THE ESCAPISTS 2

In 2015, the gaming community greeted a prison escape simulator The Escapists. The main hero of this unusual project had to plan his way to freedom without alerting the police. Now there is also a sequel to this 2D RPG that boasts some new features and capabilities. Let’s see what has been added by developers to make the game even more fascinating!

Life in prison

First of all, the graphics was improved to look fresher and more appealing, with a lot of prison life details. After the implementation of a new engine, the characters stopped being just a bunch of pixels and acquired individuality. And not just because of the updated graphics! In The Escapists 2, players can choose from 300 customizable types. You can change your character’s hair and beard style and even select their gender.

The prison has its rules that you need to follow. You’ll have to attend the lunch room, do physical exercise, go to shower and look for a job. All those actions are strictly limited in time. To do everything as planned, don’t forget to check out the clock in the right upper corner of the screen. You’ll also have to communicate with your inmates. Characters that have a coin over them can sell you important items, while those with an exclamation coins will give you a quest. For instance, you’ll have to get a piece of soap or help somebody get a job. With time, you’ll gain some friends and discover the joy of visiting the library and the gym. Without working out, you won’t be able to carry and craft many things.

Crafting and fighting

Collecting resources and crafting items is an important part of the gaming process. If you look around carefully, you’ll find a lot of stuff that will help you in your escape mission. Such simple things as soap and socks can be combined into a wide range of instruments and even weapons. Stock up your stuff in a safe and don’t forget to check the safes of other players. However, your inventory is limited, so store only the stuff you really need.

The fighting system has also been revamped. Combat has become much more complicated, with ability to combine light and heavy attacks, move around your target and block the enemy’s hits. That gives you much broader opportunities when sorting things out in the prison yard.

Play together!

Planning an escape is easier with friends. For that purpose, the game has a multiplayer. You can join a game that’s already running or form your own band. Aside from cooperating, you can also compete with your buddies. Useful connections will be to the point in multilevel prisons with the latest security technologies and attentive guards. There are 10 new locations to escape from, including a train prison, tundra, jungle and open space. Multiplayer is available both locally and online. To participate in a game, you have to simply drop in and start acting according to the situation. In a similar way, you can drop out at any time. This is very convenient and you don’t have to way until a new game is created.

With updated graphics, avatar customization, new features and multiplayer, The Escapists 2 definitely deserves your attention! Prepare to spend hours glued to the screen and trying out different ways of gaining your freedom!

2 Minutes to Escape Game Play Instructions

How to Play

Make your way out of the rocket before it explodes in 2 minutes.

• Starting the Game
  • Press the red arrow on the white button to start the game. This will bring up the story prompt then start the game. There is a skip button in the upper right corner if you want to skip the story.
  • A button in the upper right corner allows you to turn sounds on or off.
  • You have 2 minutes to make it out of the rocket.
• Game Controls
  • Use your keyboard arrow keys to jump or move left or right.
  • Players using touchscreen devices can use the on-screen controls with the direction buttons being at the bottom left and the jump button being at the bottom right.
• Dying
  • In each mini-level you are given 3 heart containers. Any time you hit something with an electric charge or are shot you lose one of the 3 hearts.
  • If you lose 3 hearts inside a stage then you start inside that same stage again with full health, however the time that was used in the prior attempt counts against your 2 minutes.
  • When the 2 minute clock counts to zero it is game over and you start again at the first level.
• Strategy
  • Your main enemy in this game is time.
    • If you get hit early in a level in a way you should not and are unlikely to make it through that level with the remaining health then intentionally dying out as fast as possible is a great strategy for preserving time.
    • It is quickly to move quickly through the first half dozen or so easy levels as levels get significantly more difficult as you get through the game.
  • To make it through each level you need to still have health left while activating the door switch to open it and pass through the door.
    • Quite often when you are hit in later levels your character gets stunted. This can lead to a cascading wave of hits as some of the red platforms you jump on temporarily disappear quickly after being stepped on.
    • To get around these cascading waves of doom it helps to jump arbitrarily near the beginning of the level to have the first laser shoot astray and then time the remainder of your jumps in a fast sequence.
  • Specific level advice
    • On level 11 fall onto the first platform rather than jumping on it. When you get on the final red platform immediately jump in the opposite direction.
    • On level 12 – the hallway level with vertical shocks – wait until you see where they are and time moving between them. A single hit kills you and they move at different speeds. On the final one be sure you are right next to it before trying to pass through it as
    • The last level is brutally difficult with 5 required jumps on disappearing platforms, a jump on an electrified platform, and 3 shooting lasers.
    • While the game is short, the difficulty of the last 3 levels (especially the final level) really gives this game an 8-bit NES feel.
