseline upgrades to make runs easier. It's very frustrating to play long runs only to die in one of the 'end game' levels and get absolutely nothing for progress - this is not how roguelike/lite games are supposed to work.
This Developer cares. Noticed an issue with a Spell in the game. So I made a post in the Discussions about it. Within 5 hours, the Developer responded to me AND put a patch out (1.16b) to specifically fix the issue. You really cannot beat that kind of commitment to your game and to quality. This is my first Steam review ever, simply for the fact that I feel it was needed.
I really enjoyed the first game so I thought I'd like this one and I did. If you like auto-battlers then you probably will like this one. The heroes are very diverse so each requires different tactics and you'll have a favorite and one that you despise but all are very well thought out and very well balanced. It's not expensive, especially when on sale, so give it a try and help support a dev who seems very active and responsive on the forums. I put 32 hours in it so far so that's a ton of play for a few dollars. I look forward to a 3rd version one day.
