Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden is moreorless identical in function to its franchise progenitor, The Isle Dragon Roars.
It's pretty much the same game. Mostly. All the mechanics are the same. The story is much better and the combat is a little deeper with a couple extra wrinkles to it. If you liked the first one, you'll like the second one even more.
But I didn't love some changes. It seems like the map is a little more closed off (more 'you can't go here' moments) and there are a lot more random encounters and events which can pull the game to a slogging crawl. I also ended up being significantly overleveled for a lot of encounters. I also felt the end of the game dragged much too much.
The better combat and better story though make up for it. A welcomed improvement over the first game. Makes me look forward to playing the third game in the series, but not excited enough to buy it at full price.
