Ratings and reviews

For the mobile version of the console games, it is certainly not lacking! In fact, if anything, there's more layers to the game to keep you invested. There's over 50 characters to collect, each with their own small story to dive into. You switch them in and out to combat bosses as their skills are needed. The turn-based combat is similar to the console game with enough variation to keep it fresh. You can eventually re-challenge bosses at varying levels for loot. Music and art is still stunning!

The first half of the game is boring. A lot of assets, including the dungeons, are reused from Octopath 1. That said the main story quests are pretty compelling and during the second half of the game things pick up and a few new locations are introduced. Unfortunately, that is also when there is a difficulty spike between bosses and progression slows to a crawl unless you are willing to grind/shell out money.

For a mobile game it's pretty good. If your a fan of the series this game expands from the story to the mechanics. It's easy going but has its challenges in terms of enemys. The 8 traveler system is near flawless and the game is something you can jump right back into after months of not playing it. Overall a 9/10
