Exploding Kittens® 2

Learning some new rules and at home we do have all the expansions out there… altough really stupid to have a bug each time I want to shuffle the deck… I have to leave the game and lose fish this way..

I love Exploding kittens!! When I heared they made a new game I was over the moon for it and pre ordered it immediatly. And now that I have played it I want to say the good and the bad about the game : The good : - animated cards!! - cute new avatar costumes! - more card sets to play with !!! - the visual graphics like when it explodes and the fire - the music is really cool. The bad : - sadly enough the cool characters with their own voicelines you could spam are gone now.. 🥲 I really do miss “Hi it’s me, Charles Darwin” because now it’s only a small emoji and that’s it honestly, nothing more - some of the sound effects are kinda not there like when a bomb explodes for 1 player, it’s just 1 card and if you look away it’s like nothing really happend, no sound cue unless it’s you that exploded. Then there is sound for it. - the 3D hand is kinda sluggish to control sometimes - no more character voicelines sounds - no sound effects for cards like they used to have - no sound effects for the timer that goes higher and higher to 100% -some players can really take their time - the card text for some of the cards are insanely large and also use weird words like Victim ? It’s kinda like the rules are spelled on the card that you would read in a rule booklet instead of it being short and snappy It’s more like the real card game but digital and kinda ditches some funny good points from the original game but also did some improvements on their own. Edit : and I just lost points because I was not allowed to draw a card or play a card after using the shuffle card… I had to leave while the game was just going further but I could do nothing :( edit : I can not connect to matches anymore and my progress is 0 again. Still the game glitches after playing shuffle sometimes where I am forced to leave.

Kaboom

Making a sequel instead of supporting the original game that also cost money was already a terrible movie. The artstyle is uninspiring and the animation feels cheap. The rounds feel so short and the cards lack the cohesion of the first game. The second game offers no benefit to the physical card game unlike the first one that allowed you to play cards that were impossible in real life. I really love this franchise but this game is not worth your money or time even if it was free.

It’s super easy and fun to play I find myself plays for hours

I am a big fan of the original, have bough every expansion and character pack. However this was overly monetized from the get go. Expansions available DAY ONE. Not only that the animations make it clunky and awkward to play. No more funny voice lines instead we get emoticons? I want to like it but I can’t it feels like an unnecessary cash crab all the way.

I bought this game hoping to play some different card which were not included in the original version. But instead I got bunch of unnecessary animation, very slow gameplay and some new kind of cloud registration you can’t play without. Don’t waste your money on this disappointment

I was so excited when I saw there was a new Exploding Kittens game available - I happily paid $5 and downloaded the game. Unfortunately, so far it’s only made me want to play the older version. The new animations are neat, but kind of sluggish even on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. The addition of Nope cards is fun, but the animation lag sometimes prevents you from actually using them. Also, if a player goes idle during a game, they get asked to answer if they are still there, but aren’t forced to make a move. This sometimes allows people to sit there not playing a move in hopes that others will give up and leave the game. Not fun. And the final thing that I find kind of annoying is the focus on additional micro transactions. I just bought the game for $5, it’s not really cool to ask me to pay $18 more to get an expansion now and two more sometime in the distant future. It’s weird that the expansions each cost more than the entire game itself, especially considering they only add a few additional cards. I’m not terribly impressed.

The deck is very small, games do not last long. When you draw an exploding kitten as the first card it isn't supposed to count, but on the app it does. The game is buggy as to be expected since it is two days old. I seriously hope the developers increase the deck size that is my man issue. Some of the added features are cool some are unnecessary and take up too much of the time. Also you are no longer able leave a game once you lose, you have to stay and watch, I hope this changes regardless your space will not change once you are out. This game has potential.
