NWR: If you haven't played any of Circle's Castle Conqueror games before, Heroes 2 may not be the best starting point. With little more than a brief introduction explaining the events that follow the last game, Heroes 2 launches you headfirst into challenge. Even in the very first practice mission, it is still way too easy to find yourself, bloodied and twitching, on the game over screen within a handful of turns.
"Through some established applications of its surrounding mechanics, Castle Conqueror Heroes 2 bears marks of a strategy game that, while not being well-buffed, has a certain conservative way about it. What refutes its keen qualities and strips it down to its true, stiff nature is the overall poor handling that's had a hold on this concept, assigning players to a place where they'll find themselves anxiously waiting for things to improve with a system that is being tugged on by unfriendly, even bad design." -- Wiiloveit.com
Castle Conquerer – Heroes 2 focuses on strategic gameplay, which is simple yet challenging at the best of times and downright brutal at others.
Nintendo Life: Just over one year ago CIRCLE released Castle Conqueror - Heroes for DSiWare. We weren't stingy with the praise in our review, awarding it a solid 9 out of 10 and holding it up as the strongest title in a very strong series. Now we've received a sequel, and we couldn't be happier.
