Fuga: Melodies of Steel returns with a direct sequel - apparently this will be a trilogy. I'm pretty happy that the game mechanics have not changed drastically. I apricate the Soul Cannon's auto triggering having a well defined timeline, even if I think the auto trigger is a bit of forced pressure. I still loved the tactics and strategy core of these games.

I thought friendship might affect some of the story beats, but in hindsight I might have been over thinking it. Having the extra goal of making all the children have a base level of friendship was a fun personal goal. Even if it was for nothing story wise. The goofy and adorable interactions remain a weirdly heartwarming section to a game while character are grieving or seething with rage. The developer did add some restrictions based on the emotional state of characters which is fitting.

The developers added the ability to check required upgrade material at trading ports, and I think abilities now list their cost in the menu fixing two of the biggest pain points I had with the first game's menuing. Fast tank mode was also added to the normal game mode! Now if they could make the higher level fishing rods not be an extremely rare drop...

This sequel is an excellent iterative improvement over the first game. I have no major issues, and very few minor gripes (mostly related to RNG). I look forward to playing the finale to this trilogy. I highly recommend both of the Fuga: Melodies of Steel game to all strategy or RPG fans.
