1st Impressions

Seed 2, the sequel to Chilingo’s Seed 1: Rise of Darkness, is exactly what you would expect from Chillinglo – the highest quality of graphics, sound, and game play. Having not played Seed 1, it will be difficult for me to do a comparison of the two, but I can tell you about the sequel.

Seed 2 is a classic very full featured top down RPG. you play the part of Litta and the story line takes approximately 5 years after her heroic adventures in Seed 1.

As with many of the top notch RPGs, Seed 2, allows you to upgrade your attributes as you go, givebacks you to gain enough strength, dexterity, etc. In addition you can choose a character path of swordplay, firearms, or magic.

Along the way you encounter NPCs (non player characters for you newbies) that will give you small quests to complete. Don’t ignore what might seem like distractions to your primary quest as these seemingly annoying side quests are where you can gain valuable experience points which will give you better odds when it comes to fighting those more powerful than you are.

One of the things that really impressed me about this game when compared to others of the same genre are the small thing that I have yet to experience in an iPhone RPG like the effect that weather changes will have on the game. While that might seem like a small thing, it is something that makes the game more realistic. Of course I have learned to expect nothing but the very best if Chillingo has put their name one it.

Seed 2 is currently available for $3.99 from the app store but, if think that price is a little high, keep an eye on it with with an app such as appshopper because you can occasionally catch it at half price like I did.
