Unfortunately, although the endearing art catches the eye, the gameplay is more likely to frustrate than captivate, and the comedic element misses the mark more than it hits. For those not familiar with the first episode, the Buck Bradley Comic Adventure series is set in the polluted world of Terrastramba – so polluted, in fact, that the inhabitants have started turning into mutants. Buck’s best friend Ciroki gets infected too – in the middle of an admission of her love for Buck – turning her into a small blue dumpling-like monster with large eyelashes and pink cheeks (how else would you be able to tell she’s a female mutant?!).

Lots of satisfying puzzles

The pair then set off in search of a cure, and the last time we saw our heroes at the end of part one, they were on their way to New Milan, riding a train powered by the environmentally green biomethane they’d managed to produce. Of course, their tale doesn’t end there; this episode opens in the desert with all of their new train buddies being captured by Bedouins (riding giant scorpions and brandishing clothes hangers) and forced to become slaves. It’s up to our intrepid duo to find a way to free them before setting off again for New Milan. They’ll need a lot of help from the characters they meet along the way, including some elderly folk in the nearby retirement village, and a group of pale beings dwelling underground.

Plus a Nosferatu look-alike, for some reason. As you don’t talk to any of these individuals for very long, most of the lesser characters end up seeming somewhat one-dimensional. Although you do meet a few mutants too (one example being a mutated wooden pole), they seemed more inventive in the first game, which was peppered with strange creatures like the purple toucanosaur and brightly coloured dolphins splashing around in acid. The titular Buck himself, with his Threepwood-esque hair, is not awfully likeable. He’s all for abandoning the slaves to their fate, he thinks the saying ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ is a load of rubbish, and he suggests an old lady is mentally ill because she has a garden full of cacti.

Incredible music track

At least Ciroki is there to act as a sort of conscience, rebuking Buck for his nastier comments, reminding both Buck and the player of their key objectives and teaching us a little about sustainable energy. The dynamic between the two main characters is a little odd; Ciroki clearly still has the hots for Buck despite being a small fuzzy mouse-ish creature. Buck, on the other hand, is spending some of his time flirting with an attractive sewage trader (a character revisited from the first part), much to Chiroki’s annoyance. As is no doubt clear, this is a game with an environmental theme at its heart, and it takes a brief look at the social consequences of not being more ecologically sound.

New Milan, which you’ll reach in the second half of the game, consists of a giant pyramid-shaped enclosure where the powerful and rich control the dwindling energy supplies and live higher up in the fancier floors of the building, leaving the poorer folk living at the bottom in poverty. Given that Buck Bradley attempts to cover some important topics, is there anything educational or inspirational that can be taken from the experience? Pollution is bad… Fossil fuels are bad… Society is made up of haves and have-nots… It’s not as though I disagree with what the developers are trying to say, but the themes just aren’t explored in enough depth to be thought-provoking.

Stylized comic book graphic

They have, however, managed to crowbar in more information about how biogas is produced (in case you hadn’t gotten your fill from the last installment), so I can at least say I now know what the organic fraction of municipal solid waste is. Pollution may be ugly, but the art in this game definitely isn’t. It’s the same high-quality colourful cartoon style as before, with thick black outlines and some delightfully lighthearted world-building details in the background, such as an old woman doing a bit of sand-surfing and a cave ceiling covered with tuber roots. Unfortunately, there’s no animation – screens are static, with even the cutscenes being a series of comic book-style panels that you click through. Xenoraid Switch NSP

The soundtrack isn’t quite as beautiful as the graphics, but it does feel like an appropriate accompaniment to the various backdrops: Middle Eastern-style music plays in the desert area, the retirement village is complemented by a relentlessly chirpy track, and industrial-sounding electronic tunes play when you reach New Milan. There’s no voice acting, a fact that’s referenced by Buck and Ciroki several times in-game (a fair amount of fourth-wall breaking happens here). In terms of the interface, there are some welcome improvements over the first part: the main gameplay area is larger, and in 16:9 widescreen in comparison to the blocky 4:3 aspect ratio last time.
