I liked the first entry pretty much but in fact, i wasnt aware that second entry is even in developement. So when i got this game in curator page, i was pretty suprised and in the same time curious of what this game can be and im satisfied with what i got. First of all what even is Cave Quest? Cave Quest is a mix of FPP, Hidden Object like adventure game with match 3 often with twists like match 3 to get bubbles to later merge till bubble size will reach 100% of possible size or match 3 to clean a road or sometimes even with puzzle quest-like fights. The last one has been the most improved compared to original material. We got "gear system" that progress through out the game allowing players to fight bigger and bigger challenges and we also got skills that you unlock and upgrade via rpg-esque levelling system, that even though it doesnt say which level you have at specific time, it later shows you on the steam leaderboard, the more exp you gained, the higher score you will have on that ladder. Skills in fact, are not exclusive to fights, some of which are exclusive to more peaceful match 3 riddles, are available in both modes as passives or some lets you invest the level to get more exp in long term. However the not improved part of the game is the story. I mean its better than in original but the thing is, they are completely different titles. While first entry was set in modern times with some fantastic, unusual, mythical even, elements, this one goes full on high fantasy route with elves, magicans, fairies, demons and all that stuff. Maybe it was required change for future entries that might have be released someday, but for me the game went full cliche. Maybe it wouldnt be much of an issue but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game is long! On average, games from these genres takes around 5-12hours for me this one took me 23h already and im finally at the end of final chapter. I assume it will take me additional 2h to finish it. However if you are the type of person who really care about money per hour of fun, this geneuinly is a no brain deal for you. For those who are just want to chill out or dont think high fantasy is a cliche setting its also a deal, riddles are fun and challenging, enemies are diverse for the portion of overall time fights take and the plot is reasonable and really entertaining for the genre it represents! Ive seen way worse stories than this one in games like that and i might even say even though its too long, its rewarding.
