Nice new touches include the arsenal, which allows you to purchase and equip whatever weapon you prefer at the start of the level, rather than waiting for an enemy to drop it, and the health-refilling checkpoints now sprinkled throughout. There are a host of new weapons to find, each with it's own particular style of use, there are a ton of new baddies to fight, all highly punchable, and the new levels to explore are large, detailed and fit in perfectly with the series' demented presentation of the old west. In this case the expansion comes mainly in gameplay mechanics. Defeating Enemigos gives you coins to collect, and with them, you can purchase upgrades between each level.Ĭactus McCoy 2 is the best kind of sequel: one that expands and refines the original without sacrificing what made it great.

To pick up a weapon, you crouch over it with the key, and can aim it around by holding the key along with and for a diagonal shot. makes you jump onto platforms and ladders and makes you attack, either with your fists or any of the dozens of weapons you'll come across. A worthy sequel to the original Cactus McCoy released in March, Flipline Studios' Cactus McCoy 2: The Ruins of Calavera will steal as many hours of action- platforming as the first one did, pardner.Ĭontrols are nearly the same as the original: The keys move you left and right. With Ella kidnapped, it's up to McCoy to find the vault before either the Volados or his old friends the Enemigos do, recover the Serpent Blade, save the love interest, and make out like a cactus-y bandit with all the loot he can carry. It seems that there's a secret vault that contains the lost treasure of the Volados, including the magical Serpent Blade. He's met up with technicolor bird lady Ella Windstorm who spins him a tale of the Volados: a fallen civilization laid waste to by a mysterious cult known as the Reptaras. The cactus is back-tus!
