Fantasy Zone sequel with an enriched structure and even more extravagant bosses. More generous in content than the first. The pastel visual poetry remains intact. An excellent atypical shooter.

"From the very first seconds"
The sequel enriches the pastel formula with a system of parallel worlds and better-thought-out shops, while keeping its tangy charm. Exploring freely, finding the right weapon and facing oversized bosses delivers a pleasure as sweet as it is addictive. Deeper without losing any whimsy, an adorable shooter that rewards curiosity as much as skill.
