RPG Maker trash.

I already owned Atonement Scourge Of Time, so at the beginning of this one I was a bit distraught by the demise of one character from the previous story.

Althought I start by now to be used to this creator's content and previous work in the same line, I started to be surprised and rediscovering facets of his Atonement universe sdespite this chapter following only one character (sure I can ask for a trilogy here with Nail).

I was pleasantly surprised that despite the initial feel of railroad effect, there are many more options that don't seem quite obvious at the start. On first playtrough round I just got 57% achievement. Meaning I must had been tourough but not seen everything up yet. One of the changes from the first was toward the skillpoint system that really customized the characters to the player<s type of roleplay and the difficulty setting that might also change quite a few things in the game's run. (For the sake of the story and get faster trying more of my collection I played on easy, but I was confirmed that a better tactician approach was required for the hardest difficulty settings.)

How your character dispose of the criminals in this game influence a lot how others will be suffering later on. ^^

Good sequel to the first one. One weakness though: This game continues off where the first game ended with the same characters so this game is definitely not a stand alone game. Playing the first game is mandatory.

If you liked the first one then this is a good buy. If not then don't bother...

Not better than the first game. A valiant effort by its developers to bring a little bit more-original storytelling to your average RPGMaker fare, but - like most RPGMaker titles - it falls short.

Would happily buy and play a remake of some kind.

If you are a fan of the first, then you should play this one. Those that complain these are just another RPGMaker game are pretty wrong. You can tell that a lot of time went into making this, and for the price it's an unbelievable value. Having said that, I would say this is the weaker of the two titles. The story is convoluted, I don't really like the orb system compared to the previous weapons system, and the character development is much weaker here. BUT, it's still miles better than the majority of other games with the RPGMaker tag. And the music is still great and very much raises the bar compared to similar titles. If you like the Atonement series, I recommend City of Chains from the same developer, it's a cyberpunk RPG with similar stylings.

TLDR: Homebrew. Narrative is the pits, dialogue still lacks credibility, still hate the world setting and the items have been streamlined too much from the original.

There are some improvements, and I would definitely play this game anyday over the original so it has that going for it. Going to remove this for declutter to make room for better party RPGS.

A lot of the lore, mechanics, and structure of Atonement 1. With some severe changes makes for an incremental improvement over the predecessor, and dare I say, turns it obsolete since this rehashes the same plot for intro and cannibalizes all the lore, the dialogues are a little more organic but still sound like they all are from the same person no matter who is talking. Game is structured around a hub and story-related collection of instances which change as you progress. This was good. There is thus more asset variety and less pointless trekking through the countryside. The instances are not very inspired in terms of design and the encounters are just trashmobs repeated over and over with little to no variety until you find the end of dungeon chest with the quest item. The plot keeps all the elements I dislike in terms of world setting and narrative, and somehow worsens it with a nonsensical clash of the timelines sillyness where you fight a clone of yourself and all the other cliches. Items have been streamlined by so much that they are just silly tokens that you equip for +Stats. You can use reward points to specialize in one of the several branches available for purchase through skilltrees and they all seem desirable in one way or another which is good. The animations on the sprites are a tiny bit better, and so are the sprites themselve but they are still low tier.
