Commander Keen 2: The Earth Explodes

The second episode of the Invasion of The Vorticons trilogy, called The Earth Explodes, tells about the next stage of the confrontation between Billy Blaise and the warlike vorticon race. Harmful aliens drove their ship into Earth orbit and are now setting up a super-weapon - X-14 Tantalus Ray - to the largest cities of the green-blue planet. And our hero is obliged to prevent this!

Commander Keane’s second series of adventures came just a few days after the first, and yet there’s not just a set of new levels in front of us, although this is technically true. The hero is now aboard the spacecraft, because the whole entourage has changed dramatically, the composition of the enemy contingent has been almost completely updated, new traps and obstacles have appeared, except that the inventory part has remained the same. And also the complexity has grown, which is not surprising.

The gameplay is also left without major changes: there are still two modes - the choice of the stage and the immediate passage of the level, all the same emphasis on acrobatic abilities with a small interspersed shooting exercises. If you liked the first episode of the series, the sequel should capture no less.

After all, if you do not help Billy, then the Earth will explode!
