All in all I couldn't get on with this game - The hit box for the fireballs and divine pillar was deceptively small, the upgrades did nothing to make it feel upgraded and were simultaneously way overpriced, the game appeared to rely on luck more than skill, and the constant shooting allowed no room for tactical defensive shots. Sad to say I found this a disappointing addition to the Nerdook repertoire, 2/5

Once again Nerdbook completely out do themselves. A perfect game with good music, great concept, and a great developer. 5/5

Overall good game, I like the randomness to the scarabs. I thought the golden scarabs really drew back on the game though, it would be more sensible if the upgrades didn't act as a downfall towards them. 4*. (Also, can't seem to get the last badge to register, something I'm not doing right?)

I found myself protecting sun kings so that I could get a high enough score >.> I don't think I should be punished for being too powerful.

I miss the whole Reaper and Mummy spam from the last game. I really hate the shooting system on this one and a new direction was probably not the way to go with a sequel.
That aside, the gameplay adds a certain level of frustration from lack of control, there isn't enough that a player can be doing to keep it fun and interesting. However the game design on the whole is as per usual Nerdook, even if it's a bit of a downgrade in gameplay.

First world cat god problems: so strong it defeats the sun kings so fast it doesn't have time to reach the gold scarab score

The cat in this game isn't the cat god. The cat in this game is the cat god's nephew. Opvious since he keeps disintegrating when every comes at once to kill him.

The original Cat God vs Sun King was mediocre at best, but at least it gave the player some degree of control over the outcome, providing an engaging spell system with a wide variety of manually triggered effects. Cat God vs Sun King 2 is dumbed down to the extreme, allowing the player to point and click and nothing else. The player can upgrade very few effects that will trigger at random, and some can actually work against the player by causing the victory condition to be met too quickly (never upgrade Firewall, or Emperor Offense 3). This game is categorically bad to the extent that it seems intentional, and as if that wasn't enough, it's also broken. It decided to stop correctly tracking the number of levels "completed", so now even having gold on all levels, beating the Epic Finale, and hearing the song, the song button remains locked and the Monarch Mow Down badge remains unawarded. I have 7 out of 9 "Levels Completed", and 2 were gold on the first try. Coincidence? 1/5.
