Item Description

Fargus has one goal in Pandemonium 2, and it is to touch the pretty fire. That fire happens to be the Comet of Infinite Possibilities, which passes over the land of Lyr once every three hundred years, and the sorceress Nikki has her own plan to steal its magic before the Goon Queen Zorrscha can claim it. Add Sid, Fargus's talking head on a stick, who would quite like his jester out of the way, and you have one of the most gleefully unhinged setups on the PlayStation.

The sequel keeps the original's clever 2.5D design, with fully polygonal worlds and a swooping 3D camera following a path you run, jump and climb along, but almost everything around it got bigger. Nikki and Fargus can now climb ropes, crawl and haul themselves up ledges, and power-ups change depending on who is holding them: fire gives Nikki a stream of fireballs, while Fargus turns invincible and deadly to the touch but can't stop running forward. Scattered life pieces raise your health from four hit points all the way to sixteen, so exploring every corner pays off.

Collecting at least eighty percent of a level's treasure opens Boarder Run, a frantic sliding race away from a pursuing vortex that hands out extra lives, and four boss stages break up the journey with small puzzle fights. Reviewers praised the inventive level design and the explosion of color, and Burke Trieschmann's soundtrack suits the psychedelic, dreamlike art direction perfectly. The game is noticeably tougher than the first, and the ending you see depends on which hero lands the final blow.

It also has a famous footnote: Nikki's sultrier redesign earned the game Electronic Gaming Monthly's tongue-in-cheek Worst Makeover award for 1997. That is part of its personality too, a late-'90s sequel that leaned hard into weirdness. If the first Pandemonium charmed you, this is where the series got stranger, harder and more ambitious.

About the game

When the magic-infused "Comet of Infinite Possibilities" is about to pass over Lyr for the first time in 300 years, Sorceress Nikki decides that stealing the source of its magic is a quicker way to reach power than study. But the evil Goon Queen Zorrscha has her sights set on the comet as well. Nikki and Fargus, a pyromaniac court jester with his own special abilities, race the queen for the goal.
