Janosik 2 is a continuation of the story put in motion by the first game. The famed Slovakian highlander and robber Janosik just finished a quest to rescue his comrades and is now on the path to defeat even more enemies – both mythical and historical. This time around, it’s not the band of brothers that’s missing, but rather Janosik himself. Caught with an ingenious ruse, our hero must rescue himself, his beloved and make new friends on the way.
Accompany Highlander Janosik, Bogdan the Werewolf, and a cloak-wrapped Vampire Hugo on a rescue mission to save Janka, who was captured by evil Baron de Blonde. Trek through dense mountain forests that are home to feral dogs, headless skeletons, and more, all bent on making your life harder. Bear in mind though, that there might be something even more sinister waiting for you at the end of the journey...
Much bigger levels filled to the brink with new characters, enemies and environmental threats, and traversal options.
Four playable characters with unique abilities that complement each other, making the gameplay more fun and diverse
Lightning-quick reflexes, good muscle memory, and thinking two steps ahead will sadly - not be enough to finish Janosik in one sitting. But at least the checkpoints are plentiful and restarts - instantaneous
A highlander, a vampire, and a werewolf enter a dungeon... and emerge - hopefully - with the Highlander's rescued bride while meeting, fighting, and defeating everyone and everything that stands in your way
Enjoy the short breaks in an exhilarating experience by admiring the cutscenes that signify important events of Janosik, beautifully presented in all their full, 100+colors, hand-drawn, and animated glory. You will never skip a cutscene featuring a mountable sheep again
Did we mention 3 different endings? Choices and actions made throughout your journey will shape the fate of Janosik and his companions.
