Though it’s only been out a few days, some critics have already bagged and tagged Soulcaster II. Here’s what I’ve found so far:
“The game is hard, but not unfair, so you never want to throw your controller at the screen.”
“The soundtrack takes no prisoners.” (Google translated this one for me.) 12/12!
– Inside-360.de Indie Games (German)
“It’s a rare game that doesn’t allow me to say that it’s exactly like any other game at this point, and Soulcaster II is exactly that sort of game.”
“MagicalTimeBean did well to return to the original, brush up what was lagging behind the gameplay, and present a more well-rounded and polished package in Soulcaster II. If you loved the first game, just go buy the sequel now. And if you have never played the game before, you’ll be rewarded with some of the most innovative gameplay around, with wondrous aesthetics and a great value at 240 MS points.”

“All of the technical aspects feel authentic and make give the impression that you’re playing an exquisitely crafted SNES game rather than a next-gen title that is trying to be retro.”
