The game is really nice, I don't mind dialogues (maybe because I'm not native english speaker myself), the lack of tooltips/any kind of information what does upgrading gems do apart from raising range is a bigger problem, but the way critters start to behave when the game starts to lag (pretty frequently on my old comp here) is not even funny.
3/5 from me now, after that huge bug is corrected I'll change it to 5/5 (as I really liked the game).
It's not a bug that you can hit yourself - it helps with sleep effect sometimes (make Emela hit a sleeping character).
Too much talking? Come on people, it's an RPG, this genre is about talking as well! (besides combat, levelling up characters, buying new stuff and so on). It's called a plot you know - for me it's one of the most important thing in RPGs and the creator did a good job there.
For me (owner of a low-end machine) Mardek 2 lags bad... I wonder if there's anything that could be turned off to speed things up a bit (I mean as an option in ch.3).
Boring and repetitive - I played only the ultimate survival, but I'm not going to try other modes. After a while it's hard to see enemies in that colorful mess. My first 1/5
