MAXIMUS 2 is a fantasy beat-em-up (brawler) that focuses on crunchy and satisfying combat. We captured the spirit of some of the best classic beat-em-ups, melding them into one memorable experience. Fight solo or with up to 4 players cooperative multiplayer! STORY Is a single, continuous shot. This hasn’t been done since the 80's, rather than simply cutting from one stage to the next, the players enter an animated transition to the next area, creating the illusion of a fantastic journey. MULTIPLAYER co-op in real time, fight together with up to 4 players online or on the same device with Bluetooth controllers. HEROES with their own roles and weapons. The tank, the wrestler, the magician, the outlaw, the healer and the ninja. TEAMWORK If you work together, you survive. Players can revive a fallen teammate, support or heal them and gang up to juggle enemies off each other in the air. Supports iCloud. There are a few in-apps available but we allow the whole game to be playable and unlocked through gameplay. Please consider the Premium Upgrade if you wish to support our game development.
