First one was way better. – Anodia 2 Review

This practical spin-off of Anodia is sub-par at best. It takes all of the not as interesting qualities of the first games level design and puts in mediocre music and an art style similar to the new iOS (which I personally find not very interesting or pleasing to look at- and also I bet was easier to program- so there ya go). To top it all off, you have to FARM in this game. At least in the first one you could get rewards and tools and visual upgrades which kept me interested and HOPING THAT THEY WOULD ADD MORE NEW MATERIAL TO ANODIA. That's what disappointed me most. They had it going- at least maybe they will use this experience to realize that the first one is better and go back to adding campaigns to that one. On top of the coin-farming, they added an uninspired lottery system and to boot, a pay to play mechanic. They at least tried to improve the rate at which you win and the rate at which you get coins, which is thoughtful, but is avoiding the main problem which is that the new mechanic is what is destroying iOS gaming and in turn, my faith in improvement of this "series". Please put more time and effort into the first game. Or at least give this game a throwback mode for the sake of the golden age of Anodia. I know the developers need to be able to make money, but please also put those resources toward your older and (in my opinion) better game
