I wasn’t extremely impressed by the quality of the game’s story as a whole, but I can say with some confidence that it’s an improvement over the one in the original game. Choosing one character over another won’t change the story in any significant ways, but each character does come with some side-quests specific to them. A half-naked swordsman, gun-toting blonde, animal-man hybrid melee guy, and generic, emo magician make up the cast, and each play quite differently.

This sequel traces a new story in the same universe with one of four selectable characters as the stars.

The plot of the first game followed a young boy named Regret in the midst of a war between the Holy Knights of the land and a clan of dragons. The conclusion that I’ve come to is that while this isn’t markedly better than any game before it, it is a massive improvement over the original game and stands among the best RPGs on the App Store.

Zenonia 2 has been out for a few days now, and I’ve finally been able to put it to the test. When I wrote the closing thoughts of my four-star review of Across Age a couple of months ago, I commented on the fact that the game marked a continuing increase in the quality of App Store RPGs, and I wondered if Zenonia 2 would be able to keep the pace.
