This game follows suit with the derailment of storytelling that takes place at the end of Cold Steel 1. I still like this game and its character moments, and I enjoyed the premise of traveling around the game's world on the Courageous. The upbeat music and collection of students aboard the ship felt like I was on a fun adventure and i'm fond of it. But overall, this game really turns into the anime equivalent of schlock. Character motivations and dialogue are as corny as ever and the main story is just a total mess. I enjoyed this game, but I preferred the simpler times of Cold Steel 1.
