Cactus McCoy 2 is a classic side-scrolling platformer-brawler. Unlike your games, this is a story-driven trip with a beginning, middle, and end.
Game Mechanics
- After being cursed into a cactus in the first game, McCoy encounters Ella Windstorm, a woman with wings.
- They work together to locate the fabled Ruins of Calavera, but Malana Mire, a villain, kidnaps Ella.
- To save her and locate the fabled Serpent Blade, you must battle through a variety of locations.
Combat Weapons
- Shovels, whips, firearms, and even everyday objects can be used as weapons by McCoy. This sequel features a new "Mastery" system that improves your damage when you employ particular weapon kinds.
- You'll employ "Alpaca Blastoffs" to get to high locations, ride rafts, climb ropes, and navigate challenging courses.
- Each level has a special hidden treasure and five distinct obstacles (such as finishing the level within a set time or using only your fists).
Final Thoughts on the Game
At the Final Area, where McCoy eventually makes it to the center of the Calavera Ruins for a decisive battle, the game comes to an end.
Malana Mire is your opponent. She employs a variety of magical attacks and the might of the Serpent Blade.
After being vanquished, Malana Mire bursts into a burst of blue light, shattering the Serpent Blade. Ella is set free by McCoy as the ruins start to crumble.
