Mechanics

In Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy, the action is shown from the top-down perspective. During the game, players travel through a vast world that is designed to look alive. It consists of dense forests, picturesque valleys, mountain peaks, and claustrophobic basements. In each of these places there are dangers in the form of hostile people and aggressive beasts. Combined with the fact that permadeath mechanics have been implemented in this production, it makes it necessary to prepare for each expedition. However, as players progress, the combat potential of their character grows, and with better equipment they can face increasing threats over time.

The game world is generated procedurally, so after each start of the adventure one can see its different "incarnation". On the other hand, there is nothing to prevent the protagonist from continuing to play in the land visited previously after his death. However, such solution brings with it both numerous advantages and disadvantages. While this allows players to know at the very beginning of a new adventure which places to go and which ones to avoid, and where to find useful weapons, they have to face the consequences of their actions. For example, if they do not help inhabitants of a village that is plagued by a pack of hungry wolves, this village may fall into a complete ruin, and players are going to deprive themselves of the possibility of trade with inhabitants of this village, who escaped in panic or were eaten by aggressive animals.

Technical aspects

Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy has colourful, cartoon-style visuals that give players the impression of looking at moving images. The visual layer is complemented by a ear-catching soundtrack adjusted to the events on the screen.
