In its renowned sequel, Fear & Hunger 2: Terminus maintains the foundations that defined the success of its predecessor, but now enhances the experience through improvements in gameplay, map design, mechanics, and characters.

The story presents a completely different proposition, where 14 characters are forced to participate in a macabre Death Game to achieve their individual goals. The plot remains well-written/complex, and its difficulty continues with the challenging level that characterizes it, as it is not a simple, let alone an easy game. Progression is built through trial and error until the player becomes accustomed to the dynamics of the objectives to be completed, thus the game continues to playfully disregard the player, being intentionally cruel and stressful.

Its oppressive atmosphere creates an immersive experience for those seeking a game outside the so-called traditional standards, even though it may not please everyone due to the more graphic themes and content presented.

The compelling characters are part of the game's greater essence, each with a unique story, attractive personalities, notable charisma, and sensational interactions with each other.

Fear & Hunger Terminus does an excellent job of combining elements of horror, turn-based RPGs, and survival in its grotesque style. Although it still has some technical issues, such as general bugs, the fact that it doesn't crash on its own like the previous one is already a major differentiator.

For me, this second game has solidified its place as one of the best titles on RPG Maker, by far my favorite on the platform.
