Putrefaction 2: Void Walker follows the events of the first game, transporting its protagonist to another galaxy after the ancient evil is destroyed. As a Void Walker, the player travels across different worlds and times, working for a mysterious being and searching for clues to an ultimate enemy. Its premise gives the action an interstellar, time-spanning frame rather than keeping the conflict in one setting.
The game pairs faster-paced shooting with an action-adventure tone. Its combat centers on blasting through enemy hordes, while weapon and player upgrade systems, abilities, and perks offer ways to shape the character’s capabilities. The stated design also points to brighter, more colorful environments and more open-ended levels than the first game, giving exploration a place alongside combat.
Three worlds and time periods provide the game’s broad setting structure, while a survival mode offers a distinct format from its story-driven travels.
