Dark Cloud 2 on PS4 - Gameplay Overview

Griffin's favorite PlayStation 2 game of all time is now available on PlayStation 4, but how well does Dark Cloud 2 hold up 13 years later? I breezed through the game using Maxs lazer guns. I completely ignored Monica, gave all powerups to Max. Any time a sealed level came up, I paid for the seal breaker every time. In chapter 8, I would kill most enemies in like 2-3 shots. Was fun. I think the only time you are forced to use Monica is like, for less than a minute in Chapter 3, and for like one fight in chapter 5. I think I just beat Gaspard with the lizard slicer that you get from 100% georama in starlight canyon. Or I mightve beaten him items, cant remember.
Monica sux, her bracelets are annoying to use, and theres no benefit from pimping out both Max and Monica, just Max. I had the Supernova completely maxed out by chapter 8. 500attack, and 250 for all elementals, I believe it was, and all positive coin attributes on it like lifesteal and wealth.
I recommend beating the game this way, on a second playthrough or something. Youre completely rich most of the game from selling Monicas stuff and Maxs wrenches/hammers. GUN OP. Do it.\r\n

Anyone that-s never played this on PS2 that-s skeptical about getting it on PS4, DO IT. I-m 11 hours in and it-s been absolutely WELL worth the $15. I honestly don-t know how this game was made in 2003. Most games we have nowadays don-t even come close to the charm or addiction factor of this game. There-s something about it that just keeps me playing. The story, the gameplay, the weapon upgrade system, the environment. It-s all I-ve played for the past 3 days. So to sum it up, coming from an unbiased and non nostalgic opinion, this game is definitely a must play.

Playing all these old school games from my childhood; DC1&2, rouge galaxy (not just level 5 games lol, .hack sign, etc. It shocks me how much game content we got on all projects back in the day for just the standard retail price. Nowadays we have to spend the 60/70$ and then purchase 3 20$ dlc-s to get even 1/2 the amount of content. Such a shame the way the gaming industry has gone: (

One of my absolute favourite games of all time. We never got Dark Cloud 1 in Europe so this game is called Dark Chronicle over here. I still have the disc in the box, not a scratch on it. Easily 100+ hours of gaming, probably twice that if you go for 100%. There's so so so much to do in this game but it never feels overwhelming either. Definitely one to buy on PS4

Clumsy. CLUMSY!
Darkcloud 1 wasnt bad about managing characters since it didnt effect much in your inventory because it organized weapons by character in its own menu unlike 2. Plus you really (if you're like me) just played as Toan and Xiao and just farmed everyone elses weapons lol Love both games to death though. Prob buy this now thx guys >; 3

FF7 Crisis Core: I see you're trying to make a cool Anime game - mind if we steal your idea but just use skills and magic instead?
Dark Cloud 2: That's pretty lame but sure.
Kingdom Hearts: UGH! Final Fantasy RPGs are disgustingly slow - no-one wants to play RPGs anymore. LET'S STEAL IDEAS FROM CRISIS CORE!
Dark Cloud 2: .Am I a joke to you?

As someone who loves this game, I feel like I can say this: Griffin said the only bad part is some artifacting, but he did not mention the sometimes-terrible voice acting. Take a look at king mardan and Dr Jamming, think what they sound like, and then listen to them in a cut-scene. Hehe (otherwise, this game was my childhood)

Absolute favorite ps2 game. Even now, which is 19 years later, I still go back and replay it every now and again. The dialogue is terrible, there's a lot of errors in the captions, and even a swapped dialogue scene that made it into the final product. Despite all that its still one of my absolute favorites.

this is the first game i bought like 10 years ago when i first have ps 2 and when i was a kid i got stuck so easily - but as years gone by i know how to play it and let me tell you this is the best game in ps 2 there is. never got over this. so many things to do and love every second of it.
reply

I played it the first time with my dad when I was like 6 or 7; now I'm 22 (going on 23) and I could convince my boyfriend to play this game (which is interesting since he isn't into ps games so much, but by now he seems to like it)
sadly it isn't that popular in germany.

I had this game in japanese version but I don-t understand japanese lol. I was stuck at the train station town and couldn-t finish the game(not even at 20% I think. I wasted a lot of time taking pictures and trying to invent random things.

Maybe I like the setting and architecture in other games like Gurumin, Recettear, Chantelise and Fortune Summoners because they remind me of the town of Palm Brinks in Dark Chronicle. I also see that style in the anime Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka.
reply

I prefer the first (I completed the first on 9 files with over 100 hours on each) I kinda hate this one because I did complete once but I felt more with the first. The only thing I like on this is the robot Steve, a take on the slingshot.
reply

To anyone who picks this game up, good game but heres a tip- be sure to take a picture of all bosses special attacks they are used for endgame gear crafting,
Yes i realize this is odd its probably supposed to push a new playthrough

reply

The crafting is very awesome and from what I remember has no cap at the end of the game in that you can keep breaking down and upgrading parts with no stat cap to the point that you can one-shot everything. And I like that
reply

I love this game. Spent endless hours on this and got lost in this beautiful world when I was in school. The rainbow butterfly boss scene and fight was so amazing my jaw was on the floor after that fight -
reply

Sony needs to stop being a prick and let level 5 studios make a dark cloud 3. Id pay anything to play an old style game like this but wit modern grafics. Look at ff7, it was a success on ps4,
reply

PSN has this game on sale today for $7 saw the video checked the comments alot of people saying they liked it and saying it's amazing and I brought it today played it liked it so far!
reply

Did you know the duck guy store owner not sure of his name but he also appears in viva pinata also as a store owner it was crazy when I put the two together.
reply

Maaaaaaan back when you could grind a game for 1000s of hours with no DLC or any real content just for the gameplay loop and for the sake of progression
reply

I wasn't too fond of the first Dark Cloud. The ideas was GREAT, but the gameplay was damn near impossible. Got stuck on the first boss.
reply

This game is my actual childhood, everytime I have a hard day or month, I load up my ps2, pop in dc2 and enjoy butterfly woods music
reply

Everyone's flipping out in the comments over what Griffin said at 0: 34 but it was absolutely a joke and Nick took it as one.
reply

I'm still wondering how many players know the attack attack block combo? Helps with the Monica only stages in during the beginning
reply

Dude Nostaliga; -; this game was in my easter basket when i was like 10 and the music just feels like. home.
reply

Just heard heard this game! A JRLG I might actually like (and that's just because the action combat system)
reply

God, Dark Cloud 2. I put over 400 hours into this game.
And didn't even finish it. What an amazing game.

reply

I never played Dark Cloud 2, but from what I understand now it sounds like the original Dr. Stone lol
