Intriguing concept with enough to keep you going (7/10)

Though the main thing with Draw A Stickman: EPIC 2 is that you keep drawing your own creative stick people, there is enough depth here to keep you interested. There is something about this overall title that can simply feel fun to play, it has a simplicity that makes each level feel a little different with alternating challenges. Out of all of the things that can keep you going, though, is the social aspect. Share with friends, show others what you have created, and in general just focus on having a good time.

Get used to seeing your stickmen facing off against everything from goblins to dragons and even challenging boss fights. The level of challenge might not be as high as you would get with more traditional games, but there is still enough of a puzzle there. For that reason, you should be prepared for a challenging experience that, once you get the hang of it, can become quite addictive – in a good way.
