Holding down the attack button will charge her currently equipped weapon, and then physically moving your controller to touch it will let you activate its special ability as the Reader.

Polyarc also factored weapon abilities into platforming too, giving Quill additional powers through alternative means. Armored shells and certain late-game bosses aside, combat doesn’t usually necessitate the use of one particular weapon or another, which provides a welcome flexibility that will suit different combat styles. As for the chakram, it offers a quick and light approach better suited for taking out weaker enemies in large numbers. Your hammer hits hard but is slow and unwieldy like many heavy weapons in other games. Previously, Quill only had a sword, but that returning weapon is joined by two new choices: a hammer and a chakram. There’s also an unfortunate creature known as a ripper, who the Reader can fling like a pinball directly.Ĭombat will be quite a familiar scene for anyone who played the original, but Polyarc has expanded Book 2 with a few new options. Book 2 expands the previous roster of mechanical beetle enemies with new foes, like an armored shell variant which can only be cracked open with a special weapon. You’ll frequently get interrupted by Arcane minions blocking our path, which Quill and the Reader will have to defeat in often drawn-out fight sequences. Of course, we all know it’s never that straightforward.

Yet in the end, it is you alone who can lift Quill up to save this world, and together, rise to legend.Quill’s goal is to find the glass shards she needs to stop Tylan, hopping her way through a ruined castle, a garden conservatory, arctic mountains, a steel foundry, and more to do so. The journey will be trying-filled with triumph and heartbreak alike-but new allies, old friends, and the very nature of the castle itself can offer help along the way. With her, you’ll venture deep inside the hexed castle of the Arcane where dangerous terrain, challenging puzzles, and enemies twisted in fire and steel await.

To stand a chance, Quill will need a true partner by her side-and we hope that partner is you. Those who seek to unmake this world are desperate for the Glass she holds, and they’ll stop at nothing to claw it from her grasp.īut the young hero has a plan of her own, one that could finally end the merciless rule of the Arcane and restore peace to Moss once more.
