The gameplay of ''Freedom Planet 2'' remains broadly true to that of its predecessor<ref name=":3">[http://freedomplanet2.com/about.php Freedom Planet 2 - About]</ref>, with the following updates and new features added:
   
−
===Adventure Mode===
 +
=== Adventure Mode ===
  +
'''Adventure Mode''' functions similarly to the first game, with the following and updated features included:
−
'''Adventure Mode''' now features a World Map, where the Player can explore the World of Avalice in style by accessing HUB Areas, interacting with [[NPCs]] and unlocking new Stages as they progress through the Story.
  
   
  +
==== [[HUB Area|Hub Areas]] ====
−
===Classic Mode===
  
  +
[[File:Carol King.gif|right|250px|"Queen" Carol in Shuigang Palace, one of the HUB Stages set to appear in the game|alt=]]'''Hub Areas''', which didn't make into the game's predecessor due to time constraints, are a part of the game's Adventure Mode. They are filled with [[NPC|NPCs]] that the player can interact with as they progress through the story. There is also a World Map, allowing the player to move between the Hubs and Stages, exploring the world of Avalice in style.
−
'''Classic Mode''' is more unique from Adventure Mode this time, as it now features a grid map that allows quick and easy access to any Stage. by completing certain Stages, multiple Stages will be unlock at once, meaning the Player can play them in any order they want. Certain Stages require a number of Star Cards to be unlocked.
  
   
−
=== Guarding ===
 +
==== Cutscenes ====
  +
[[File:Neera dialog test.png|right|250px|The Original Concept of Freedom Planet 2's Cutscenes, depicted as a Visual Novel]]
−
The player can now tap a dedicated '''guard''' button to avoid a certain amount of damage from incoming enemy attacks.<ref name=":3">[http://freedomplanet2.com/about.php Freedom Planet 2 - About]</ref> The shield will not fully reflect damage from larger or powerful attacks; however, it will reduce the damage if properly timed. Milla can now spawn her Phantom Cubes by guarding.
  
  +
Adventure Mode has '''Cutscenes''' similar to those from the first game, in which the story is told through the use of unique sprite animations and voice acting.
   
  +
It was originally planned for the cutscenes to play out in a style similar to a visual novel, with only certain cutscenes featuring sprite animation. However, the cutscenes have been altered to mirror those of its predecessor, as shown in the Adventure Mode 2019 Trailer.
−
=== Revivals ===
  
−
When the character has been defeated, the player can use one of their [[Extra Life|Stocks]] to '''revive''' them. This grants a few seconds of invincibility and some [[Health Petal]]s back if a certain [[Power-Ups|Power-Up]] is equipped. However, reviving doesn't work if the character's body has been disintegrated.<ref name=":3">[http://freedomplanet2.com/about.php Freedom Planet 2 - About]</ref>

[[File:elementOrbs.png|thumb|203x203px|The Guardian Orbs in all five elements (Left to Right: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal)]]
  
   
−
=== Guardian Orbs ===
 +
=== Classic Mode ===
  +
[[File:Classic Barrier.png|right|250px|Classic Mode, now stylized in a grid format]]'''Classic Mode''' is more unique this time from its predecessor, and can only be unlocked if the Player completes Adventure Mode with any Character. Instead of progressing through the stages in a set order that is determined by the identity of the playable character, it now features a grid map that allows quick and easy access to any stage. Unlike Adventure Mode, some of the stages in Classic Mode are non-linear, as completing certain stages unlocks multiple stages at once, allowing the player to play them in any order they want.
−
Instead of releasing a shield that surrounds and protects the player, the [[Shield Crystals]] will release '''guardian orbs'''<ref name=":2" /> which will follow the player around. There are five types of orbs, each corresponding to one of the five [[Elements]]. They all have similar buffs to the shields from the first game, as well as some new abilities. For instance, the Fire Orb is now water-resistant, and can now spawn a health petal for every 20 [[Crystal Shard]]s. Also, if playing as Milla, the orbs will carry her Phantom Cubes until she uses them.
  
   
  +
====Universal & Quick Shops====
−
Certain power-ups can change the element of all shield crystals in a stage (for example, the Water Charm will change the element of all orbs into water).
  
