Velocity 2X is a shoot 'em up video game developed and published by British studio FuturLab for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. The sequel to Velocity, it was later released by Activision under the Sierra Entertainment brand for the Xbox One and PCs and Curve Digital for the Nintendo Switch.[1]
Gameplay
Like the game's predecessor, Velocity 2X is a top-down shooter with the ability to teleport your ship. In the sequel, developer Futurlab added 2D platformer sections interlaced in most levels.
Players move through the game's levels by collecting survivors, finishing levels quickly, and collecting every crystal, all without dying.[2]
Plot
Following the events of the previous game, Lt. Kai Tana drifts unconscious in a distant corner of the galaxy, partially fused with the self-repairing systems of her ship. She awakens to find herself a prisoner of the Vokh Empire, who plan to use the teleportation capabilities of her ship - and of her new cyborg body - to expand across the galaxy. A captive alien scientist helps her escape and recover her ship, and the two set out on a mission to return Tana to her home planet while stopping the Vokh Empire in its tracks.
