Whether you’re new to the series or a returning tyrant, the Cinematic Trailer is a fantastic glimpse into the nefarious world of Evil Genius 2. It goes into every aspect of the game’s management strategy gameplay – think of it as a World Domination 101 – from lair-building to training your minions, and from recruiting crime lords to stealing priceless artefacts. It’s everything you’ll need to help you take over the world in just two weeks’ time.
The Cinematic Trailer showcases just a mere hype-building taste of the brand new villainy you can inflict on your victims in Evil Genius 2. From the four Evil Geniuses you can play as, each with their own unique narrative campaigns, to all the many new minion types, rooms, devices, traps, henchmen, agents, super agents and Doomsday Devices, Evil Genius 2 gives you the choice to be whatever kind of diabolical mastermind you want to be.
CALLING ALL SHUTTERBUGS
Photo Mode is coming to Evil Genius 2 – and it will be available at launch FREE. Shoot your minions – no, not like that – and the rest of your island lair in all its wicked resplendence.
In Photo Mode you can adjust camera options like field of view, depth of field and focal distance, toggle the visibility of different characters, and apply a range of filters, overlays and more. Just make sure your snapshots don’t fall into the hands of the Forces of Justice.