  +
[[File:Quick Shop.png|right|250px|The Universal Shop shown in Classic Mode]]Exclusive to Classic Mode is a feature called the '''Universal Shop''', where the player can buy [[Inventory Items|items]] before the start of a stage. In contrast to the Universal Shop is the '''Quick Shop''', a feature exclusive to Adventure Mode that allows the player to conveniently access any previously visited shops from the World Map without the need to travel to said shop. Between both variants of the shops, the player can buy items, [[Music Vinyl]]s and even Gold Gems. Although some items can be found for free in the stages, the player is given the option to pay extra for convenience.
   
  +
===[[Guarding]]===
−
The health of the orbs is displayed on the character's health meter, stacked over two petals per orb collected; guardian orbs may absorb as many as six or seven hits if enough are collected. If the player, having obtained an orb of one element then collects another of a different element, the damage absorption will still stack but the element of the orb will change. Even though the player is protected from damage, they are not granted any invincibility when their orb is damaged.
  
  +
'''Guarding''' is a new gameplay mechanic introduced in ''Freedom Planet 2''. By tapping a dedicated button, the player can avoid a certain amount of damage from incoming enemy attacks.<ref name=":3">[http://freedomplanet2.com/about.php Freedom Planet 2 - About]</ref> The technique will not fully reflect damage from larger or more powerful attacks; however, it will reduce the amount of damage if properly timed. This new mechanic also has a secondary action for each Playable Character:
   
  +
*'''''Lilac:''''' Uses her new ''[[Blink Dash]]'' Ability
−
Guardian Orbs have the following animal-like features:
  
  +
*'''''Carol:''''' Summons or Stores her ''[[Motorcycle]]'' after using her new ''[[Jump Disc]]''
−
* '''Water Orb: '''Fish fins and tail.
  
  +
*'''''Milla:''''' Instantly spawns her ''[[Phantom Cube]]s''
−
* '''Wood Orb: '''Butterfly wings.
  
  +
*'''''Neera:''''' Enters her ''[[Focus State]]''
−
* '''Fire Orb: '''Phoenix wings and tail.
  
−
* '''Earth Orb: '''Beetle wings.
  
−
* '''Metal Orb: '''Eagle wings.
  
   
−
=== Speed Gates ===
 +
===Revivals===
  +
'''Revivals''' constitute another new gameplay mechanic included in ''Freedom Planet 2''. When the character has been defeated, the player is given two options for revival: return to the last checkpoint at full health, or immediately get back up at zero health unless certain health-related items are equipped. This also grants a few seconds of invincibility.
−
'''Speed Gates''' are rainbow rings with a similar appearance to the Time Gates from [[Pangu Lagoon]]. When the player passes through one of these rings, a bonus timer will begin, and the player will be able to earn Bonus Crystal Shards by leaving behind a trail of tao marks. Once the timer runs out, all the tao marks on the trail will transform into Crystal Shards. The longer the Tao trail is, the more Shards the player will earn.
  
   
  +
'''WARNING:''' Reviving doesn't work if the character's body has been disintegrated.<ref name=":3">[http://freedomplanet2.com/about.php Freedom Planet 2 - About]</ref>
−
=== [[Star Cards]] ===
  
−
'''Star Cards''' remain as collectibles and can be viewed in the inventory. However, they are now dropped by bosses and must be collected to complete each corresponding stage; they can also be found in stages without bosses. They can be traded in the [[Battlesphere]], where the player can unlock Arena Challenges.
  
   
−
=== Hub Worlds ===
 +
===Speed Gates===
  +
'''Speed Gates''' are rainbow-colored rings with a similar appearance to the Time Gates from [[Pangu Lagoon]]. When the player passes through one of these rings, a bonus timer will begin, and the player will be able to earn bonus Crystal Shards by leaving behind a trail of Tao marks. Once the timer runs out, all the Tao Marks on the trail will transform into Crystal Shards. The longer the Tao Trail is, the more shards the player will earn.
−
'''Hub Worlds''', which didn't make it into the game's predecessor due to time constraints, will be a part of the game's Adventure Mode and will be filled with [[NPCs]] (Non-Playable Characters) the player can interact with. Freedom Planet 2 will also have a World Map, allowing the player to move between the Hub Worlds.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSn2XtSMptg Freedom Planet 2 In-Depth Interview w/ Creator & Voice Cast!]

