I’ve played a bit of the original Wall World, after I managed to grab it in a bundle. You know how it goes: you get loads of new games, try them all out for a while, but not all of them can stick…
While I can’t claim to have played enough of Wall World to write up a review, I’ve seen more than enough to want to let you know about the first playtest for its upcoming sequel, which just started on PC (Win).
Wall World 2 is a vertically-inclined sci-fi platformer by Alawar. More specifically, it’s an action-roguelite set on a strange alien world where one minute you’re walking up and down a massive wall, and another you’re bombing around in tightly-packed cave systems.
Once again the trusty robospider of the original is back and ready for action, and once again you’re volunteering for a deadly duty as you burrow into a giant wall and fight whatever horrors you find there. And horrors you will find.
I could keep going, recycle the store listing for SEO bonus points, however, the trailer below gives a good account of the game. Watch that, and then head over to Wall World 2’s Steam page.
