The first episode was released in 2019 and the second was released in 2021. So I have no idea what actually carries over.Light Fairytale is a Unity RPG developed by neko.works and released episodically. So I played the NA region of Episode 1, and for this instalment, I was playing the EU region. The save transfer seems to be region locked. But there is an option to carry over a save from the first episode. Now I wasn’t sure what level I would start at, but the game starts you at the level it expected you to end Episode 1 at. This time though, you actually feel like you’re getting stronger at least, as the level ups come at a great speed. Why have a store, and nothing better in them? I don’t get this mentality so far with these games. Where I could get one piece of better gear, but nothing else. This episode is also dragged down by the abysmal store. Sure I attached a gem to Ayaka so she could do a giant spell that hit everything, but when she’s tied up doing nothing but healing, I started to get a bit annoyed. This was great considering all the enemies were ice based, but the bosses themselves never took as much damage, and there was no way to turn this off. Not only was Haru the only one attacking, I had a gem equipped so he could do fire damage from his weapon. This was especially evident in the boss battles. So when the enemies start getting stronger and stronger, the fights last even longer. Sure eventually you get a teammate, but the only thing they can do is heal you. This made battles drag on for a lot longer than they needed to. It doesn’t help that this time, the game is plagued with enemies that you have to focus on, or else they respawn other enemies in battle. So when you’re pitted up against plenty of enemies at once, you have to hope that you can defeat them without using any items, or just waste them, and hope for the best. Although the game built up on the story, this episode felt like it got held back this time with the combat.įor a good portion of this episode, you play as just Haru. Sure it introduced the character, but I wanted to know more by the end. This was indeed VERY short, as I had it done in a matter of minutes. Maybe it’s because of all the story that actually happens, and you get to go through more than one dungeon! When you finish the game, you unlock a “very short side story” to a mysterious character. This episode actually felt a bit bulkier than the last as well. Who is a sweet and lovely girl, who may or may not be a couple hundred years old. But you do learn more about your saviour Ayaka. It also builds a little bit on Haru’s relationship with Kuroko, even though she’s nowhere to be found. This time there actually feels like there’s something at stake. The story is a step above the first episode. Not only does Haru have to find his way back to the city, he also finds himself caught up trying to survive in this harsh tundra, and needing to help a small town survive! Not entirely sure what to make of it and it’s frigid landscape, he winds up being rescued by the sweet and mysterious Ayaka. ReviewĪfter the cliff-hanger from Episode 1, Haru has ended up in the mysterious Deeplands. But this doesn’t affect anything, as my thoughts are mine and mine alone. *Disclaimer: A code was provided by the publisher for the purpose of this review.
