The plot follows on from the original game directly, and players can transfer levels and items over from their old White Knight Chronicles save file should they wish. Much like its predecessor, White Knight Chronicles 2 follows the story of Leonard, a young man who makes a pact with the ancient Incorruptus weapons to rescue a kidnapped princess. JRPG fans will get some enjoyment from the game, but others will likely find the experience a little too grating. By focusing on both however, the game is made weaker as an overall package and excels at neither component.
WKC2 offers some enjoyable moments in a bold frame that attempts to merge single and multiplayer modes into a cohesive whole.
Whilst White Knight Chronicles 2 fulfils both of these criteria, something about the whole experience just doesn’t sit well. I’ve always been fond of the humble JRPG and I equally enjoy ambitious games.
