  Derivative as it is, Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince is still a great game. It does almost everything right, and it’s as fun to play as the originals it imitates. The story is forgettable, and every single location and gameplay feature has been done by someone else, but combat is still fun, and puzzles are a nice change of pace. Visually, it’s a nice-looking game that looks distinctly 16-bit.

  Blossom Tales 2 is certainly a fun and satisfying 2D Zelda-like, but it doesn’t impress in the same ways that the original did. The final dungeon is about 30 percent too long, and the minute-to-minute traversal of the map doesn’t have the pace to generate that “leave-no-stone-unturned” momentum.

  The worst thing I can say about Blossom Tales 2: The Minotaur Prince, is that there are very few of the developer’s own ideas in the entire game. On the flip side of that, you could argue that because it is taking its inspiration from one of the greatest franchises of all time – and does a good job of replicating it – the quality of the game is very high.

  Blossom Tales II is a better game than its predecessor, and I hope we continue to get more adventures from Lily, Chrys, and their grandpa in the future.

  7.0

  Blossom Tales 2 is the kind of game that’s absolutely good, but definitely not great. The cute narrative premise, solid dungeon design, and pacing of overall progression all make this one worthwhile, but it’s also the kind of game that feels like it’s hamstrung by its lack of daring to try something new.

  A fast travel system does attempt to soften traversal and does a modest job. My biggest compliment, though, is much like Link’s Awakening – a bite-sized excursion with endlessly replayability. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
