Occasionally, Demon Gaze II can be a little fun and make you chuckle. And, while there is nothing especially wrong with the game, there really are not many highlights either. I wish could say more positive things about this game, but in all honesty, it's not one I would recommend for most JRPG fans.

Overview
Blessed by the sun and sea, One nation enjoys complete harmony - Asteria. Behind the facade of peace, exploitation of the people was rampant, and from their pain, the demons were born. Seeking to unmask the evil and create a revolution, one group of new Demon Gazers stood tall... they were known as the Revolutionist Party.

Overall, Demon Gaze II is still a strong and enjoyable dungeon crawler, albeit not without some flaws.
Demon Gaze II aims for purity in a dungeon crawler, and mostly captures the magic of its forebears. While the dungeons themselves are wholly uninteresting, and some may take exception to the "maintenance" mechanic, Demon Gaze II manages to be a fun, worthwhile experience.
Demon Gaze 2 is probably a nice time on the Vita. On the PS4 it is very much not so. It is the video game equivalent of eating junk food when you’re not hungry. If I run out of other games I will play it again. But for now I’m putting it down and picking another orphan of the PS Vita exodus.
Demon Gaze 2 is recommended to players that want to know the DRPG genre, however, fans of the original might be disappointed due to the simpler systems and the lack of challenges.
