Sinister corporations tend to be a bit obstinate when it comes to changing their nefarious ways or closing up shop entirely. Heck, sometimes it can take several sequels before they finally take the hint. Vilhelm Industries will return to reprise its role as the freedom-hating enterprise later this year in Miasma 2. ESP Games recently released a lengthy video walking through the combat and introducing some of the new features it has implemented in hopes to improve on its predecessor.
There’s a new first-person mode in between levels where you can walk around and talk to your squad and do other RPG things like steal everyone’s prized possessions upgrade your characters. Developer David Addis explains that they’ve remixed the combat from the first game and calls the sequel a “turn-based planning game.” Basically that means that you’ll input the commands for your team in between each round and then watch the melee unfold over the course of a few seconds and repeat until one team is zipped up in body bags. Older PC junkies might see some similarities to the D&D Gold Box games. We’ll find out for sure when Miasma 2 comes to Xbox Live Indie Games later this year.
