Hylics 2 (2020)
The tyrant Gibby’s minions seek to reconstitute their long-presumed-annihilated master. It’s up to our crescent headed protagonist Wayne to assemble a crew and put a stop to that sort of thing. Features: -A mesmerizing visual style incorporating stop-motion animation, 3D-scanned clay models, and pixel art. -Engage in turn-based RPG combat against over 25 adversaries, each with unique capabilities and behaviors. -Gather Wayne's crew and explore 3D environments. Use air-dashing, rolling, and gliding to find hidden treasures or evade enemies. Consult the world's inhabitants for hints, lore, and musings. -Find TVs throughout the world to learn exciting new battle abilities like Poromer Bleb and Soul Crisper. -Optional side content including a diverting platformer minigame and a first-person-view dungeon-crawler. -The followup to 2015's Hylics. Hylics 2 uses motifs from its predecessor, but players unfamiliar with Hylics may still fully enjoy Hylics 2.
