If you’ve been impatiently waiting for the sequel to last year’s excellent puzzle platformer Furdemption (Free), you don’t have much longer to wait as the game is heading to the App Store on March 24th, just a couple of weeks from now. Hooray! You may have seen our previous coverage of Furdemption 2, but in case you haven’t heard, that’s not even the name of the game anymore. For reasons developer Raresloth pointed out on its blog last month, the game formerly known as Furdemption 2 is now known as King Rabbit. Check out the brand new launch trailer.
As you can see, King Rabbit isn’t straying too far from what made the original game so great. There are still lots of fiendishly designed levels to complete, but this time with new environments and lots of new traps to deal with. King Rabbit will also be 99¢ with no energy systems or life restrictions, though there will be optional IAP items like hints, a time-slowing special ability, and Diamonds, which unlock levels but can also be earned during normal play. I’m not crazy about the new name King Rabbit, and I feel like it’s a waste of all the equity built up in the Furdemption name thanks to the success of the first game, but naming aside I absolutely can’t wait for this next evolution of one of my favorite games of 2015.
Watched the video and Crusaders looks awesome!! Only problem is the video is only a smudge smaller than my 6+ screen and I couldn't read anything. The text is sooo tiny.
These games are soooo complicated. Huge learning curve. Pretty satisfying once you get into it, but a single game can take hours, if not days. They are likely going to be premium priced. I can't imagine them doing too well on mobile. But what do I know.
They are VERY long games - and I'm talking about days or even weeks for a single play through. However, they are immensely replayable: after you reunified Italy starting as Florence, you can try to create a commercial empire as Spain, or delve into the intrigues of the Holy Roman Empire states, or maybe go East and into feudal Japan...
And, yes, you can play only for a few minutes and save - which can be heartbreaking if England just declared war and you, as Scotland, are mobilizing... :D
Anyway, as an addicted to Paradox's current generation of PC/OSX games, I truly can't wait.
