action
As in the previous game, the protagonist of the game is Knack. A kind of golem that scientist Doctor Vargas created from ancient relics to help humans fight off attacking goblins. Depending on the type of material recorded, for example ice, wood or metal relics, which are found in the game environment, Knack can change its physical structure and thus develop different abilities against enemies as well as change its size. The story of Knack 2 begins with the invasion of giant robots activated by an initially unknown enemy. In the course of the game, Knack, his human friend Lukas and other characters known from the first part are supposed to track down and defeat the perpetrator of the attack. The script was developed by the American author Marianne Krawczyk, who was previously responsible for the plot of the God of War series, among other things .
Gameplay
Cracking 2 is an action game with up beat 'em - and platformers Run -elements, in which the player controls the protagonist cracking by a number of linear level. Knack's repertoire of movements has been significantly increased compared to the first part and now includes 35 maneuvers. For example, enemies can be drawn in with a telescopic arm attack, opponents can be temporarily stunned with an energy lasso or a powerful punch can be executed. By collecting relic stones that are left behind by defeated enemies or that are found in the area, these skills are gradually unlocked. In addition, Knack can change its size and walk through narrow corridors as a tiny thing or cause a lot of damage as a giant. In addition to the battles against robots and goblins, the gameplay is loosened up with platformer passages and puzzles. The game can also be played in co-op mode , in which another player can join the action at any time, online or offline, and control a second, equal crack.
