I genuinely enjoyed this game. It’s no Bloodstained, but it plays really nicely, and offers up the kind of B-tier delights that we just don’t see much of any more. I know that much of my review will sound like a list of backhanded compliments, but when you consider that the team most certainly wasn’t out there to create an artistic masterpiece, the fact that I found this so purely entertaining is surely what they wanted. You’ve got to be the kind of person that gets a kick out of genuine B-grade nonsense to enjoy AeternoBlade II, but if that’s you, you’re going to have a cracking t…
I enjoyed my time in AeternoBladeII but alas I can not give it more than 4.5/10 due to poor optimization, stubborn camera and an overall dated game design.
With unenjoyable and clunky combat that is made much worse during the 3D segments, a laughably archetypal fantasy story, and dated character models, it’s hard to actually believe that AeternoBlade II released this year for modern consoles. AeternoBlade II simply falls short of all of its ambitions, whatever they might have been.
Needless to say, when there are so many good Metroidvanias available on all formats right now, there really is no reason to invest in or play AeternoBlade II. With its crude visuals, laughable voice acting and dull and clumsy combat, it really doesn’t have much going for it at all. It’s one those rare sequels that is actually worse than its predecessor, so unless you’re a glutton for punishment, give it a wide berth.
AeternoBlade II is definitely a step up from their first game!
