I will admit that I have come into Walk with the Living 2 without playing the first game (the game was gifted to me by a buddy) and despite being new to this series, I had a fantastic time with this old school style RPG. The story being told here is fantastic, so good that I kind of wish I had played the first game as I am sure it would have had even more impact on me had I been more familiar with this family of characters.

A Fire In The Emblem

When you read anything about Walk with the Living 2 comparisons to the old school Fire Emblem series are always thrown around. This is not a gimmick or people being lazy, Fire Emblem is the best way to think of this game, but not the modern ones, the original titles. We have a fantastic story that spans multiple characters, we have this family where the oldest daughter has a special ability, the middle child, the son wants peace, and the youngest child, another daughter has her life changed in a dramatic way.

We Are Family

The family dynamic of Niamh, Tadhg, and Deirde is what I loved the best about Walk with the Living 2. We have such a well written and paced story that I honestly feel that it is near impossible not to be sucked into this world and entertained by it all. We have a fantastic LGBTQ style story here that is arguably one of the best that has been told in a game of this style. While I am sure you would appreciate the story more if you had played the original game, I managed to get hooked just fine and I knew nothing about any of the characters in this game before I started.

Turn Based Perfection

Not only is Walk with the Living 2 comparable to Fire Emblem in the way that the story is presented. The gameplay is very similar as well. You have your overworld style part, but the combat is done in a turn-based way. It is very strategic, fun, and deep, but not so deep that it becomes frustrating. There is also a neat injury system that you will have to deal with and you can boost your characters as well as you progress through the game. You also have visual novel style story elements where you have to make some pretty big decisions as you go through the game that can alter things quite dramatically.

Style With A Ton Of Substance!

While the gameplay and the story of Walk with the Living 2 is fantastic, the visual style is also something that is awesome here too. We have that top-down style for most of the game and again, it is a very classic Fire Emblem in its style. However, we do also have these absolutely gorgeous looking character portraits and scenes that help you get even more invested in the story that is being told. They have this hand drawn style to them that makes you feel like you are taking part in an interactive storybook.

9

If you enjoy strategy RPGS and especially if you love the Fire Emblem series, Walk with the Living 2 is a game that I assure you, you are going to have a whole lot of fun with. The story is just fantastic with well written and well-developed characters that you become very invested in. I love the turn-based combat system at play here too and the way you can improve and also have to heal your characters is very unique and fun as well.

Pros:

  • The story told in this game is fantastic
  • I loved the characters, especially the family dynamic that is going on
  • The gameplay from the combat to the exploration is great
  • I love the storybook art style of the game

Cons:

  • If you did not like the classic Fire Emblem games, this may not win you over
  • This is the kind of game that really does need a physical release
