Our take on Walk with the Living 2
The likely sticking point is the injury system: a character who falls in battle loses stats, even though they return in the next chapter. Players unwilling to accept lasting stat penalties for battlefield losses may hit that wall as soon as a unit falls.
What is Walk with the Living 2?
Walk with the Living 2 is a queer strategy melodrama centered on a young woman who discovers an uncanny ability to transform.
Family secrets, danger, and personal bonds shape a branching story told through several characters’ viewpoints. Choices affect relationships and the directions their lives take, with beneficial or harmful results. Tactical encounters emphasize the player’s turn and require careful use of positioning and terrain. A character defeated in combat suffers reduced attributes, then returns for the following chapter.
The Learn system provides ways to improve character statistics. On later playthroughs, equipment, supplies, and gold carry forward through New Game Plus. Replaying with different decisions can uncover many endings and individual epilogues, supported by expressive sprites, character portraits, and richly detailed backgrounds.
