The shock sequel Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 was introduced again in July, and it struck us as one thing of a do-over, however with a heavy emphasis on extra: Extra phases and updates of present phases, a brand new marketing campaign mode, extra modes basically, crossplay, a visible spit-shine to each present character, new minigames, and naturally new characters. And now we have got the reveal of the ultimate character coming to the lineup: It is the Avatar firebender Azula, princess of the Fireplace Nation and daughter of Fireplace Lord Ozai.
Azula is a robust firebender, however possesses one thing of an unstable character: She’s a pushed perfectionist with little persistence for individuals who she believes fall wanting her calls for, and infrequently treats these round her harshly, and even irrationally. She’s very helpful in a battle, although, and her pace and agility make her harmful even with out her powers.
How does all that translate into NASB2? Developer Honest Play Labs has the phrase:
“Azula is a fierce, fiery, fast-paced brawler with an explosive combo sport. With top-tier pace, a mix of highly effective firebending, and stylish martial arts methods, Azula is well-suited for an aggressive, calculated playstyle!”
We already knew Azula was coming to NASB2 however that is our first have a look at her in motion, and I’ve to confess that she’s fairly sharp throwing fingers (and hearth) with poor Stimpson J. Cat. She will not be fairly as instantly arresting as “a large Plankton mecha ripped straight from Evangelion,” as sometime-NASB participant Harvey Randall put it, however as a personality in a platform fighter I really feel like her presence is a minimum of sort of thematically on level.
Then once more, NASB2 is not essentially the most narratively cohesive videogame I’ve ever seen. Azula is a famed fighter however different characters confirmed for the sport—like Squidward, Garfield, Jimmy Neutron, Grandma Gertie, and Dagget and Norbert, the Offended Beavers—effectively, not a lot. I assume everybody’s simply there to have a great time.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 is about to launch on November 3 and can be accessible for PC on Steam.
