Late to the party review.
So, what can be said about this game has been said already. It's a really competent, consistently fun 50 floor needle game with some easy boss breaks. Bosses during needle often have a pretty bad reputation for good reason, but the generous HP makes them feel like a casual break than a commitment.
The needle is really good and for the most part focused on shortish saves, about 3ish per screen on average. Stage 5 however is a massive difficulty spike... outside of a couple saves that are just randomly super easy. Like one save in the last screen was just bizarre. Might have overnerfed things a bit in some places. But stage 5 did more than double my death count, so it has to be said regardless.
Either way. Great needle game. Good stuff.

A 50 floor needle game using the visuals of the associated stages in Cultured 2. It also adapts and reimages the bosses with drawn visuals, though relative to their counterparts they're pretty easy as you have something like 10 hp for all them, so its really just about the needle. There's minimal gimmick usage, so its mostly pure needle the whole way through.
The design is pretty solid, especially in the earlier stages. It generally focuses on somewhat shorter saves, with pretty much every screen having atleast 3. Unfortunately, and this is probably the weak point of the game, later on this means that in order to keep the difficulty rising some of the later parts get kinda meh. There's a fair bit of repeated formations and a ton of annoyingly precise setup jumps. Still, there's a lot of good parts in the later stages, and the earlier parts flow very well.
Its a very good needle game that starts fairly reasonable (maybe 40ish) and ends up in the 75 range, so consider accordingly for your skill level. Its recommended if that feels like the difficulty range you're looking for though, as the majority of the needle is good and the bosses are a nice touch and pace change-up.

Really enjoyable Crimson-Inspired Needle Game featuring Screens from the famous C2. The Bosses in this Game were a brilliant throwback to the Original Cultured and over all it was just a pleasure to play!

Fun 50 floor needle game with visuals taken from the rooms of the first five stages in cultured 2. Starts off pretty easy but gets pretty challenging at the end. There were a few rough spots in the difficulty curve but overall it was alright. Each stage ends in a memeified version of the corresponding c2 boss. Aside from a few spots, I had a good time, would recommend.

Crimsoned 2 is a very solid 50-floor needle game, using the visuals/flow of Cultured 2 alongside Piece's creative needle style making for a pretty challenging but enjoyable experience.
Throughout the 50 floors, there's a very noticeable difficulty increase which feels mostly well done, with only a few sore spots in difficulty being noticeable. The needle stays mostly vanilla although there's the odd usage of vines, water and perhaps some other traditional gimmicks on rare occasions. A couple parts near the start of stage 5 feel a bit bumpy in comparison to the end of the stage, which seems to have been caused by nerfing some early-version hard spots. It never felt designed in an unpleasant or unfun sort of way, so I enjoyed it regardless.
Despite each screen making use of a background/tileset from Cultured 2, the actual needle doesn't appear to be influenced with perhaps the exception of a couple screens here and there. It would've been cool to see things like the SSR2 screen have Rukito-esque triggers or the Forehead screen have the jump-changers, although that would stray away from a needle game and moreso a custom-medley-of-sorts, but it's an interesting what-if.
Each stage is also capped off with the appropriate boss from Cultured 2, only with HP. They make for a nice break and the HP ensures you won't be stumped for too long. Oh, and the boss visuals (and all screen titlecards) are custom-drawn by Piece which is a pretty cool addition. I imagine a fair amount of time went into Crimsoned-ifying all the graphics and it just makes for a nice finishing touch.
Overall a solid needle game that definitely picks up the challenge towards the end. Would recommend.
