About This Game
THM2 is a retro metroidvania. Acquiring new equipment and upgrades opens up more explorable areas in all sorts of places. This adventure platformer takes you from the depth of a sunken underground city to the ruins in the sky all the way beyond the realms of reality.
The game has multiple endings and additional challenges if you're really good at treasure hunting. A normal playthrough will take about 4-5 hours, and with the optional content about 7 to 8 hours.
This version comes with Steam achievements and other minor updates.
A few notes:
- If you want to go fullscreen without a visible window border, hit ALT+ENTER. That works in a lot of games! Do the same again for going back to windowed mode.
- The standard key setup is as follows: A/S/D + Arrow Keys - You can change these using the in-game key configurator if they're not to your liking. Gamepads will work if they're plugged in before the game is started.
- The inventory is opened while the third action button (D on the keyboard) is held down.

[b] Treasure Hunter Man 2 [/b] is a casual metroidvania with plenty of content and decent platforming elements. You can also obtain this game for free from the developer's website, as far as I know the only difference is achievements. This developer has been making free games for awhile now, so I have no problems giving him $2 for a game that should be $10. You can explore a semi-open world by finding power-ups that will improve your mobility tools. I really like the variety of different mechanics, for example you can use shield to block, break the ground, and perform a slide jump. As with any good metroidvania, there are many secrets and lots of backtracking (not to mention many annoying birds). For the most part, the UI and gameplay are very intuitive, but it could use a map. There are some basic RPG elements like passive stat upgrades, it makes the treasure more relevant which is nice. It is not the best looking platformer I ever played, but I can't really complain, it has all kinds...
Far exceeds expectations. Kinda nice metroidvania with the major downside being that it doesn't have a map and so remebering stuff like a small yellow switch on a wall somewhere gets annoying after a while.
A must buy. So simple yet guarantees hours of enjoyment out of it. Wish it was a bit longer or encourage exploration more for progress. To all curious fellows out there, game packs extra challenges beside the end boss so you can backtrack and still get a bang out of it when you're near the end. Still I crave more of it though. I'm hopeful for THM 3.
This wonderful gem has afforded me twofold, the joy of playing through this exceptional example of a product of a dev. who truly loves what he does and it shows, and to finally be able to check off my wish-list that an OrigamiHero game has come to Steam and while it might be his first on steam It instills confidence that It won't be the last. So yeah! buy it!
Well, I'm currently stuck but I think it is definitely something that I am doing! LOL To be fair, I'm still very early in the game. There are A LOT of indie / action / platformers on Steam all calling out for your money but I would give this one an EASY reccomendation. Controls are tight ( and they have to be in this genre ) game difficulty is fair, and the graphics are purty. Would have paid more tbqh. A-

Apart from the janky controls, bad collision detection and broken mechanics this is a good game, if you like rage quitting through frustration this is a game for you.
(I'm updating this review, now that I've replayed it and achieved 100% on it a year since I first beat it. Don't worry, I'll keep it somewhat shorter this time) Treasure Hunter Man 2 is a great sequel to what was a solid first entry, this time with a Game Boy Advance style aesthetic, thanks to the screen resolution and gratuitously rotating sprites. This is a deceptively tricky but mostly fair Metroidvania, that's also short and sweet. You can easily complete this game in the span of 8 hours if you go for 100%. The updated version runs at a consistent 60 FPS compared to the original, which was mostly locked to 30, but would speed up out of nowhere at times. Be forewarned, that the new version doesn't trigger achievements, so if you care about getting them, you'll need to play the original version. Now for the big problem: Even as of this writing, nearing 2025, the updated version is STILL broken and cannot be completed 100%, as it'll only ever tick up to 67% with all treasures in th...
Beat the game in about 3 hours - probably a couple more hours if you're a completionist ( 6 ish). A really good mini metroidvania. I appreciated the unique colour palette and full remapping of the keybinds which is rare for small indie games. Well worth the price.
