The original Frogun from Molegato and Top Hat Studios is a charming 3D low-polygon platformer starring a girl with a grappling gun. Although Frogun featured a 2-player mode, the multiplayer was competitive in nature. Thankfully, the sequel, Frogun Encore, will improve on things with full campaign co-op as well as new moves and tools for the protagonists.
Frogun Encore takes place three years after the original game. One of the original villain Beelzebub's followers has hatched a plan to resurrect the big bad guy, so Renata (the first game's heroine), her partner Jake, and their friend Hatter will have to set off on a journey to stop Beelzebub and his minions once and for all.
The first game's claims to fame were its beautiful PSOne-style 3D graphics and the grappling gun that Renata used to cross gaps and overcome obstacles. Those elements return in Encore - it sure is pretty! New moves and mechanics like the double jump, toss jump, and sling catapult will hopefully make traversal easier than ever. The campaign now supports drop-in, drop-out co-op, with one player controlling Renata and the other playing as Jake. Bringing a friend along certainly has the potential to double the fun.
