This game is engaging and an upgrade from the first in every way, I really enjoy the vibe of the Meowzy series where the game switches settings so quickly and always keeps things interesting and engaging. I have finished Meowzy 2 once so far (although like the first game I can see myself replaying it a surprising amount of times to get rpgmaker inspiration whenever I need it) and I would definitely be down to play it again. Solid game all around and the only significant complaint is the amount of random instakills in the overworld (such as the horses outside of the cowboy town) but Meowzy has always done that.
Overall this game is a solid 4.5 stars, I backed this game on kickstarter and did not regret it at all it was certainly worth the investment.
