Wanna be a hero

As a part of the IGN Summer season of Gaming, Overseas Gnomes has introduced the follow-up to their 2021 critically acclaimed rhythm RPG, Everhood 2.

In Everhood 2, you’ll play as a misplaced soul. You’re recruited by a Raven, who I suppose has your voice. You journey between worlds, meet folks, and battle others.
Everhood was distinctive for having a Guitar Hero-inspired battle system, which is definitely higher than that salad of a sentence makes it sound. Every of the characters you fought had their very own distinctive music that made every battle really feel distinct. It helped that the music was fairly strong. That might be returning and expanded.

Damaged phosphor layer

Additionally returning is the off-kilter neon artwork model that appears like Earthbound performed on a CRT with a damaged phosphor layer. It nonetheless seems fairly good, however I… I’m distracted by the protagonist’s angular butt. They flip barely, and there it’s: a geometrically angular butt, full with crack proper down the center. Do you see it?

“Releasing Everhood in 2021 modified our lives, and we’re getting ready to share an even bigger and stranger world with everybody,” stated Chris Nordgren, co-founder of Overseas Gnomes. “We’re aiming to make a super-polished expertise for newcomers, however for followers of the unique…we’ve obtained loads of mysteries so that you can uncover.”
Everhood was well-reviewed again in 2021 by everybody however me, Destructoid’s favourite curmudgeon. It was principally attributable to technical points (which will have been mounted by now), textual content errors, and what I perceived as a significant narrative situation. What situation? Telling you’d give away many of the plot, and I’m a coward, so I received’t.

Nevertheless, I didn’t dislike Everhood. I wouldn’t say my evaluate was destructive, simply that I wasn’t as ecstatic about is as another critics. I can simply consider that the issues I discovered might be solely addressed in a sequel. I’m very all in favour of attempting it out.

Everhood 2 is coming to PC and Change in… 2025. Wow, that’s a very cheap timeframe, but it surely feels up to now out. I can’t suppose that far forward.
