![]() The first act on Twinsun is a mostly upbeat affair with plenty of dialogue sequences, fetch quests, and mini-games awaiting the player. The game is, for all intents and purposes, broken up into different acts with the jump between planets acting as a bridge. Early on Twinsen gains access to a hand radio allowing communication with NPCs anywhere in the field, which provides updated objectives without the need to return to its originator. The puzzles this time tend toward the more task-focused with NPCs asking Twinsen to retrieve items or perform actions in order to progress. With the help of his friends, Twinsen must save his own planet once again and put a stop to the Esmers’ plan.Īs with the first game, progress through the story is linear, but the player can freely explore the world. After crash landing on Citadel Island, Twinsen emerges from his craft only to discover that his planet has been conquered by the Esmers and all citizens have been placed under martial law. With the help of a fellow inmate, Twinsen manages to trick one of the guards and escape to the shuttle bay in order to return to Twinsun. ![]() Upon arriving on Zeelich, Twinsen is arrested and thrown in prison. As Twinsen soon discovers, the Esmers are planning to use the kidnapped inhabitants of Twinsun as a sacrifice in order to revive the great Dark Monk who is supposedly capable of restoring Zeelich to its former glory. Suspecting foul play, Twinsen trains at the School of Magic in order to become a wizard himself and accept the Esmers’ offer to visit their home planet. Shortly after their appearance, however, both the wizards and their children begin to disappear. They claim to require the help of Twinsun’s wizards in order to help restore their planet. Their home planet Zeelich has become plagued by toxic gasses rendering the surface unlivable and driving them to build structures into the sky. They offer to share their advanced technology in exchange for help from the wizards of Twinsun. As soon as the clouds are eventually cleared, however, strange aliens who call themselves Esmers appear under the guise of a diplomatic mission. In order to reach the healing wizard on Desert Island, however, you first have to end the storm with the help of the local weather wizard. Unfortunately, Twinsen’s trusty DinoFly is caught in the storm and crashes nearby, leaving Twinsen with his first objective employing the services of a healing wizard. On Planet Twinsun, weather wizards are responsible for stabilizing the climate so a storm of this magnitude is simply unheard of. The result was an experience even more memorable than the original game.įollowing an introduction narrated by Twinsen explaining the events of the first game, LBA2 begins when the usually calm weather of Twinsun is disrupted by a sudden and violent storm. Known as Twinsen’s Odyssey in the US and now published by Activision, Little Big Adventure 2 set out to deliver a much larger adventure that would take place across multiple planets, while introducing refinements to the graphics engine and gameplay mechanics. Alongside Time Commando, however, the original team was busy working on a sequel to Little Big Adventure. It was an interesting experiment, which unfortunately holds up very poorly today. ![]() Time Commando was a side-scrolling brawler, which used video-based backgrounds and geometric characters. Following the completion of the original game, Adeline Software pursued a different project known as Time Commando, which was released in 1996 on the PC, with Saturn and PlayStation ports appearing slightly thereafter.
