Freedom Planet 2
Freedom Planet 2 is a fast-paced platforming game and a sequel to the original Freedom Planet. In it, players will guide Lilac, Carol, Milla, and Neera through Avalice. Players will use each character’s strengths to protect the area’s animal inhabitants. Gameplay-wise, players will traverse through numerous levels, defeating enemies, discovering secrets, and interacting with the world’s NPCs as they go.
The game features a classic mode that allows players to access stages and critical features more easily after completing adventure mode. Also, the game offers a challenge mode, an Auto Guard option to parry enemy attacks easier, a new Revival system, and various customization options to enhance each character’s aspects.
Here’s the official synopsis from GalaxyTrail and Xseed Games:
Return to the vibrant world of Avalice to battle an ancient threat in the long-awaited sequel to the surprise indie action-platformer hit, Freedom Planet. In the years since the events of the original game, our three heroines have refined their signature abilities, making them more formidable than ever before. Take advantage of Lilac’s speed with her Dragon Boost, reach new heights with Carol’s Jump Disc or motorcycle, or take a more measured approach with Milla’s shield. And all-new playable character Neera won’t be left out in the cold, as she can use her powerful Frost Arts to punish foes. Like its predecessor, this high-speed platforming adventure delivers exhilarating momentum-based action, but advances the formula with new gameplay systems and enhancements.
With 24 expertly designed stages, an ambitiously expanded Adventure mode, retro-but-refined 2D visuals, and the addition of the highly requested Boss Rush mode, Freedom Planet 2 is the indie darling grown up to become a true platforming power.
