About
Grotesque Tactics 2: Dungeons & Donuts is the successor to the celebrated RPG-parody Grotesque Tactics. Experience an ironic story-driven RPG with humorous dialogue-puzzles in the style of Monkey Island as well as a strategic combat system, where your party members are controlled simultaneously.
Our story starts as the citizens of the Kingdom of Glory celebrate their victory over the Dark Church. While in the catacombs of their former enemies, their revelry is disturbed by a sudden all-encompassing fog. The citizens wrapped by the fog disappear screaming into nothing. Those that remain alive after the strange attack, barricade themselves in the depths of the catacombs. As time passes, food becomes scarce and the people of the Kingdom of Glory begin to realize that they might all meet their demise. The ‘heroic’ Knights of Glory, shady mercenaries and the arrogant high elves band together into guilds in order to survive and escape the dank catacombs. Unfortunately, the guilds are far too concerned with their distaste for each other and are oblivious to the awakening of dark forces in the dungeons below…

The first Part I liked very much and so I wanted the 2nd Part.
The Graphics have been changed more towards 3D but the Overall Result is more than Deficient. Opponents are Sometimes quite difficult to click on and due to the automatic Focus the Screen is quite happy to draw back to the current Character. This can go as far as Selecting a Wrong goal.
Finding away is generally atrocious. The Characters are constantly colliding somewhere and don't get on. As a rule, there is always at least one away from the Fight that there are several Rounds before all Members can take part in the Fight. Sometimes one or the other runs across the Cross-country country (even through Walls) and also triggers an Event.
On several Occasions I had the Problem that I could not take any Actions. Here has helped a Memory and reload but it is extremely annoying.
Generally missing the Joke from the first Part. In English, one or the other Joke comes across a little better than in German, but in general the game is very lame.
Who liked the first Part and with the thankful plays to pick up the 2nd Part I can recommend only one-> saves you the Money.

Since I thought the first Part was quite funny, I thought of the 2nd Part of the Grotesque Tactics Series, I will definitely be teasing the second Part but first what I thought was good of the 2nd Part and rather less good. I think I'll start with the Positive.
Positive: It was good, for example, that it did not lose its humor, would also be a pity, because this is the only thing that I Think is the Game. There were also Piles of white Allusions to Games, Animes such as Pokémon, which was quite amusing.
Also good I thought they improved the Game in small Places, with Innovations.
Like a Skill System with Skills or that when a Group Member dies it is only not available for the current Round and then appears immediately again, even with only 1hp but these were pretty Things that increased the Game Fun a bit again. Whoever has pulled the first Part won't be a bad wonder about the Improvements.
Cons: But I found it less good, but that the Game was still in the most extreme. Although the Game didn't crash with me anymore, the Character often just got stuck, that is, he was like frozen with a strong Tremor ...
But not enough in a Quest I had to start from scratch, I thought I was too Incompetent to protect the because he broke away from my Group every Time and ended up in a different Place, which made it impossible for me to complete the Quest. Later after several tries it worked out and I was Relieved that it was over. And found out that this is a Bug.
Also a pity but also good I thought the Graphics improved, but I found it a bit stupid that this Anime Style or Comic Style was lost that looked like I think a lot better.
Pro: + Many Innovations + No more crashes + So Humorous as the Predecessor * graphics (Enhancement of graphics, but the old Anime/Comic style should not have been changed, so it was once entered in Pro and Contra) Contra: Gameplay story-Other Bugs-price (Unless you buy it in the Sale, then the Price would be ok, but 10 Euro Regulators are too much for the Game) * graphic (Improving graphics, but the old Anime/Comic style should not have been changed, so it was once entered in Pro and Contra) Conclusion : Whoever has celebrated the first Part through the Piles of white Allusions as well as I will also become satisfying. Anyone who relies on Gameplay, Story and Graphics will be bitterly disappointed at this Series!
