TheSixthAxis: 5 / 10 by Miguel Moran

Dusk Diver 2 flies too close to the sun - and it isn't even aiming for the sun in it's own solar system. While the original game was a tight and exciting brawler, this sequel tries to pivot into a more methodical character-action style without the tools that make those games so rewarding. The result is a game with repetitive, sluggish combat dominating the entire experience. Fans might find crumbs of narrative intrigue to explore here, but newcomers have little reason to dive in.

GameGrin: 7.5 / 10 by Jon Wilson

Dusk Diver 2 is a stylish, well-thought-out, and addictive hack n' slash game, and while budgetary constraints might've bogged it down in a few areas, you still shouldn't pass it over.

Nintendo Life: 5 / 10 by Scott McCrae

Dusk Diver 2, like the first game, has potential; the cast of characters and storyline are both engaging, and the world could definitely host more interesting stories in the future. However, this sequel sadly fumbles things on the gameplay front, with a disappointing mixture of damage-sponge enemies and drawn-out encounters. While we didn't enjoy Dusk Diver 2 as much as we had hoped, there is something there - a kernel of potential as yet unrealised - and there are going to be people who absolutely adore it despite its faults. For us, a potential Dusk Diver 3 will hopefully boast combat engaging enough to match the writing on display here.

Dusk Diver 2 is the second installment of the series of dynamic action games with RPG elements, launched in 2019. The game was developed by the authors of the original, the Wanin Games studio, while its release was handled by Justdan International.

Plot

The action of Dusk Diver 2 is set after the events presented in the first part of the series. During the game we once again play as Yang Yumo, who, after graduating from high school, began her studies. The protagonist has to face evil phantoms once again, using supernatural powers given to her by deities.

Mechanics

In Dusk Diver 2 the action is presented from the third person perspective (TPP). The heroine is able to move between the physical reality and a parallel dimension, where phantoms live. During the game we move through these locations and perform various tasks as well as face hordes of enemies. Clashes are dynamic and the key to success is combining attacks in spectacular combinations and skillful use of special blows. As we progress, we gain new experience levels and increase the combat potential of the protagonist.
