Press reviews: “A great story paired with gorgeous 8-bit graphics, fun enemies, & a super catchy soundtrack took me back to when I was a teen, spending all my time playing RPGs on the NES & SNES. Only this time, it is even better…” 10/10 – GameGrin “8-Bit Adventures 2 is the ideal sequel, and it’s just as easy to jump into without knowing anything about the first game...Between a fantastic story with endearing, well-written characters and combat that utilizes every feature available, the game is perfect for any JRPG fan.” 8.5/10 – TechRaptor “The characters were very memorable & had lovingly written dialogue with distinct styles for everyone. As well as the Glitch being a very fleshed-out Villain. The game shines the brightest in its combat, & exploration of the varied & unique locales…It is an easy recommendation due to its classical yet thrilling journey.” 9/10 – Lords of Gaming
