Dragon Quest Heroes 2 Reviews
Making me wander over to the shop to purchase a stat upgrade already behind a progression gate is so pointless.
I was expecting some of the on-paper enhancements to impact me more, but Dragon Quest Heroes II isn't a stark improvement. It is better though, so if you wanted to get in on the first quest and missed out, you may as well skip it and jump in here -- you won't be missing a whole lot.
Dragon Quest Heroes II is a step backwards from the first Heroes, but represents a solid Dynasty Warriors-style action game. It gets repetitive, but taking on a massive army single-handedly is fun
Dragon Quest Heroes 2 feels like a step forward in some ways, but a step back in others. The new additions to combat are nice, but the attempts to bring more RPG elements to the story missions don't always work out for the best – at worst, they wind up transforming an enjoyable action game into a boring slog. At least it shows that Omega Force is willing to try new things with their long-established formula. Let's hope that their experiments go a little better next time.
There's a lot to be played and a lot of fun to be had here, if you loved the first chapter of the series. Unfortunately, despite some improvements, you'll find the same limitations as well.

Not a bad sequel, but the first chapter is still better.

Dragon Quest Heroes II is successful in carrying the torch from where the first entry in the franchise ended. Heres II has enough improvements over previous systems to make it feel more like an RPG and less like a game focused solely on hack ‘n’ slash. Unfortunately, the characters didn’t click for me the same way they did with the first entry. If you are looking for some button mashing fun though you’ll find it aplenty in this game.
Dragon Quest Heroes II is a great improvement on its predecessor in almost every way – while it's far from being a perfect game, those put off by the last might actually find this more to their tastes. Dragon Quest Heroes is becoming a great action game series in its own right, though still has plenty of room to grow.
Dragon Quest Heroes 2, overall, is a fantastic experience. A game that has caught me by surprise as I did not believe I would enjoy it quite as much as I have. With its wonderfully vibrant characters, enrapturing music, effervescent world and the amount of content included there is just so much to love about the game.
Dragon Quest Heroes II is not just another Dynasty Warriors or Dragon Quest spin-off, this is the best of two worlds, an exemplary of an offspring sticking firmly and faithfully to the roots, to what made JRPG's unique and beloved. I can’t cease singing the praises of the exploration based, JRPG inspired direction of the game. Living breathing world, lovable cadre, hours of nostalgic JRPG fun, tons of side quests and multiplayer dungeons provides a lot of bang for your buck. Whether you are Dynasty Warriors or Dragon Quest fan, this is a highly recommended title that amazingly balances between the weakness and strengths of both worlds.
Dragon Quest Heroes II is a marked improvement over its prequel, removing divisive elements and introducing an online co-op mode and a big open world full of side content to explore.
There's nothing really new in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 in comparison to the original game. Nevertheless, sequel can still deliver hours of pure fun due to interesting battle system, beautiful world and lighthearted story.

Undeniably one of the best Musou games.
Offering you more freedom to explore and customise your characters, Dragon Quest Heroes 2 is undoubtedly a commendable follow-up to its predecessor even though it feels more than a little bit samey at times.
If you enjoyed the first Dragon Quest Heroes , there's little reason to believe you won't love the sequel too.
Of course, for fans of the series, Dragon Quest Heroes 2 has all the right touches to bring about a smile.
Overall, Dragon Quest Heroes II is a game we'd recommend to RPG fans. It offers an engaging story, a wide cast of great characters, and some cool hack-and-slash combat.
Overall, Dragon Quest Heroes II is easily the most lovingly-recreated celebration of fanservice since Hyrule Warriors. There is an undeniable charm in its presentation, dialog and audio cues, and the shift towards more gameplay variety than the average Musou title is greatly appreciated, even if it isn't the biggest step forward.
Dragon Quest Heroes II is an hack-and-slash Dynasty Warriors clone that's laced with appreciated RPG flavoring. A must for any Dragon Quest fan, and a nice starter to those who aren't into this kind of genre.
Dragon Quest Heroes II delivers what a fan would want from a sequel, which in this case is more of the same but with some additions and improvements.
