DG2 comes with a story campaign featuring 21 stunning maps, dynamic level movement, an expanded story and cast of characters, hundreds of challenge mode experiences, new multiplayer modes, a procedurally driven audio score and the ability for players to build their own levels. DG2 also introduces players to DG Architect, a level creation tool set connected to Steam Workshop where players can create their own unique levels to share and possibly even sell if selected. DG2 for the PC was funded in part by Dracogen, a private investor after a 2012 Kickstarter campaign funded the original game's DLC, Defense Grid: Containment. DG2 is developed by Hidden Path Entertainment and published by 505 Games. Less

Not enough fun and the extra modes are just monotonous
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version

This game falls far short of the original. It doesn't do enough new and feels extremely undercooked. Played through the main campaign on normal which was too easy and started replaying the campaign on hard which was too frustrating. The game is not balanced well, and the lack of real advancement makes it not much fun to replay. It's too bad that it falls this far short of the original.

Finished the main story of DG2 today. It isn't the most original game, but god what do I love this game. Trying to get gold on all main story missions now.
