Mary Skelter 2

With Mary Skelter 2, Compile Heart has shown that they can deliver a phenomenal DRPG. Every aspect of this entry has been refined to a near-flawless level. The labyrinths are fun to explore, and their gimmicks, while plentiful, never reach the point of overbearing. Instead, they lend the adventure a unique identity, one that's rarely seen in dungeon crawlers. As far as battle-systems go, the developer has done a lot to keep this from being one-dimensional. You can attempt a full-on attack, but the mental state of your allies might suffer, leaving you at risk for the devastating Blood Skelter. Plus it's impossible to say no to an enhanced edition of the first game. All in all, this is a must-have for any fan of the genre.

Mary Skelter 2 is a wonderful, first-person dungeon-romping adventure RPG.

Mary Skelter 2 is a well designed dungeon crawling RPG that brings a healthy mix of varied mechanics and tactical combat, as well as the original game thrown in with no additional cost. Fans of this variety of RPGs will find a very enjoyable title with a captivating plot and a demanding learning curve, resulting in a game that fits like a charm in the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

Mary Skelter 2 is a very solid dungeon crawler that will appeal to all fans of the genre, especially for its quirky story and dark tones. Not suitable for all newcomers, though: it's long, difficult and sometimes even obscure in some of its puzzles.

Ultimately, Mary Skelter 2 is more of the same, with an interesting story twist. This isn’t a bad thing for fans of the original, or those who haven’t experienced either game, but may unintentionally scare away those who had technical issues with the first Mary Skelter outing on Vita. Mary Skelter 2 invites those who haven’t yet dived into the series to partake of both the first and second title in one handy package. For those seeking a solid dungeon-crawler on the Nintendo Switch, Mary Skelter 2 gets a hearty recommendation.

Mary Skelter 2 is a welcome return to the horrible living Jail and anyone who is intrigued that missed the original Vita release is taken care of with the added bonus of the original game as a free download. The gameplay isn’t exactly groundbreaking but there’s enough going on to keep the formula feeling fresh with the environmental puzzles and hazards along with the customization of blood maidens. Compile Heart/Idea Factory titles have their own weird charm about them and those familiar with their other titles will find that same comfort with this one. Overall Mary Skelter 2 is a fun dungeon crawler that finds a healthy balance between levity and disturbing.

Mary Skelter 2 is a fun game at its core, but it surrounds that with a lot of elements that detract from the experience and make it almost unplayable in public, at home, or anywhere you think your screen could be seen. Fanservice isn't an inherently bad thing, but the characters are all way too young to be used in this way, and it's just not great. The customisation is good, and the combat gets great the further you press on, but it's hard to ignore the random instances of undressed girls sprinkled throughout the game.

Bundled with the first game, this version is so amazing, no censorship, great dungeon crawling and unique concept

Mary Skelter: Nightmares presenta dos juegos por el precio de uno, siendo comprensible al estar la historia de ambos entrelazada. Estamos ante un juego de compile heart y por tanto con fan service para saturar varios cerebros así que avisados estáis. Si pasáis por encima de esto, lo que tenemos es un RPG de tipo dungeon crawler que cumple sin pena ni gloria. Para ser un dungeon crawler el juego es bastante sencillo exceptuando algún pico de dificultad absurdo (eso no quiere decir que no vayas a ver la pantalla de game over unas cuantas veces por tus propios descuidos). Al principio solo tenemos disponible el Mary Skelter 2, y tras completar este juego desbloquearemos el Mary Skelter 1 con la posibilidad de ver el final verdadero gracias a una mazmorra extra que une a ambas entregas y concluye la historia. La historia es interesante hasta cierto punto, cumpliendo su cometido, pero quedando algunas incógnitas después de completar ambos juegos (que asumo tendrán respuestas en el reciente Mary Skelter: Finale). Aunque es un juego sencillo dentro del genero al que pertenece, hay muchas mejores opciones para introducirte en él (por tema de dificultad los remakes del etrian odyssey o el etrian odyssey 3, o el smt strange jorney si te atreves con una dificultad más elevada pero que merece la pena por ejemplo). Si te gusta el genero y no tienes nada nuevo a lo que jugar, mary skelter: nightmare con su doble pack puede mantenerte entretenido bastante tiempo. O si eres un fan de compile heart, tengo entendido que este es uno de sus mejores juegos (es su único juego que tengo, así que no puedo asegurarlo) No lo recomiendo para otros tipos de públicos

Extended dialogue sections are unbearable and enemy graphics are painful to look at. I don’t expect a graphical powerhouse in a game like this but that mid 90s look on the character models is horrible.
