Janosik 2 is a charming retro 2D action-platformer with Metroidvania elements that continues the legendary adventures of the Slovak highlander and folk hero Janosik. In this follow-up to the original game, you’ll guide Janosik — along with a cast of unique companions like Bogdan the Werewolf, Vampire Hugo, and Janka — through sprawling pixel-art levels filled with foes, traps, secrets, and environmental hazards. The story kicks off after Janosik’s previous journey ends, but this time he has been captured, and the quest revolves around rescuing him, saving his beloved, and facing off against mythical and historical enemies alike.
Gameplay blends tight platforming with lively combat, boss fights, and exploration across interconnected areas. With four playable characters, each boasting distinct skills and abilities, players must adapt tactics to overcome obstacles and threats ranging from feral dogs to undead skeletons. The game’s pixel style, fast-paced action, and nostalgic feel evoke classics while adding modern flair such as Steam achievements, Steam Cloud support, and controller compatibility. Janosik 2 also features multiple endings influenced by player actions, increasing replay value for completionists and retro platformer fans alike.
