good puzzle elements, still feels like an adventure despite it mainly being a resource puzzle, and nice eastern eggs

It's good and worth $5 for sure, but despite being dramatically longer and more loaded with gimmicks, it does feel less substantive than the first game. Magirune 1 was a VERY tightly designed game, and required some careful planning and likely a few attempts to optimize your path and survive for the true ending.
This game is much more open ended with multiple required and independent paths, and is much more generous with resources to the point that it's pretty brute forceable on the first run, even on Hard. I never really felt like I was on the edge of my supplies like I CONSTANTLY was in the first game. I never once ran out of keys or really ran low on them at all. The moment you can break barrels you get flooded with all the potions you'll ever need, even if you never do the sidequest that will just give you freebies if you run out. By the end of a Hard playthrough, I had almost 20 potions and a couple dozen keys left over that were only used on the final secret in the game. Compare to Magirune 1 which has very few spare keys at all, and an optimal run will literally have you down to your last few HP by the time you get the sword.
This is still a recommend, just be aware it's much more relaxed and far less of a puzzle to survive.

Clever puzzles, core mechanic used to its fullest, resource management, this game does right what it tries to deliver, nice dungeon crawler, but it can be slow at times, which can be frustrating, that doing backtrack over and over again can be tiresome and time draining.

Love the simplicity and then it gives much more with hidden areas. Wish it was longer because I enjoyed it so much

Nice if you like exploring pixel dungeons. There are a few puzzles, and maybe 3 of the sokobons were hard. I looked up an answer for one. But mostly it's fun exploring with moderate challenge.
Apparently this is a "Tower of the Sorcerer" clone, and the genre was huge in Japan. I'd never heard of it. So it's not entirely original but it's still done well.
