La-Mulana 2 Kickstarter launched, comes with handheld and console stretch goals

Playism Games and NIGORO have just launched a Kickstarter for La-Mulana 2. The game was originally announced during TGS 2013 back in September, though there hasn’t been much news until now.

Here’s the official La-Mulana 2 overview posted on Kickstarter:

In La-Mulana 2, you will take on the role of Lumisa Kosugi on a mission to find the entrance to the ruins of Eg-Lana, which is rumored to be the source of recent monster appearances. The ruins themselves are compromised of a variety of areas as well as huge boss creatures known as Guardians. Who knows what lies in wait at the end of Eg-Lana?

It’s true that La-Mulana 2 is a sequel, but we want to make it enjoyable both for people returning to the series and newcomers alike. While “You don’t need to have played the prequel!” is a horribly overused cliché, we feel it’s appropriate here. We want all players to be able to play and enjoy our work.

La-Mulana 2 will feature the same kind of action platforming gameplay as its predecessor, with an emphasis on non-linear exploration and puzzle-solving. You’ll visit various locations, take on enemies, and use an arsenal of tools in the 20-30 hour adventure.

La-Mulana 2 will need to raise $200,000 by February 22 in order to reach its funding goal. A handheld stretch goal lies at $1.15 million (including 3DS). There are also two separate console stretch goals: $1.65 million for Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One, and $2.35 million for Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360. Keep in mind that “platforms are subject to negotiation”.