−
=== Cutscenes ===
 +
== Stages==
  +
[[File:Prototype2.png|right|250px|2nd Prototype Screenshot of Avian Museum.]]''Freedom Planet 2'' has a total of 24 regular '''Stages'''. Unlike those of its predecessor, each stage is now a single big area instead of being divided into multiple areas and two acts. Though every stage has an end-boss encounter, some also have a mid-boss encounter. Alongside the main stages, there are optional tutorial levels where players can learn the basics as well as be familiarized with each character's special abilities. After the player's first visit at the [[Royal Palace]] hub, the order of stages split into 3 separate episodic story arcs (with 6 in total), before merging again for a singular path in [[Gravity Bubble]] for the third act of the game. Act 2 begins with [[Tidal Gate]] after completing the first 3 arcs. The player can not change between story arcs once one of the 3 has been chosen.
−
Adventure Mode features '''cutscenes''' similar to those of the first installment, in which the story is explained with unique animated sprites and voice acting.[[File:Neera dialog test.png|thumb|220x220px|The original concept for Freedom Planet 2's cutscenes in the visual novel style.]]
  
−
It was originally intended for the cutscenes to play out in a style similar to a visual novel using still images, with only certain scenes including sprite movement. However, this was shown to have been altered in the 2019 Adventure Mode trailer.

==Trivia==
  +
  +
*It was originally planned for ''Freedom Planet 2'''s Adventure Mode to have separate story arcs to choose from, such as the Museum Arc, Battlesphere Arc and Shuigang Arc. But likely due to changes in the story, the gameplay now is more linear. <ref>https://www.twitch.tv/videos/736345968</ref> However, the choice to choose between the story arcs is still retained in the game's Classic Mode, where the player can play the stages in any order, regardless of the story arcs.
  +
**However, the linear structure was scrapped entirely because the developers changed their mind and the "seperate story arcs" feature was brought back for the final game. There is an exception if playing as Carol in the Adventure Mode, where "Justice in the Sky Paradise" is locked unless the player finishes the "Robot Wars! Snake Vs. Tarsier" arc due to a later scene in the former arc's story.

In Freedom Planet 2 - Sequel to the breakout Indie Games hit, Freedom Planet - The Kingdom Stone has been broken and now an ancient threat has been awakened. Will you stand strong when Bakunawa rises?
- Strife, on GalaxyTrail Discord


Freedom Planet 2 is the second game in the Freedom Planet series, taking place 3 years after the events of the first game. It was submitted to Steam Greenlight on February 10th, 2017[1] and was greenlit on February 14th, 2017[2]. The game's release date was previously estimated to be in 2018[2] and was later changed to late 2019.[3] After several delays in game development, Freedom Planet 2 was officially released on September 13, 2022 for PC and Linux, with a home console release on multiple platforms which was released on April 4, 2024.[4]

A demo of the game, aptly called the "Sample Version", was released for a limited time on January 31, 2017, via the game's website.

Join the heroes of Avalice: Sash Lilac, Carol Tea & Milla Basset as they team up with their once rival Neera Li to face their greatest challenge yet. An ancient terror has emerged from the depths of the ocean. Merga, a water dragon from Avalice's oldest and deadliest war, has been freed from her crystal prison as a consequence of the Kingdom Stone's destruction. Through her act of vengeance, she holds a dark and terrible truth about Avalice's leaders that will change the history of the three kingdoms forever. War is imminent once again, but this time, the heroes are split between sides. As friendships are tested, will the girls stand united when Bakunawa rises?[5]

Gameplay

The gameplay of Freedom Planet 2 remains broadly true to that of its predecessor[5], with the following updates and new features added:

Adventure Mode

Adventure Mode functions similarly to the first game, with the following and updated features included:

Hub Areas

Carol King

Hub Areas, which didn't make into the game's predecessor due to time constraints, are a part of the game's Adventure Mode. They are filled with NPCs that the player can interact with as they progress through the story. There is also a World Map, allowing the player to move between the Hubs and Stages, exploring the world of Avalice in style.

