New details regarding Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW! have surfaced from a Polygon report. Read on below for the latest on the game.
– Same team behind last year’s Adventure Time game
– New storyline with 3D design
– Over 100 dungeons to explore
– 4-player co-op
– Much bigger than last year’s game
– More complex as well
– Story involves Candy Kingdom and a secret royal dungeon that Princess Bubblegum uses to hide the worst creatures from the Land of Ooo
– When these creatures start to break out of the dungeon, she calls upon Jake and Finn to venture into its depths to find out why and how they are escaping
– Play as different Adventure Time characters
– Press demo allows you to play as Jake, Finn, Marceline and Cinnamon Bun
– More characters will be revealed later
– Each player can use a character that has different stats and powers, all of which can be tweaked through game tokens
– “Where the first game was strictly a side-scrolling adventure game with a top-down mini-map, kind of like a Zelda 2, this is more of a top-down three-quarter perspective Diablo/Gauntlet-style game. But instead of having this super hardcore 100 hour RPG where you have to min-max everything, we just wanted it to be fun. We also wanted it to have enough meat there so if you were that type of gamer, you could still play it and have the fun you want.” – producer Aaron Blean
– Cinnamon Bun is a kind of tank character who can take more damage, whereas Marceline is a wizard-like character who can absorb red projectiles from afar
– Each character has innate abilities
– One boss is the Demon Cat with the power of approximate knowledge
– Boss shoots out red beams
– All characters have their own Imagination Meter
– When filled, this can be used for special attacks
– Some characters’ special attacks wipe the screen of enemies
– Others such as Cinnamon Bun drop food items all over the screen, which could then be picked up by teammates and used to restore health
– “We’ve got characters who are tanks, we’ve got a character who shoots projectiles, we’ve got melee characters and wizard-like characters, and if you play Diablo a lot you will able to spot it — you’ll see the strategy and get it right away. But if you’re not into that, you can just get in there and have fun with Adventure Time.” – game director Tomm Hulett
– Several environment types
– Gritty dungeon to an ice dungeon to one made of ancient ruins
– Out this fall
