Very nice.

The music and artwork is really good. Gameplay is also excellent and very immersive and addicting. Love it!

If you like being frustrated...

This is the game for you my friend. Much more difficult than the original. Don't go in unawares. Great game just 50% more frustrating than the first one. Still great polish and good mechanics though. Personally when I play something like this, I like a challenge, but a relaxing one, this title delivers on the first, but sadly does not on the second.

Exceptional

Excellent matching gameplay with good controls and top notch art and music. Loved this game. Finished it in about three sittings.

An excellent successor

For the longest time, I was put off by reviews that were saying just how difficult and frustrating this game is. It seems the game has been balanced since then, because Azkend 2 is truly excellent. I'll be clear: if you want a relaxing match game, Azkend 2 is not for you. (It can be frustrating at times, as you really need to vary your powerups, much moreso than the first game.) That said, if you want a challenging, beautiful match game with excellent music and nicely varied goals (much more so than the first Azkend), then you've found your game. EDIT: just finished the game last night...and went back and started it over again (you get to keep your power ups!), as well as working on the medals. On the whole, some of the levels maybe feel a bit too hard (bug levels on a small grid were quite challenging), in that they require as much luck as skill...but no board took me more than a dozen tries....and it makes the payoff all the more rewarding. Difficult, but not impossible (Jewel Quest vs levels, I'm looking at you). On the whole, every bit as good as the first game, and in many ways, better.

Frustrating Gameplay

I enjoyed the adventure mode mostly but 2 things make this a game to avoid. Some levels are going to be lost from the beginning. On multiple occasions I had maps where there was only 1 valid move and then the map would regenerate. What is worse is that sometimes the newly generated map had the same issues. Then on the medals gameplay, you can lose the ability to win the medal with no explanation of why. Randomly the medals get disabled for the level.

Enjoyed it!

Nice music and graphics. Very challenging. I love the story that goes along with it.

Excellent

Great puzzle game, adventure storyline, music, high production values overall. Gameplay is challenging and there's a lot of strategy involved in picking the correct items best suited for each level. Getting stuck on a level is frustrating, but switching up equipment in your inventory usually is the key to passing the level. I agree with most reviewers that the timer is frustrating but it's all the sweeter when you beat the level.

Too difficult to enjoy

VirtualPanther

I loved the original Azkend. Version 2, however, even after all of the updates, is way too difficult and time-limiting to be enjoyable for me. I'm just not into that. I like relaxing games.

Fun but too short

First of all, to people whining that it's too difficult: It's not supposed to be relaxing. Not every game is relaxing. If you're finding it too difficult, do like the game says and try different active and lassie power ups. My only complaint is that the game is so short! I beat it in a few days of casual play. The first Azkend seemed much, much longer. Please add levels.

Very entertaining

It was a pleasure playing this game, the graphics, music and the game itself is very interesting. Kudos to the developers. Highly recommended!
