Definitely a better and more fun experience than the previous entry.
While here still applies the "it shows its age", I found this game to be overall more enticing and polished. Even the dungeons I found to be more efficient and well structured, in a way that I needed very little help from guides. There's certainly a cool feeling about playing this type of older rpgs, not my cup of tea, but it's nice to see where many things come from.

That being said, Solomon Shrine really was a step down for me. I enjoyed the beginning of this final dungeon, but then it just gets going on and on, and at a certain point I was really tired of it. But hey, I liked and enjoyed the game overall!
