Who are the Characters in Evil Genius 2?
In Evil Genius 2 you’ll get to play as a range of chaotic evil characters, with each mastermind having their own skills you’ll be able to use that means you can choose the playstyle that suits you. Let’s meet them:
- Maximilian
- Returning from the first game, Maximilian is what many of us picture when we think of an evil genius. With the ability to boost minion training, Maximilian will have a capable workforce in no time.
- Red Ivan
- Appearing as a henchman in the first game, Red Ivan’s now taking matters into his own hands. Armed with a bazooka and deadly combat skills, Ivan is the most combat-oriented of all the geniuses.
- Emma
- Emma specialises in handling henchmen, and as a former spy her espionage skills are off the charts. She has the ability to restore henchmen health, meaning they can get back in the fight with minimised downtime.
- Zalika
- Zalika is the smart one, with the ability to complete research faster than any of the others. Zalika also specialises in laying traps, making their evil lair a terrifying proposition to attack.
What will Evil Genius 2’s Gameplay be Like?
There are four pillars to Evil Genius 2’s gameplay, build, train, defend, and dominate. Here’s what they mean:
- Build – You’ll build your personal lair, your headquarters for a global evil organisation. Every part of it’s up to you, to maintain and develop as you expand your lair and your nefarious activities.
- Train – It’s no good being evil if you don’t have minions to carry out your orders. Minions form the grunts of your organisation whilst henchmen are more highly ranked versions able to actively participate in battle.
- Defend – The Forces of Justice are always on the prowl, trying to shut you down. Train troops, fill your lair with traps, and if all that fails – take to the battlefield yourself.
- Dominate – Your end goal is to take over the world via hundreds of potential objectives. Put together a Doomsday Device and watch the nations fall beneath your iron-shod heel. Beautiful.
