Players praise the expanded weapon and build choices, boss fights, pixel art, and soundtrack. Some prefer the first game's darker religious atmosphere and find this sequel's map, controls, or combat arenas drawn out. Several also report a long-standing progression-blocking bug when the player and a boss die together.
