Utawarerumono: ZAN 2

Utawarerumono: ZAN 2, as a spin-off to Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth, manages to capitalize on what its preceding game did well and introduce improvements for replayability. It manages to be a relatively strong Musou-style title despite its obvious dependence on the Utawarerumono IP, providing fun and interesting gameplay while satisfying fan demand for new content. While the newly introduced progression system isn’t exactly free of flaws, the decision to introduce new concepts to the existing Utawarerumono RPG style makes for a refreshingly new experience for the game's main target audience, which are players that were already fans of the series beforehand.
