About
Janosik 2 picks up right after the events of the first game. The famed Slovakian highlander and robber Janosik just finished a quest to rescue his comrades and is now on the path to defeat even more enemies – both mythical and historical. This time around, it’s not the band of brothers that’s missing, but rather Janosik himself. Caught with an ingenious ruse, our hero must rescue himself, his beloved and make new friends on the way.
Accompany Highlander Janosik, Bogdan the Werewolf, and a cloak-wrapped Vampire Hugo on a rescue mission to save Janka, who was captured by evil Baron de Blonde. Trek through dense mountain forests that are home to feral dogs, headless skeletons, and more, all bent on making your life harder. Bear in mind though, that there might be something even more sinister waiting for you at the end of the journey...
Much bigger levels filled to the brink with new characters, enemies and environmental threats, and traversal options.
Four playable characters with unique abilities that complement each other, making the gameplay more fun and diverse
Lightning-quick reflexes, good muscle memory, and thinking two steps ahead will sadly - not be enough to finish Janosik in one sitting. But at least the checkpoints are plentiful and restarts - instantaneous
A highlander, a vampire, and a werewolf enter a dungeon... and emerge - hopefully - with the Highlander's rescued bride while meeting, fighting, and defeating everyone and everything that stands in your way
Enjoy the short breaks in an exhilarating experience by admiring the cutscenes that signify important events of Janosik, beautifully presented in all their full, 100+colors, hand-drawn, and animated glory. You will never skip a cutscene featuring a mountable sheep again
Did we mention 3 different endings? Choices and actions made throughout your journey will shape the fate of Janosik and his companions.

Gra fajna, ale zbyt wiele razy miałem przy niej ragequit, jak myliło mi się na kogo się przełączyć, by mieć konkretne skille. Możliwe że do szybszych produkcji za bardzo się przyzwyczaiłem, co tutaj jest mocno zgubne.
It's not a good metroidvania since backtracking isn't done well imo, but the gameplay itself is well done. Think of it as a metroidvania-lite but with fun gameplay.
A delightful little game. It's a simple platformer but well polished with clever level design and enough mechanical depth to keep things interesting. The writing is charming, the characters are fun, and the gameplay is solid. I had a wonderful time.
No es malo el juego, pero... si jugaste el anterior... se siente lo mismo pero con un par de cositas más, y es ahí donde me sacó las ganas de continuarlo. La jugabilidad está piola, es entretenido el plataformeo, yo creo que si jugás de una a este título lo vas a disfrutar. Pero yo jugué la primer versión del primer juego, luego tuvo una actualización importante donde prácticamente reestructuraron todo el mapa y se sentía como un juego diferente, y luego, llega el 2 y se siente como otra reestruccturación donde se vuelve a reciclar todo lo mismo, salvo que con personajes nuevos, pero más allá de eso es muy igual. Para colmo el desafio se siente bastante nulo teniendo puntos de guardado por todos lados, la muerte no genera consecuencias y la plata sobra en abundancia, que cuando hay que comprar un item, la plata seguro que la tenés. Encima estoy medio confundido, esto que digo ahora tomenlo con pinzas, pero no me acuerdo bien la trama del primer juego, pero creo pasaba lo mismo de que le capturaban a la novia con la secuencia del chabón travestido que le tendía la trampa (algo que me hizo cagar de risa la primera vez que lo vi) y bueno, si vuelve a pasar exactamente lo mismo es un bajón. En fin, en resumidas cuentas, no es malo, pero si jugaste lo anterior se te va a hacer muy repetitivo.
爽游,不知道为什么总是闪退,但顶着闪退也通了
Классный платформер. Много разнообразных уровней, куча секретов. Прикольно переключаться между персонажами и комбинировать их абилки. Не очень сбалансированная в плане боссов, ближе к концу игры персонажи становятся настолько мощными, что могут перманентно босса держать в стане. И скапливается куча зелий здоровья, так что становится пофиг на любой урон. Сражения в целом не сильная сторона игры, рядовые враги хороши только как дополнение к платформингу. Очень классная музыка. А ещё можно сохраняться посреди уровней, и при следующем заходе в игру продолжать сразу оттуда!
Surprisingly pleasurable platformer. Based on Polish highlander legend, joins some old tales with classic fantasy. Homorous dialogues and quite consistent story. Difficulty is rather low, also some character skills unlocked early become redundant in later levels. But the platforming itself and combat has a nice pace and gives a lot of joy. At first it was not very clear how to unlock all endings (I was also not able to find any guides - I guess I could write one myself), but it became quite intuitive (hint - it can be done within single playthrough, although if you play like me and you need to clear all optional objectives before going for the main quest, you will most probably need two - as I did). I strongly recommend to all completionists as achievements are very reasonable.
Trafiłem na gierkę przypadkiem przeglądając festiwal polskich gier z okazji konstytucji 3 maja. Nie sądziłem że tak mnie wciągnie jak na swój format jako że zazwyczaj grywam w kompetetywne tytuły. Okazała się jednak naprawdę przyjemna i wciągająca z wyraźną nutą polskości co bardzo cieszy. Twórca ma czym się chwalić.
Very nice and fun platform game. It's split into levels connected by a central hub (your village). A few levels need abilities that you unlock later to fully complete, so it may have some "metroidvania" elements but it's not a full-fledged metroidvania. It has combat and bosses (the difficulty isn't too high, IMHO). Highly recommended!
Just like first part, only bigger and better. Neat platformer with metroidvania features. Only downside is that it gets too easy (unusual for this genre) — with just a little effort to explore and find secrets you get enough money that upgrades cost is non-issue, and enough health potions that health is non-issue. Bosses gets underwhelming, too — I defeated penultimate boss without unlocking any of arena features.
