#TOUHOU LABYRINTH 2 PLUS#
you no longer have to commit to builds like in LOT1) but the main one is just that LOT2 isn’t as hard as LOT1.Each page will (eventually) contain a map, plus data on notable enemies and boss strategies. I believe there are a whole bunch of reasons for this (e.g. In general, I expected to have so much more to say, since I can go on and on about Labyrinth of Touhou 1. Try winning a battle with Utsuho, Aya and Komachi and just look at the results screen)Īnd I think that’s it.
In the first game, they made every portrait a uniform size. The art is nice, though what is going on with some of these portraits. The adherence to elements of Touhou canon is also quite nice The writing still has that absurdist, LOT1 flavor, but it’s way more restrained. LOT2′s story does a good job of giving you long term motivation via the guest character battles and the recurring main boss. The story is definitely better than LOT1. Still, LOT2′s boss theme is absolutely a banger The music isn’t bad but LOT1 and it’s soundtrack (with its different battle themes and unique boss themes) makes it look so much worse. They make grinding less boring, they make certain floors interesting (like the underwater floors) and they help make the game’s straightforward dungeon design more interesting I would call this a negative, but after suffering through LOT1′s teleporter maze or the 9-12F switch puzzle again on my recent replay, THANK GOD they restrained themselves hereįOEs were a great addition. I also dislike the symbols they use for affinities and ailmentsĪside from the addition of FOEs, dungeons aren’t as gimmicky as LOT1. I was hoping you could use it to figure out boss weaknesses while still learning to fight them, but entries only get filled *after* the fight, so it’s use is really limited. The Bestiary isn’t as useful as I would have liked. After those early hours, however, I found it pretty easy to ignoreĭespite not thinking much of it at first, the Achievements system (which provides you with in-game rewards) was a good idea For the first few hours of the game where it’s required to unlock characters, it’s annoying.
#TOUHOU LABYRINTH 2 HOW TO#
Not sure how to feel about the Workshop function. Satori in particular is just so much fun to play with her “Spellcard Recollection” passive
Most of the new characters are just amazing. Note that I am referring only to the main story. To put it in a sentence, LOT1 is where the bosses shine whereas LOT2 is where the parties do. LOT1 had many amazing boss fights (Youmu, Eientei, Alice, Yukari, Rinnosuke etc.) while I felt LOT2 had way fewer interesting boss fights overall. With all that said, I do think that the focus on party building definitely came at the expense of the bosses. If you’re really willing to sub-class and customize, you can probably even get away with just running a party of your favorite characters. For all but the hardest story fights, there are lots of different ways to approach the bosses. The more open-ended approach to party building is just the best. Here are my unorganized thoughts about the game in bullet points: Gameplay I had a bigger post planned but I’m just too busy with uni crap at the moment. Tl dr it’s a shorter, easier and rather different game, but it’s still a worthy sequel to Labyrinth of Touhou 1
