From GamesReviews:
“Sequels are sometimes better than the first game, but more often than not, sequels are worse. Dragon Fantasy The Black Tome of Ice is the second Dragon Fantasy game for the 3DS (its also available on Wii U but I didn’t review the Wii U version), with a third one already planned. Is The Black Tome of Ice better than the first game, as good as the first game, or did the developers drop the ball?”
