This sequel alters the gameplay of its predecessor by allowing you to control the witch and the hero simultaneously with the circle pad and face buttons. This dramatically increases the skill ceiling, which was extremely low in the first game. Thanks to this heightened skill ceiling, as well as the absence of the colossal difficulty spikes from the first game, grinding isn’t really required anymore. On paper these are good changes, but I found myself not enjoying this game as much as the first because the controls felt a little awkward and the increased complexity downplays the simplicity of the gameplay, which is what I found to be the strongest aspect of the first game. Playing this definitely wasn’t a bad time, and the game is very short so it doesn’t overstay its welcome. It might be worth checking out if you like the original.
