While Dragon Fantasy Book II is far from a bad game, it doesn't quite live up to its predecessor. The story is hilarious and characters are great. Even the graphics are good with the new models allowing for more expression, but the buggy combat system ultimately weighs the whole game down.
Jessey · Oct 22, 2014 Reviewed on VitaRead full reviewDragon Fantasy Book II is an ambitious title, but unfortunately marred by a few too many problems to be as fun as Book I. It is not a bad game, but the title tends to drag on in the middle, and the tedium with having to deal with inferior monsters and stray bugs are bound to grate on many nerves. Regardless, if you played Book I and are interested in how the story continues, Book II is still worth picking up at some point... especially if you are interested in what might might happen next in the planned 64-bit Book III.
Elizabeth Henges · Oct 26, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewDragon Fantasy: Book II’s over-reliance on exploiting nostalgia leaves little room to take advantage of its too few interesting contributions to the traditional Japanese RPG structure. Consequently, it subjects itself to the same problems that have long since been ironed out.
Mitch Dyer · Oct 02, 2013 Reviewed onRead full reviewWith Dragon Fantasy Book II's bare-bones combat and rampant technical issues, your appreciation of the game will boil down to how much you enjoy puns. The framework is in place for a bigger, more engaging game, but there's just no reason to move beyond the basics. Don't be fooled by its appearances: this classic-looking RPG gets nowhere close to filling the shoes of its inspirations.
Brian Albert · Sep 24, 2013 Reviewed on VitaRead full reviewLike the bald hero himself, Dragon Fantasy: Book II emerges from the dungeon victorious, boasting of pretty graphics, a glorious soundtrack, and solid gameplay. But its celebration of JRPGs is cursed with unnecessary mechanics and cut short by technical shortcomings. Ogden would have been better off fondly reminiscing about his previous, more enjoyable adventures.
Robert Ramsey · Sep 15, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewIn many ways Dragon Fantasy Book II is an ambitious undertaking, aiming to revisit and recreate one of the most beloved periods in console role-playing games. The fact that it's not entirely successful is disappointing, to be sure, but nonetheless, Book II remains an entertaining experience that retro gamers and RPG devotees would be hard pressed to dislike.
Stew Shearer · Sep 11, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewWhen it hits its stride, Dragon Fantasy Book II draws on the moments of unintended comedy from these great, iconic games and delivers a train-sized suplex to the crowded genre of retro RPGs to establish itself as a game well worth your time.
