![]() Each character has a somewhat referential reference to many people from pop culture and other games, so the new character Nitro resembles Captain Falcona but at the same time Sylvester Stallone as Judge Dredd, while Grid acts as a mix of several Marvel and DC characters. Also, Jet's look and style suggests the deliberate similarities of Lethal League with the Jet Set Radio series.Īlthough Team Reptile announces additional content and new playful characters, the current roster is quite interesting and is twice as big as the initial roster that was welcomed in LL1. When playing in a network multiplayer, most players will notice that Jet-agile inline skateboarders with a jet pack on the back are the most popular among the new characters. The above-mentioned returnees, along with a fully playful and balanced boss from the Doombox unit, joined three completely new characters - Jet, Grid and Nitro. Sound effects are easily recognizable in those split seconds when you expect a quick reaction, and when looking for any visual, but also an audit trail to help you react quickly and take advantage of the best option that your character has in a given situation. The new characters are equal to the number of comments and exclamations with veterans from LL1. If you happen to be among the few players who have had the opportunity to play the first LL, you might be displeased with the fact that the cast votes for characters in the role of returnees - Raptor, Candyman, Latch, Switch, Sonata and Dice - are identical and fully downloaded from the predecessor. Each level has a corresponding song (or two), and among the lesser known DJs who signed the soundtrack of the first Lethal League, some of the famous names such as Frank Klepacki (Command & Conquer series) and Hideki Naganum (Jet) Set Radio Series). Everything is full of charm and the game does not hide that it is one of the fundamental inspirations, at least when it comes to visual style and presentation, Segin cult classic - Jet Set Radio.Īs far as sound is concerned, I believe that many players will agree that the soundtrack is better than its predecessor. Levels represent redesigned versions of the arena from the first game, adding a number of details to make them look even more vibrant, which includes chaotic transformations of levels that occur when the ball reaches higher speeds.Įach arena has its own ambience and atmosphere they differ in each other's way, but they never seem overwhelmed and never bother in the sense that you will find yourself in the level of a color palette in a situation that you can not figure out what is actually happening on the screen. The characters are also three-dimensional, and as such in relation to LL1 they have much more complex and better-quality animations that successfully illustrate the character of each character. Perhaps somewhat less spectacular, but certainly similar, we have in LL Blaze because you will often have the feeling that this is a beautifully animated interactive movie, forgetting that all the level structures are actually in 3D. The best example for comparison would be the Guilty Gear Xrd, in which the graphic style is so nicely decorated that you will often think of watching some kind of anime. This time the graphics are in 3D, with gameplay and movement remaining 2D. Team Reptile decided to dismiss two-dimensional background levels and 2D character models. The Steam version also added new moves such as a bunny (a slight slap for rejecting and tapping the ball) and pairing during hit-lag with its own impact, and special strokes different for each character of the modest roster.Īll these mechanics are also present hereafter called Lethal League Blaze, which is out on Steam, and next year it should also come to consoles. In doing so, you must master the timing with an indicator that determines when the ball will continue to move, or when the so-called " hit-lag. The gameplay itself in it was carefully updated, but the basic concept and task from the prototype remained the same: hit an opponent and do not let him hit you. ![]() In August 2014, the Steam version of the first Lethal League appeared, this time as a complete game. ![]() This prototype was a very simple, but surprising gameplay, that the Dutch studio Team Reptile motivated them to move to a somewhat more serious project with this idea. It was a prototype in which you had a simple task: to hit a baseball ball from various positions and at various angles, which is accelerating every next hit, so that at one point it surprises an opponent and lays it with a ball before he arrives to defend himself. ![]() Interesting is the fact that the original Lethal League actually came up as a free flash game for Internet browsers. ![]()
