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.
STORY
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...
A bigger adventure
Much bigger levels filled to the brink with new characters, enemies and environmental threats, and traversal options.
The Good, The Not so Bad, The not really Ugly...and Janka
Four playable characters with unique abilities that complement each other, making the gameplay more fun and diverse
Die, Die and Repea...die Again
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
Is This A Joke to You?
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
Scenes That Cut
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
All is well that ends well!
Did we mention 3 different endings? Choices and actions made throughout your journey will shape the fate of Janosik and his companions.

Absolutely BRILLIANT. I love 2d exploration platformers.. and this is one of the best I've played in years.. no crafting nonsense, no tower defence rubbish.. just quality,. action platforming, with loads to explore.. fairly easy bosses that don't tinder the fun and get in the way of exploring the levels.. and LOADS of secrets to find.. one of the best 2d platformers I've ever played.. honestly.. I really hope there will be a JANOSIK 3.. or at least something similar to this, in the near future.

Awesome!! I've only played the first couple of levels but so far it is a great game. I hope I don't end up collecting all of this gold for nothing though. The jump mechanic is a tad bit sloppy but I'm looking at it in relation to the graphics... meaning, the graphics are old school, so the jump mechanic is old school. But I still give this game two thumbs up and look forward to playing through it all. For less than $5 this is perfect!

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.
