Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom Review | AusGamers

AusGamers has reviewed Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom on PS4 and writes:

"For an odd reason, developer Level-5 thought the bridging character for Ni No Kuni II needed to be president of an unknown country (America, obvs), and that once he landed in the world of Ni No Kuni II -- after a nuclear strike hits the city he’s heading towards for a summit, obvs -- he no longer needed to be an old man, but rather now a young pony-tailed sword-wielding, gun-toting handsome badass. Because JRPG.

What’s even weirder is this sort of only plays itself out to justify that character -- Roland’s -- enlightened sense of leadership. That he so quickly adapts to his new role in this game as protector of a half cat half human boy king whose been usurped is equally ridiculous, and once you accept these facts, Ni No Kuni II presents itself as an awesome, engaging and combat-focused JRPG that sort of makes up its own rules as it plays out. Because JRPG..."

i am terribly sorry, but this game is a 6/10 at best,
has this blogger even played the game? nino 2 is an incoherent mess and the engine is watered down beyond casual.
nino 2 is a disgrace to the brilliant first one.

this game didnt do it for me. it's not bad, but kingdom building is just too tedious. i felt like everything was a step back from story to combat.

Where the Heck is Ni No Kuni 3, Mun?

Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."

While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?

I thought the dev recently went mobile and Japan only. They shut down their American offices. So don't expect anything for consoles

shinoff2183118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

I swear they just announced a few new games.

phoenixwing117d ago

I stand corrected then. Never heard about these games and also i just remember ni no kuni online being mobile only.

Michiel1989117d ago

they said a loooooong time ago that Level 5 was working on a new installment but there has been no news since afaik. I just hope that they take more inspiration from 1 than 2, especially when it comes to the story.

thorstein117d ago

Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds is the mobile game you're thinking of.

It looks amazing but I don't like to play mobile games.

Yeah the sequel was okay but had nothing on the first game, especially the battle system.

The story just didn't have that charm and even the twist at the end of the game wasn't really anything cool like Wrath of the White Witch.

Also the fact there was like ZERO mention of Oliver or his adventures in the game, no references, nothing was such weird. It's set a hundred or so years after but still, I'd have expected to seen some throw backs. I think we just got like a temple with his statue in it or something.

goldwyncq117d ago

If you want more Oliver, just watch the movie.

shinoff2183118d ago

Fking word. I've been hoping for this for quite some time.

melons117d ago

The premium games didn't sell amazingly, right?

shinoff2183117d ago

Not to sure. They should of though. They were pretty good. I like both.

Michiel1989117d ago

yeah, especially outside of japan. They should have released on pc at the same time as the ps3 version or a short time after.

Inverno117d ago

They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!
