Genuine Question About Archero 1 vs 2

Hey all. So I played Archero on and off since its release back in the day. The sequel I gave it a shot and I like a lot of what it has to offer slightly more. The abilities feel useful, you could go an all circle build or an all spirits build and they actually feel good. I also enjoy that the stages are actually different. Some are like the original game of clearing 50 floors, some are time based, some are wave based, etc. it just feels like there’s more variety in the gameplay loop while also allowing for a variety of in game builds that are actually viable. Plus, I haven’t spent a dime and I have all gold equipment already which makes it feel more f2p friendly. Why does nobody seem to care about the sequel? Am I missing something here?
