Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts - Win7 (64), unfortunately only average !!!

With the Evil Heroes I had already had a lot of fun, so I would like it not to be taking me to try even the royal donut times. The purchase decision was made quickly after the completion of the first part and refreshing "anticipation" is well known, the greatest joy. It was, unfortunately, at the 2nd part of that.

To save your time, that resume:
A BUY recommendation for all who liked the first part, although I can say, however, also only partly. Ansich it is not a bad game, but the atmosphere, the jokes and allusions almost fail me or ignite here just do not like the first part genius. It appears as if a successor has been a rapid required only for staying on the wave of euphoria of the first part a bit and earn some euros to. Unfortunately witness some bugs of premature disclosure.

Standing on Hack'n'Slay For all other and Item Drops in masses need I rate this game definitely off.

The Story of Dungeons and Donuts is concerned, as in the first part, the almost usual "good vs. evil". Somehow the protagonist is slipped back with his hero amnesia and looking for answers to his memories and regain way still to save the world from the evil of Grotesque. Unfortunately, I found the presentation of the whole no longer approach so exciting and captivating as still in Part One.

This may be because you get more or less set before his group companions and with them no longer feel really get the last available "loopy" residue which can somehow still carry and use a sword or something else. Certainly some well-known characters are back at the start, however, by the "adult" appearance also an entire part of the charm away each. Only "Sweet Violence" was able to convince me, for most of the other I would have liked to return to Anime / Manga look.

Also the presented environment, dungeons and outdoor level I found rather dull, according to the motto "everything is already seen, nothing new". Only at the end of the game was something positive change.
The NPC's were "standard" NPC's, no hobbling guards more, no COS players ... everything somehow standard. Especially the "refuge" reminded me often to map sections of "Siege of Avalon". Boss and boss are again present, but the originality lacked, something like the "Pummelfee" no longer existed, unfortunately ... Too bad! Everything seemed so obsessively on "adult" and "absolutely seriously," trimmed.

Certainly there were also one or the other positive, camera work has still often annoyed, but not as much as in part one. The obsessions of the characters have been deleted, that I liked. The Quest degenerated at times into "Hole and bring" quest, which often means time-consuming Gelaufe.

What remains is an entertaining game, which certainly does not involve lasting memories.
Often, unfortunately, to put only RPG monotony without accents.

Characters and story are still the focus, but are no longer so overwhelming as in the predecessor. Some bugs were annoying, so I could at multiple receiving any "Gobbo" - drinking more use what was in any case very little existing items already disappointing.

Technology:
Graphics well, I felt (apart from the final level) not very pretty or even much better than in the predecessor. It is appropriate and sufficient, and remains out of date for 2011 conditions. The sound is okay, the voice output unfortunately I no longer felt so awesome as he were in !!!

The game ran on Win7 (64) with the version 1.6.8.0. However, even after the second installation and manual patch download. The DVD installation no longer oriented radio after a few changes in the in-game graphics options easily and could no longer be started. In the 2nd installation then the "Offline" patch was installed. This then ultimately it worked. The bugs in the game further annoyed anyway.

12.5 / 25 Result Pts, 3 stars unfortunately only mediocre:
a) act --- 3/5
b) graphic ----- 2.5 / 5
c) Sound ------ 3/5
d) AI --------- 2/5
e) the extent ----- 2.5 / 5

Pro:
- Some of the characters
- Now and then Story Highlights
- Sound

Contraindications:
- Worse than its predecessor
- Bugs
- Often boring quests
- No replay value despite different ends

Nevertheless, I have not given up hope of improvement and will
"Holy Avatar vs. Maidens of the Dead" play and tell you.

Thank you for reading this review!
