The adventure of our hero continues beyond the legend, with new scenarios and dangers!
The protagonist of the game will walk and explore endless mazes procedurally generated and will have a single mission: to save the prisoners scattered in the path leading them to the point of rescue.
The main character must also defend these prisoners from the enemies that appear in every part of the playing field. The main feature of the game is the complete procedural generation of scenarios and lighting, which allows an unlimited variety of play. With the advance of the levels, the game scenarios are becoming larger and intricate, with ever greater dangers. The number of game levels is unlimited, and the game stores statistics and many score rankings to increase the charm and challenge.
The aim of the game is to save a number of prisoners in the maze of each level, and to do this you have to group them and bring them to a save point placed randomly within the maze. In the path appear enemies that chase you and kill the prisoners who need to save. When you will shoot the enemies you have to be careful not to kill the prisoners to save. The groups of prisoners are scattered randomly in the path of each level, and to find them you'll have to explore the maze by seeking help from the map on the top screen. Enemy bases are scattered randomly in the path, and these bases are colored red. The save point instead is colored blue.
Each level is a maze that is always different, unpredictable and randomly generated, as well as lights and lighting used in the level. In this way the game dynamics are always new. The number of levels is infinite, as well as the score that can be achieved. Are stored up to 100 high scores and statistics, so we challenge everyone to become legends and heroes! With the advance of the levels, the game gets bigger, richer and difficult. The number of enemy bases increase with advancing levels, as the number of prisoners to be saved.

Unlimited Escape 2 is a direct copy + paste of Unlimited Escape 1. It's exactly the same game, except it has "2" at the end of the title. Does that quality this as an asset flip if it's the developers own asset they flipped? I can tell you one thing for sure, if you copy + paste garbage, the result is garbage.
This (and the game it's a 1:1 copy of) is a really mediocre, badly made 3D rendered 2D top down action puzzle game... thing... it's hard to tell. There's no actual tutorial, so you're left to try guess from the badly translated "Help" page that you have to wander around and lasso prisoners to rescue them or something... look, this really is pure garbage, badly implemented, badly conceptualised, and with absolutely zero value as a real game for gamers.
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with.
The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts.
The game features no proper level design or game/story flow/plot, as they opted to try to use samey repetitive procgen algorithms as a substitute for adding such content to the game, to avoid doing the important job of level/map design. As a result, the game doesn't actually have any content worth mentioning, just endless, boring, repetitive, soulless algorithmically generated sameyness. Developers must learn that procedural generation is not an acceptable substitute for content.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
Unlimited Escape 2 has the comically over-optimistic price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.

Control issues, camera issues, balance issues, trying to figure out what is what (everything in this game is a glowing blob of blocks) and the fact that using "magnet" mode means attracting hostages and baddies alike (and not using it leaves the baddies sitting there waiting to be shot) made me not want to play this game.
Versions 1, 3 and 4 (all on Steam) look fairly much the same, too. Personally, I think the term "cash grab" is overused, but when a developer sells basically the same game in 4 similar versions instead of updating the game that's there (or perhaps removing the older versions from the store, giving customers vouchers for the newer installments), I do believe they have their income more at heart than they do giving us value in exchange for our money.
My "First Play on Launch Day!" Video and First Impressions Review:

This game is definitely different and unique, not quite like any other game I've ever played before.
The goal is start from a blue safe box area and move about a randomly generated level and find prisoners being held captive by the evil doers which aim to kill you and the prisoners. Once you find them, you can simply press the E key to order them to follow you and you lead them back to the starting blue safe zone.
Movement is made by rotating your direction with the mouse, then holding the left mouse button down to move forward in the direction you face. You can fire unlimited bullets in a straight path in front of you by hitting the space button. To me, the movement controls would be much better if they had taken a more traditional approach and made WASD be movement, perhaps using A & D to rotate, W to move forward in the direction you face, and this would allow you to move backwards by simply hitting the S key. To me, I think this would have worked much better and it made it less awkward because it would free up your left mouse button to fire.
Regardless, the game is pretty fun and has a certain level of addiction to it. The cutest element of the game comes when you get into a close battle with the baddies and any prisoners following you will run off to a corner and quiver and shake, obviously scared to death. You'll simply need to go recapture them with the E key if this happens, but it always seemed to get a smile out of me.
The game is not without faults despite its unique gameplay and the fact I love the randomly generated levels to keep the game engaging and different every time you play.
My biggest complaint occurs once you fail a level which happens if your character gets touched by any baddie. When you fail, you immediately replay the failed level, but it completely generates a new random level, and this is my biggest gripe with this game. There are many times that I want "another chance" to fix whatever I did wrong on the SAME exact level I just played, not a new randomly generated one - which can be 10 times easier (or harder) just based simply on the procedural generation and placement of your prisoners and the danger zones which spawn the baddies.
My next complaint comes with what definetely feels CHEAP from the baddies when they crawl over walls to get to you and they don't have to work through the maze as you do. I don't know if this is intential game design or a flaw that needs to be worked out. Because this game is not "early access", I tend to believe this was left in the game intentionally, and it certainly feels cheap when it happens at certain times.
Add in the awkward choice of controls that takes time to get used to, and you have a very unique game that I just feel could have been done so much better. I hope that the developers can make some adjustments, add in an option to repeat a failed level rather then procedurally generate a new one, and give us some customization on the movement controls... as well as prevent the baddies from walking through walls essentially by moving over the top of them.
My Scores for this game break down as follows, and sadly this game doesn't seem to break out of the sub-par games that the publisher 'Strategy First" seems to have a reputation for:
Value of the Game: 20 out of 40 - It's not priced too high at $4.99 and the game offers a unique experience, but the game breaking faults I mention above with the awkward choice of controls brings this score down over it could have been.
Fun Factor of the game: 12 out of 30 - Again this "could" have been a unique Indie game if only it was made with a little more pre-planning and if the code made the AI enemies use actual intelligence to work through the mazes rather then just climing over walls and if you could repeat the exact same levels you just failed.
Controls/Bugs: 5 out of 20: Ugh, giving the controls a 5 out of 20 here is giving the game benefit of the doubt and assuming that they actually tried the more traditional control layout
I mentioned above. Bugs like the mobs climbing over walls lowers this score as well.
Graphics/Sound: 7 out of 10 - The graphics and sound work fine for this style of game and while they aren't anything special, they work just fine. Unfortunately for this developers of this game, graphics and sound are only 10% of my overall scoring criteria.
--------------------------------
FINAL FIRST IMPRESSIONS SCORE: 44%
As much as I want to like this game based on "what it could have been" and its unique gameplay, I just can't recommend it, even at it's low price point of under $5 USD. Sorry devs, make some adjustments to fix my above complaints, and comment below my review.. and I will be more then happy to give this game a second look and review. I DO believe this game could be really fun with just a few tweaks and changes.
