This is a 100 floor adventure, and unfortunately suffers from the same issues a lot of these 100 floor adventure games do. To this game's credit there's some cute things about it, it has it's own vibe and sense of humor and the bosses are pretty decent, if unremarkable. The main downside is the majority of this game is spent on really boring platforming, even by the end game it's never interesting save for a few screens at best. Plus there's way too many traps, it's definitely the aspect where this game shows it's age the most because these traps are super bland. It's not offensively bad but it's quite lacking in a lot of key areas.

This review is based on a 100% clear
Discord Makers 2 is one of the most prolific and hardest needle collabs out there, with 16 stages, technically 25 if you go for 100%, spread out across a variety of mostly Korean makers. If you just play the game casually and do what catches your eye, then there’s some nice things here, such as stages from Lucien, Biogom, Shinobu, and a few others. When you delve deep though, you’ll find some of the more dubious parts of the game, both in difficulty and quality.
One of the biggest things to note about this game is that compared to it’s predecessor, there’s a lot less variety. In DM1 there’s a ton of really wacky and unorthodox stages which feel entirely different from each other, and have totally different vibes and feels. In DM2 you get a lot less of that, and the biggest reason why is this game’s difficulty balance is basically nonexistent. A lot of the stages in this game are precision needle, those being SinKun, Lie, PowerNao, Cosowl, and if you do extra, Noah and Leehe. Most of these are also very hard and will take you a long time, compared to the other stages, because a lot of the stages in this game which aren’t precision needle are much easier compared to the rest, which I think is quite the downgrade from the first game, where even if it wasn’t all good, there was a good mix of hard stages across a lot of different types of needle. I’m not saying all the precision needle in DM2 is bad, I do hate some of it, particularly EX PowerNao, but I think EX Noah and Leehe are cool, but I do think that the game has a pretty major issue with balancing and makes it feel like there’s less variety than there is on paper. The major exceptions to this rule are Rukito, EX Kamilia, EX Whiteshadow, and EX Rkdehdtls, and despite issues I do like those areas, except for Rkd but it’s still somewhat enjoyable and far from the worst thing in the game. It’s hard to have a good fix for this, as if you buffed some of these other areas to be equal in difficulty to something like Cosowl’s stage, you’d run into issues, you can’t just buff something and have it be just as fun and quality without putting conscious effort into it, but it would have been cool to have more variety in where the difficulty comes from, so you spend less time which just one type of needle in what should be a big, varied collab game.
Discord Makers 2 is to me, a fun game, and one that’s worth checking out if you are skilled enough to handle it. However, I think this game does not live up to it’s fullest potential. I think with a lot more polish to the weaker points, especially stages like Cosowl and PowerNao which are made by relatively inexperienced makers, and better balance so that the game isn’t defined by just a handful of stages, the game would be a lot better in my opinion. I think it would be cool to see a needle collab as hard as this handled with more care to be something that I could say is truly a great game, although that’s obviously a very difficult feat. I can at least respect and appreciate this game for what it is, while wishing it was a more quality package that I could say is a truly great game, unfortunately that’s just not reality.

Very smooth game both visually and also gameplay wise, there's a great sense of flow which basically never gets broken making for a very fun and fluid experience, and there's a lot of neat stages and ideas throughout the game. There's some really good theming as well which makes the game stand out that much more, especially with how it ends. There's not really any bad parts to this game for me, it's just all quality and it's really enjoyable. Play it!

Super cool game with a tiny platforming bit before a really cool three phase boss with checkpoints. I've never played Mega Man Battle Network but the mechanics of this boss are super cool and fun to deal with, particularly in phase 3 as the first two are pretty easy. There's a big learning curve but it gets consistent and readable and stays super intense and fun. The only complaint is that some of the RNG can be a little tilting at times, I wouldn't say it's unfair but it can suck getting owned by some really rough stuff, although usually the annoyance goes away 5 seconds into the next attempt, because of just how intense this fight is. Great stuff, recommend more people try it!

Cute little game, it's very clearly thrown together in a short amount of time but overall it's pretty fun. The stuff by wolfie and skull is probably the best bits, but there's nothing bad here. Short but sweet.
