SEGA Ages Columns II: The Voyage Through Time details and screenshots
Columns II: The Voyage Through Time will be the next entry in the SEGA Ages lineup on Switch. On the official website, a new batch of details and screenshots were provided.
Here’s the full roundup, courtesy of Gematsu:
Arcade Mode
– “Flash Columns”: a stage clear-style game where you match jewels to eliminate them
– “VS Columns”: aim for chains to push up the opponent’s field; by eliminating the skull that appears after a certain period of time, the floor will rise and the field will get smaller
– New element: a stage select feature has been added to Flash Columns, allowing you start from any of the 70 stages
– New element: a “Skull Cut” option has been added, which stops the appearance of skulls
– New element: the second player’s field can be flipped 180 degrees and the Switch placed on the floor / table to play VS Mode face-to-face
– New element: “Stage Design” option has been added, which allows you to set the design of the field and jewels to your liking – either “Random” or “Columns I”
Infinite Columns
– New mode
– The basic rules are the same as Arcade Mode’s Flash Columns
– Rather than a stage clear-style game, it is an endless play-style game
– After a certain amount of time passes while playing, jewels will be added to the bottom row so that the floor gradually rises
– By eliminating flashing jewels, all jewels of the same color will be eliminated
Columns I
– Enjoy endless play based on the origin of the series, the original Columns (Genesis / Mega Drive version)
– When you start the game, you can choose from three background songs
– This is the same Columns included with the paid “Game Pack” add-on for the Yakuza 0 Companion App for PS Vita
Network VS
– Compete against online players across the country in Arcade Mode’s VS Columns
Jewel Box
– Check the status of the stages you have cleared in Arcade Mode’s Flash Columns
– Depending on your level of achievement, you will be able to see brief profiles for Round Girl and Round Boy, the characters that appear in the opening movies of SEGA Ages titles
