Stream: Death End Re Quest 2
Dive into Death End Re Quest 2 through my perspective. This page serves as a living journal, updated daily with bite-sized reviews, exclusive video highlights, and curated screenshot galleries from my adventure.
So many bad ends at once!
I think I'm nearing the final bits of Death End Re Quest 2 and it's been an amazing journey with the mystery and tension. The amount of "bad end" scenes kind of makes me lean on the "we're going to reset everything" as final ending for the game otherwise there would be problems in making the third game be a continuity.
From what I've seen so far, both first and second are linked chronologically and they are part of the same story so I would guess the third one will be as well. I can't wait to play it too later on.
Escaping from the accursed city
They're about to try and escape from the city, this can't end well for sure. Rottie's mom is the main suspect for everything right now, but I'm sure there's more to it considering the whole setting.
She is definitely evil and is definitely doing horrible things, but she doesn't feel like a "mastermind" type of character. There has to be someone behind her controlling the events in this city. Just who it is is the question. It has to be someone we already saw though as it would be weird to add a new character this late in the game.
Connection between Mai and Arata
Oh, that's the first solid connection to the first game of the series aside from Shina being present. Apparently, back when she was at her father home, Mai hacked in the Enigma Games servers and got discovered by Arata that left her with a file that she kept up to this day. That file was the key needed to unlock the laptop that they found in that house.
I'm still totally confused if this is a virtual world or reality after they mixed as we saw in the epilogue of the first game though.
The monsters feel like something that would come out of a game, but with the pollution of the real world...we really couldn't tell can we?
Liliana introduction to the cast
Just give up Mai, Rottie is right! You should headpat and hug her all day!
Liliana has been a great addition to the main cast so far, she's sort of a more taciturn and shy girl. It brings a good contrast to the extremely energetic Rottie and the taciturn, but aggressive Mai. As far as I understand, these three are the only new playable characters that we get in this game, all the others are returning characters from the first game in virtual form (even though only Shina really appeared for real in the world).
Rottie x Mai yuri is the best thing ever!
Yeah, after playing a bit more I can officially say that Rottie is so damn yuri for Mai. The game continues to tease us with Rottie approaching Mai and her refusing her advances, but we all know that she's going to get softer and softer over time and eventually...
Or at least I can dream right? I like when stories shows these light yuri scenes, but never actually go through with it and is more left to be innuendo and light comedic scenes.
Death End Re Quest 2 does exactly that and the fact that most of it is focused around ONLY Rottie and Mai it makes the impact even bigger as you have time to actually know and love the characters.
Death End Re Quest Journal Start
The next game in line to play is Death End Re Quest 2. I loved the first game (I'll make a post about it soon) and I'm quite interested in knowing how they can continue from the quite shocking ending of the first. Both Rottie and Mai seems to be extremely charming characters so far and I love their interactions.
The setting is kind of creepy though, but I guess it's a given considering the genre. Hopefully no more trauma scenes like we got in the first game, some were really hard to read through...
