Gameplay

Like its predecessor, Remnant 2 is a third-person shooter inspired by Soulslike video games. Players can wield up to two guns, alongside their melee weapon. At the beginning of the game, players can select their character archetypes.[1] For instance, the Gunslinger class replaces the Ex-cultist class from the first game, and focuses on the use of firearms. The Challenger class can unleash a shockwave that disintegrate enemies, while the Hunter class has a dog companion who will aid in combat.[2] Players will gain the ability to dual class as they progress in the game. Player can also activates different archetype-specific perks and skills. For the Gunsligner, their unique ability is "Loaded", which instantly reloads all the firearms the character is carrying,[3] For the Handler class, the prime perk ability is "Bonded", which allows their dog companion to revive the character after they have fallen in combat.[4]

While the first game features procedural generation by changing a level's layout and enemy spawn points, it has been significantly expanded in Remnant 2. According to Gunfire Games, enemy types, the aesthetic of a region, boss characters, non-playable characters and the game's storyline and quests are also randomly generated.[5] Players can play through the entire game solo, though the game also supports a three-player cooperative multiplayer mode.
