Review: Re;Lord 2 ~The Witch of Cologne and Black Cat

One of the most recent titles by Sekai Project is Re;Lord 2 ~The Witch of Cologne and Black Cat~ a Visual Novel +18 Developed by Escu: that it was recently launched in the West and today we bring your review as God intended.

Re;Lord 2 ~The Witch of Cologne and Black Cat~ It is one of those titles that manages to challenge the presumptions and offer a memorable narrative, entertaining character interactions, addictive combats and a tempting fan service cherry. Along the re; Lord 2 , the players are witnesses to the story of the protagonist Wilfried with the aim of ending the second witch of the ruin, Iris. The witches have invaded the demonic country of Saarland, turning demonic inhabitants into stuffed animals.

Since this is a direct sequel to the previous entry, knowledge of the events of the first game is fully expected. There is a vague reminiscence of what the last game happened, but its speed makes it difficult to catch up on real. In the last title, Wilfried defeated the first witch of the ruin, Erika Anders, and she joined her entourage. Its dynamic alone requires having experienced the first game to fully appreciate it.

There are various layers of global character relationships and traditions at the heart of the story, from various types of magic to politics between different regions. without being unnecessarily expository, Re: Lord 2 It’s not exactly a dense reading, but it’s certainly a few steps above what you would expect from the genre.

In addition, the translation is fantastic, improving the delivery of the applicants to lengths that this narrative reaches. The writing is attractive, with a delicate balance between humor and drama, so neither side is profuse. Still, this isn’t just a text-based adventure, as there is also a vanguard mouse-based action combat along with the world map tour.

The gameplay in Re: Lord 2 It is addictive, and consists mainly of 2 general phases, navigation on the world map and combat. On the world map, players must match map tiles with blocks similar to Tetris at your disposal to move forward. These blocks come in different sizes and shapes, and each one can rotate freely. In addition, the blocks are earned as battle prizes and treasure chests.

This process is simple, although tutorials can make it look more than it is. Speaking of tutorials, its implementation is a kind of disaster. Its delivery is poor and overwhelming, making each component of the game initially more complicated than necessary. This is especially valid for combat sequences.

When in combat, players click on enemies to damage them by spells. In addition, the different elements can be actively exchanged and unlocked through the progress of the story, each with their own warnings. For example, the fire has longer reload times while it launches more damage, while the wind offers the opposite. In addition, the protection can be performed at any time to deny the damage received if it is correctly synchronized.

Enemy encounters are shown preventively through the map, so you know what you are getting into. Still, they are never that difficult. Even when the battles of the event bosses are taken into account, all that is needed to win is a skillful mouse maneuver. However, that factor does not take away how addictive the game is.

Often, players will be forced to participate in mandatory fights against girls where the nature of the title’s public service acquires all its strength. Attacking specific clothing starts wardrobe breaks. However, there is tension in these events, since the attacks must still be treated and monitored. While it’s probably not the intention, having to work to achieve lewd rewards makes seeing them even sweeter. The beautiful work of art enhances these events. Kaya was particularly noted thanks to his well-endowed assets standing out during the battles.

The sound quality is impressive, with an appropriate and passionate voice work from each cast member. Several scenes have a comic tone, and the voice actors take advantage of that in an expert way with too severe line deliveries that contrast with the absurd.

Also, the soundtrack is unexpectedly fantastic, with clues like the general battle theme that induces the right emotion. Finally, although it is a relatively minor factor, the sound effects when placing mosaics on the world map provide a sense of consummate delight that you unconsciously waited for the more you played.

re; Lord 2 ~ The Cologne Witch and the Black Cat ~ It is a fantastic erotic visual novel that stands out in an attractive narration along with an outstanding and convincing characterization. In addition, the attractive sound design and simple yet addictive combat solidify the quality of this experience. Even with the possible monotony that can arise during the meaningless game loop, it’s a lot of fun.

Still, it is recommended to play the first game to get the most out of this sequel, so make sure you play the first one if re; Lord 2 le interested.

Re;Lord 2 ~The Witch of Cologne and Black Cat~ is available for Windows PC through Steam & Denpasoft (+18).
