Breathedge 2 is an action adventure game with RPG and survival elements, and a sequel to 2021's warmly received Breathedge. It was developed by RedRuins Softworks, the same studio as the original game.

Plot

Breathedge 2 stars the same protagonist and takes place in the same retrofuturistic universe as the first game. This time, the hero must face an exceptionally challenging and threatening task, that being destroying the titular corporation. He's not alone on his quest, as he's accompanied by allies and an immortal chicken.

Mechanics

Breathedge 2 is a first-person game (FPP). It's set in a vast world consisting of multiple planets. Maps are wide-open, differing in terms of appearance, fauna and flora. We can traverse the planets on foot or in vehicles, while space can be traversed in spaceships.

The game revolves around completing quests while being hindered by numerous, diverse enemies. These can be dealt with using a diverse roster of retrofuturistic weaponry. The game also retains the original's survival elements and its expansive crafting system. Acquired resources can be spent on creating useful (sometimes) gear and upgrading our mothership.

Speaking of the ship, it serves both as our means of transportation and as our base of operations, which can be upgraded and decorated to our liking. There are also crewmates aboard whom we must interact with to gain their support in times of need.

Technical aspects

Breathedge 2 features high-quality visuals. The game retains its predecessor's colorful, appealing artstyle.
