Retro Mobile Action Game Blackmoor 2 Now Available

Mobile game developer Mooff is well-loved by many fans for creating games that are able to bring back the nostalgic feeling of the old classics. Now, the company has launched a new game: Blackmoor 2.

Mooff recently renamed into The Four Fats, and has since been switching from 2D games to 3D. Blackmoor 2, though, could be called a 2.5D game. The environment and some enemies are 3D, but everything else is 2D. This brings the game a new depth compared to previous Mooff (Or The Four Fats) games and adds a refreshing feeling to the company’s signature style.

Blackmoor 2 is a sequel to Blackmoor – Duberry’s Quest, and if you have played this first game, you know what to expect. If not, it is an action/platform game with a simple idea: You fight your way pass hordes of enemies to get to the end of the level, where you will face a boss. The game also has a touch of RPG to it as well: Throughout the game, you will learn more special abilities and offensive moves, and you can loot your vanquished foes for items that can be used to buy or upgrade your equipment. This gives Blackmoor a sense of progression.

The combat is Blackmoor 2’s most entertaining factor. Even with the RPG elements, it is still for the most part a button-smashing game. And that is absolutely not a bad thing at all. Hacking and slashing through legions of enemies is just insanely satisfying.

The story campaign of Blackmoor 2 follows the events of the first game. Furthermore, the developer has included a level-creation mode in it as well. This allows players to create their own levels and share them online for others to play. This essentially means there will be unlimited content to play through after you have finished the main story. Not only that, you can also play online with your friends as well.

Blackmoor 2 is free to play. However, if you want to unlock additional characters and costumes, or upgrade your equipment, you might find yourself having to grind for quite a bit. There are occasionally video ads too. If you want, you can purchase the premium unlock for $2.99 to remove the ads. Doing so will also give you a lot of goods, which will reduce the grind. That is not to say the premium unlock will give you everything, which is a good thing, since you will still have something to play for.

Whether you are a fan of the original Blackmoor or an action/platform game lover that is new to the series, you should definitely give Blackmoor 2 a chance. It is available on both Android and iOS.
