It combines several action game/arcade sequences and some elements from the role-playing game genre.
Like its predecessor, LBA 2 is real-time adventure. Essentially every character in the game is interactive and will respond differently when Twinsen speaks to them. The LBA world is considered extremely large and varied for games of its time. All text in the game is spoken by the characters. After completion of certain tasks the player is presented with a full motion video sequence. Unlike LBA, it is possible to save the game at any point. The interior game field is divided in scenes (a small block of the game that is active). All characters and vehicles are 3D polygon-based objects, allowing for full rotation and movement abilities. Owners can also play Retro Editions of each game - basically, the original versions more or less as they were on release - by downloading them as free DLC.Īlongside its work on sprucing up Little Big Adventure's original outings, 2.21 is also looking to revisit the series in a new "reboot" - although it sounds like that project is still some way off.LBA 2 has two viewing modes - for outdoor scenes a 3D perspective view is used, and for indoor scenes it uses a 3D isometric perspective (the game field is rotated 45 degrees). The latter mode enables players start a play-through using end-game items like the Sabre, Protopack and Magic Level 4.Īll these new additions have now been added to the Classic versions of Little Big Adventure 1 & 2 on Steam (now officially now known as Twinsen's Little Big Adventure to avoid confusion with Sony's Little Big Planet) in a free update that'll be making its way to GoG and Luna "very soon". That work, though, is finally complete, and both games now featuring controller support, Steam achievements, Steam cloud saving, in-menu language selection, input remapping, windowed support, a hit by walls toggle, and a New Game+.
Twinsen's Little Big Adventure Classic Trailer. Needless to say, at now over a quarter of a century old, both were decidedly lacking in modern day polish.ĭeveloper 2.21, which now owns the rights to the series (and counts Little Big Adventure co-creator Didier Chanfray as a founder), announced it would be upgrading Little Big Adventure 1 & 2 back in March, although there was no estimated time of arrival for its enhancements.
FunFrock - released back in 1994 and was followed by a sequel three years later. The original Little Big Adventure - an evocative blend of platforming, puzzling, and exploration that followed young hero Twinsen as he attempted to escape evil dictator Dr. Adeline Software's much-loved Little Big Adventure series can now be enjoyed with a welcome selection of modern day niceties - including cloud saves, controller support, and Steam achievements - thanks to a brand-new update on Steam.
