“文末實機影像★ 可愛又有朝氣的一對寶這次登上的舞台是跟前作迥然不同的橫捲軸平台.銜接各關卡間的却又是3度空間的場景,其間隱藏著一些通路與密室,而一些機關的開閉會影響到關卡.優良的操作手感與章節設計,需要運用點觀察力才能開啟前往目標的道路.解謎要素維持住冒險感.蒐集羽毛購買技能,並善用伙伴萊利幫自己擋一次失誤免於暴死.第一關重玩了數次,每次必敗,才發現遊戲是像電影的倒敍法,鐵定被打敗,就等升級再戰.”

About This Game

YOOKA AND LAYLEE RETURN FOR A 2.5D PLATFORMING ADVENTURE

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a brand-new 2.5D platformer from some of the key creative talent behind 'Donkey Kong Country'. With their arch-nemesis Capital B up to no good, the buddy duo needs to spring into action once again to save the day. To thwart his evil plan of using a “Hivemind” device to enslave an entire kingdom of bees, our heroes need to take the fight to Capital B’s “Impossible” Lair. Things look tough, but with the help of Queen Phoebee and her Royal Beetallion , Yooka and Laylee might just have a chance!

2.5D PLATFORMING!

Each level offers beautiful, rich visuals with detail and depth. Yooka, Laylee and a whole host of colourful characters (good and bad) are realised in stunning 2.5D

3D OVERWORLD!

The overworld isn’t just a hub to hop from level to level, it provides a whole separate gaming experience! Explore and unlock more 2D levels by completing objectives and puzzles, rescue the Royal Beetallion bees and find collectibles.

ALTERNATE LEVEL STATES!

Think you’ve got a level figured out? Try it in its alternate state! Flip switches in the overworld to create new landscapes. Hook up electricity, submerge them in water, freeze or literally flip them upside down for radically altered challenges!

TONICS ARE BACK!

Mix up your gameplay with the return of ‘Tonics’! There are more than 60 game-modifying Tonics in Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair including infinite rolling, harder enemies and super speed. They can also unlock new environmental and visual effects!

BEE-AT THE IMPOSSIBLE LAIR!

Players are free to tackle Capital B’s Impossible Lair at any time; however, they may find it too much of a challenge without the help of the Royal Beetallion. Free them by completing levels and they will add to your defences when taking on Capital B’s dastardly traps!
