Each costume (your team of three can each take one into battle) has both a strength and weakness to Monster, Tech and Magic type enemies. Things get a little bit more complex than that, but not a whole lot. A special meter that fills over time allows you to trigger the extra power of each costume, like the clown's group heal, Laughter is the Best Medicine. The twins do battle with Orel and his minions with the power of Halloween costumes which, inexplicably, transform them into a crook-wielding super mummy, a friendly robot and an explosive-quill tossing Thomas Jefferson.īattles are simple turn-based affairs: Timed button presses trigger each costume's basic attack and blocks their opponents' advances.
The time travel gimmick is a little tired at this point, but Double Fine scores some fun gags with it, like the kid in the past who's threatening to eat a piece of dirty candy he found on the floor who's replaced in the present by.
Or, rather, he will? Maybe?Ĭostume Quest 2 is a time travel story, one that shows not only the source of Orel's treachery, but the havoc it will eventually wreak. Well, technically, White already did outlaw candy and costumes. and not for the reasons you might be thinking. This time it's Orel White D.D.S., a dentist who wants to outlaw candy and costumes of any kind. Costume Quest 2 is a time travel storyįraternal twins Wren and Reynold return from their four-year hiatus and must once again save their sleepy neighborhood of Auburn Pines from a Trick-or-treat-related disaster. There are loads of Christmas TV specials, box offices are cluttered with horror flicks every October, but for whatever reason, games have never been keen to hitch their wagon to any specific holiday.Īs a vehicle for the magic of Halloween, Costume Quest 2 is, much like its predecessor, an unqualified success.