Cutscenes

The Original Concept of Freedom Planet 2's Cutscenes, depicted as a Visual Novel

Adventure Mode has Cutscenes similar to those from the first game, in which the story is told through the use of unique sprite animations and voice acting.

It was originally planned for the cutscenes to play out in a style similar to a visual novel, with only certain cutscenes featuring sprite animation. However, the cutscenes have been altered to mirror those of its predecessor, as shown in the Adventure Mode 2019 Trailer.

Classic Mode

Classic Mode, now stylized in a grid format

Classic Mode is more unique this time from its predecessor, and can only be unlocked if the Player completes Adventure Mode with any Character. Instead of progressing through the stages in a set order that is determined by the identity of the playable character, it now features a grid map that allows quick and easy access to any stage. Unlike Adventure Mode, some of the stages in Classic Mode are non-linear, as completing certain stages unlocks multiple stages at once, allowing the player to play them in any order they want.

Universal & Quick Shops

The Universal Shop shown in Classic Mode

Exclusive to Classic Mode is a feature called the Universal Shop, where the player can buy items before the start of a stage. In contrast to the Universal Shop is the Quick Shop, a feature exclusive to Adventure Mode that allows the player to conveniently access any previously visited shops from the World Map without the need to travel to said shop. Between both variants of the shops, the player can buy items, Music Vinyls and even Gold Gems. Although some items can be found for free in the stages, the player is given the option to pay extra for convenience.

Guarding

Guarding is a new gameplay mechanic introduced in Freedom Planet 2. By tapping a dedicated button, the player can avoid a certain amount of damage from incoming enemy attacks.[5] The technique will not fully reflect damage from larger or more powerful attacks; however, it will reduce the amount of damage if properly timed. This new mechanic also has a secondary action for each Playable Character:

Revivals

Revivals constitute another new gameplay mechanic included in Freedom Planet 2. When the character has been defeated, the player is given two options for revival: return to the last checkpoint at full health, or immediately get back up at zero health unless certain health-related items are equipped. This also grants a few seconds of invincibility.

WARNING: Reviving doesn't work if the character's body has been disintegrated.[5]

Speed Gates

Speed Gates are rainbow-colored rings with a similar appearance to the Time Gates from Pangu Lagoon. When the player passes through one of these rings, a bonus timer will begin, and the player will be able to earn bonus Crystal Shards by leaving behind a trail of Tao marks. Once the timer runs out, all the Tao Marks on the trail will transform into Crystal Shards. The longer the Tao Trail is, the more shards the player will earn.

Stages

Freedom Planet 2 has a total of 24 regular Stages. Unlike those of its predecessor, each stage is now a single big area instead of being divided into multiple areas and two acts. Though every stage has an end-boss encounter, some also have a mid-boss encounter. Alongside the main stages, there are optional tutorial levels where players can learn the basics as well as be familiarized with each character's special abilities. After the player's first visit at the Royal Palace hub, the order of stages split into 3 separate episodic story arcs (with 6 in total), before merging again for a singular path in Gravity Bubble for the third act of the game. Act 2 begins with Tidal Gate after completing the first 3 arcs. The player can not change between story arcs once one of the 3 has been chosen.

Trivia

  • It was originally planned for Freedom Planet 2's Adventure Mode to have separate story arcs to choose from, such as the Museum Arc, Battlesphere Arc and Shuigang Arc. But likely due to changes in the story, the gameplay now is more linear. [9] However, the choice to choose between the story arcs is still retained in the game's Classic Mode, where the player can play the stages in any order, regardless of the story arcs.
    • However, the linear structure was scrapped entirely because the developers changed their mind and the "seperate story arcs" feature was brought back for the final game. There is an exception if playing as Carol in the Adventure Mode, where "Justice in the Sky Paradise" is locked unless the player finishes the "Robot Wars! Snake Vs. Tarsier" arc due to a later scene in the former arc's story.
