One of the underrated mobile classics of the last few years is finally set to receive its sequel with a release date now announced. Crashlands 2 will come in for a bumpy landing on April 10th, bringing more humorous survival action as you return to the comfortable purple shoes of Flux Dabes.
First, what is Crashlands? Well, imagine blending Starbound and Don't Starve together; that's Crashlands in a nutshell. This isometric survival RPG casts you as the space trucker Flux Dabes, who returns to the planet of Woanope to recover from a condition known as "celestial burnout".
As you might have guessed, things don't go according to plan, and soon you find yourself stranded on the planet's surface once more. You'll need to craft weapons and gadgets, build your home, and navigate a living planet that reacts to every move you make—even the silly ones.
Crashlands 2 is a significant revamp of the original in terms of both graphics and gameplay. You'll enjoy the survival RPG elements alongside a huge cast of characters to meet and interact with, including many familiar faces from the first Crashlands. The game features a living world teeming with flora and fauna to evade or eliminate, and a compelling story that unravels the mystery behind your latest crash landing. Additionally, you'll have the chance to collect pets, adding another layer of fun to your adventure.
One of the best features of Crashlands 2 is its cross-progression capability, allowing you to build your home-away-from-home on the go. The game will launch simultaneously on all platforms, ensuring you can continue your adventure seamlessly, whether you're visiting boring relatives or stuck in traffic. No matter where you are in the universe, your journey in Crashlands 2 can continue uninterrupted.
