In-between missions, the “bartering” system from the first game has been replaced with actual currency and as a result players can find “valuables” both from rare enemies that act something like a Metal Slime, as well as receive them as rewards for various activities such as the Scrap Fishing hook, Expeditions, and more.

The most significant additions come in the form of the Judgment system where Malt is tasked with making a choice that impacts his “Empathy” or “Resolve” if players don’t manage to satisfy all of the requirements for the True Ending, then these stats can impact which alternative ending you’ll receive - but for most players, these stats will only matter for the special orders that Malt can randomly use during the middle of battles once you’ve reached the threshold for unlocking them the ability to randomly force an enemy to miss their attack, to cure a child of their fear, restore a portion of your SP - and much more. Simply put it’s an extension of the systems which Fuga 1 included rather than a reinvention.

Periodically throughout stages, players will come across spots where they can hail an airship to purchase and sell items, drop an HP/SP restore point along their path, bombard enemies further into the stage, or even double back to a previous location in the level in order to take an alternative path fighting additional enemies, gaining more experience, all at the risk of putting yourself into further danger.

While there have been changes and additions, things remain much the same you control a group of (eventually) 12 kids, pilot a giant tank with practically the same layout as the first game’s, and the True Ending is locked behind both ensuring a specific child’s relationship with the rest of the crew is strong - and by making it to the end of the game without a single child falling victim to the Soul Cannon.įuga 2’s changes are smaller in scope for story reasons, one Hanna Fondant is absent from the crew meanwhile, newcomer Vanilla Muscat takes her place, albeit with her own unique set of skills. That can be a good or a bad thing Fuga’s overall gameplay loop was solid as it was, though I’m sure that at least some players that had finished the first entry more recently might find themselves burning out on the second.

If you haven’t read my review for the first Fuga: Melodies of Steel, here is where I’d highly suggest doing so Fuga 2 is the iterative sort of sequel, and as such the majority of my thoughts echo how I felt about the first game nearly 2 years ago.
