Mugen Souls Z Critic Reviews

Mugen Souls Z represents a valiant effort and shows bounding improvements over its predecessor.

As much fun as it is to play, the sad irony of Mugen Souls Z is that it is best played by people who hadn't experienced the original, but the only people that could possibly be interested in the game must have played the original.

Mugen Souls Z is a fun RPG that doesn't try to be serious. As such, it leaves the storyline convoluted, messy, and boring to sit through. If you have the patience to get through it though, then the combat system, character customization and all the extra goodies more than make up for it.

Mugen Souls Z isn’t a great RPG, but it’s an entertaining one, and there’s enough meat on its bones to keep you playing for a good long while.

Mugen Souls Z is a good JRPG with interesting mechanics, a good combat system and a deep and entertaining character customization. Despite the graphics and the long story sequences, this is a good experience for gamers who like these kinds of products.

Mugen Souls Z is quit similar to its prequel and offers the same basic experience with sub-par visuals and overlong dialogues and cut-scenes. Plot is all over the place, but its unique and rather funny combat system keeps things engaging.

With adorable characters having wacky adventures in space, Mugen Souls Z's charm and the solid writing kept me motivated to zip through the storyline, and the fights are still a thrill... It's just too bad that the deadly-dull non-combat sections and the ending-ruining bug keep me from recommending the game wholeheartedly.

Go into it with your eyes open, and it may end up being a pretty fun experience.

Mugen Souls Z feels like a rehashed, more tedious version of its predecessor that wasn't really needed.

Just like many of the game's secondary characters, it will be difficult for most players to be convinced that experiencing Chou-Chou's charms is worth the attendant drudgery.

Mugen Souls Z does little to rock the boat, so fans of the original might be interested in revisiting this title, but anyone else will want to give it a pass.

If you’re into the anime style games and don’t mind trekking through a good amount of inconsequential dialog, it’s not a bad choice.

Mugen Souls Z boasts a lot of content and all the fan service you could want, the lack of challenge, the bad writing and the mediocre graphics drag it down. Only for fans.

Improves upon the original in only minor ways, is still repetitive and reliant on you ignoring its unpolished nature, because bewbs.

Nevertheless, for anyone who enjoyed the first game Mugen Souls Z is more of the same, slightly refined and smartened up. For those accustomed to big-budget JRPGs – Ni No Kuni, Tales of Xillia – it definitely looks like a budget title and will underwhelm.

Mugen Souls Z feels like more of its predecessor, with the same plodding story pace, whiny, forgettable cast, and fill-in-the-action cutscenes.

It improves certain aspects of the original game, but still, some basic elements like gameplay and plot don't seem to work as they should.

As a tactical roleplaying game it serves its purpose, but when it comes to details in storytelling or game mechanics it becomes monotonous rather quickly.

Fans will no doubt appreciate the new gameplay features but, as a whole, Mugen Souls Z feels too exclusive a game, even for a sequel. Its niche narrative focus and penchant for superficiality make it a hard sell for newcomers.

Mugen Souls Z is, on the surface, a shallow but agreeable JRPG that hides a deeper, heavier set of systems for genre fans that care to search for them.
