Description
Buy Ori and the Will of the Wisps Steam for an opportunity to play the long-awaited sequel to an award-winning 2015 action-platformer that was Ori and the Blind Forest. Once again, the subsequent game is produced by Moon Studios – an indie developer made up of former AAA game creators from all over the globe. Ori and the Will of the Wisps drastically expands upon its predecessor in every way and presents exciting additional features. Without a doubt it’s a culmination of 2D platformer design, presenting a lively fictional world, unique sense of style and a touching story that pulls on your emotions.
Discover your destiny
The protagonist from the first game returns to the sequel and continues its immersive story. Buy Ori and the Will of the Wisps Steam and again assume the role of a small guardian spirit named Ori. In the first game, Ori was presented as an orphan who fell from the Spirit Tree. Brought up by a creature named Naru, Ori had to save the Nibel forest from destruction by restoring the elements of Wind, Water, and Warmth. This time around the young spirit creature will once again be called to heroics with a new goal in mind – to discover its own personal destiny.
Distinctive levels
The 2D platformer is built on the Unity Engine. Even though the entire game is presented from the side-view perspective, every character and element of the environment has been 3D modeled. Buy Ori and the Will of the Wisps Steam and explore zones of the game that stand in high contrast to each other. Each level has a distinct musical score made by Gareth Coker – a composer who also worked on soundtracks featured in games like Minecraft and ARK: Survival Evolved. All elements in the environment react to you in different ways: platforms shake as you land on them, releasing a cloud of dust while the light emitted by Ori’s body covers everything around it with a beautiful blue glow.
Improvements upon the original
With the Ori and the Will of the Wisps Steam gameplay-wise, you’ll gain everything Ori and the Blind Forest had to offer and then some. The sequel improves upon the combat mechanics, expanding the arsenal of weapons and skills available to Ori. Now the guardian spirit will be able to use spiritual swords, hammers, and bows both for long-range attacks as well as up-close fighting. Skills will provide Ori with new powers but each of them has a trade-off – you’ll become stronger in one area but because of that you’ll gain a weakness in another. Ori and the Will of the Wisps Steam also presents a form of multiplayer as well, since you’ll be able to compare your playthroughs of the game with an in-game ghostly representation of your friend.
