Everhood 2

Everhood 2 is a sequel of the highly rated, musical retro RPG, full of arcade challenges and crazy plot twists. The independent company Foreign Gnomes is behind developing and publishing the game, also responsible for the production of the first part of the series.

Plot

In the game we embody a color-changing soul, delving into the secrets of a vast, unfriendly land. Its journey is accompanied by a heavenly Raven, who promises to restore the voice of the main character, provided that they first destroy the powerful Mind Dragon.

Mechanics

In terms of gameplay, the sequel is an improved version of the original. We once again delve into a complex world straight from old-school RPGs, the main objectives of which are exploration, interacting with numerous NPCs and conducting musical battles that test our agility and concentration level.

Everhood 2 also introduces more advanced combat sequences, similar to the bullet hell scenes. The main character once again competes with a single opponent who uses a series of attacks in an isolated space. Enemy attacks vary in form and creativity, requiring more thoughtful dodges from the player. The difference is also noticeable in the fighting style of our protagonist, who can now determine the color of their soul.

The player has a choice of three different colors (blue, red, and green), moreover, during the confrontation, he uses both his abilities and the available arsenal and talismans. Each weapon deals a certain amount of damage, but its power can be increased by using special Weapon Tokens. The main character develops higher skill level by continuing to participate in new battles.

Technical aspects

The second part of Everhood retained the pixel art style of the original, however, it introduced some improvements and diversifications, including more explicit references to Japanese animation. The game also contains over 100 songs composed by artists such as Cazok and KM_EXP. Just like in the first game, there's support for a Custom Battle Editor.
