A decent title, but not without its flaws.

Random Heroes 2 is the sequel to Random Heroes, which was a fun little platformer. There was plenty to improve on for Random Heroes 2 to make it a must-have title, but it sadly it misses the mark to be one of iOSs top platformers.

To start, the game relies too heavily on the need for gold. You will notice the first thing when you play is that absolutely everything costs you money. There is no form of progression as you play, if you have the coin, you can buy whatever you want, and whatever character you want.

Because the game relies on gold for everything, youll find that the character you are going to want to get quickly is the King, as every enemy he defeats drops only gold coins, which are worth more than silver ones. Once you have the King, all other characters are useless. Theres absolutely no reason to touch anyone else as they will not give you the gold you need.

The same applies for weapons. Once you have the Sniper Rifle, theres no reason to use any other weapon. Since using a weapon doesnt level it up (only gold does), using other weapons is pointless. The sniper rifle is overpowered and kills everything in one shot, making the game devoid of any challenge.

Lastly, the level quests such as collecting the 3 stars and the skull in each level are practically a joke. You can go through the entire game in 1 play through and have collected everything, while only accumulating enough money for 1/10th of everything the game can have you purchase and upgrade. The problem with this is that theres absolutely no reason to go back and play the levels again.

Theres plenty of content but the execution of it all is very subpar. If you are looking for a quick pick up and romp through title, this may satisfy your cravings, but if you have played Random Heroes 1, theres no reason to play the second as its more an expansion than a sequel.

Overall, the game is not terrible, but theres no reason to go back to previous levels to unlock all of the content since youre never going to use any of it.
