Catacomb 2

Catacomb 2 description

So we walked through the dark catacombs in the first part, now we have to do it a second time, but now our journey will last longer than last time: we will have to overcome as much as 30 levels. This time we literally go through all the circles of hell. On our way to meet all the same monsters in very large quantities, including a new ultra-fast werewolf.

The difficulty level dramatically rose. That first part would be madness, for the second and for example, in one level you will have to wait for 13 "copies" of the main boss from the first part. But despite this, health potions we still enough, the main thing - to have time to drink them in time.

The number of puzzles has increased to pass to the next level, you do not just have to go back to the previous one. Secrets became too much, and now they no longer count. Appeared blow up walls that are clearing the path for you. Graffiti has become larger, and now they're more funny. Finally, preservation, preserved, for example, at the end of, say, 4th level, and then downloading the game puts you in the very beginning. Graphics remained at the same level, and, to be honest, even today it looks nice.

As always, John Carmack knows his stuff - the artificial intelligence of opponents is great. You will not be able to hide from the gargoyles behind the wall - sooner or later it'll catch up to where you were.

The gameplay has not changed: we play for the same pale-faced, long-haired, fireball shooting wizard. Our main task, as in the last part are the search keys and output.

This game is great in all respects - despite its age, it is very exciting. I recommend it to everyone; this game needs to play everyone and see where you started your journey Carmack and ID Software in General.
