Help hero Grey in his journey to search for his dearest fairy in HYBRID 2: Saga Of Nostalgia for iPhone. Battle through different dimensions fighting evil enemies until you find her.
The game is brought to you by Gamevil and is a sequel to the first game HYBRID Eternal Whisper. It is a role playing action game. When you first start the game you are greeted with dialogues to tell you the story so far. You can skip this if you like, I didn’t initially as I have never played the first game so wanted to get an idea of what the plot of the game was. The main story is you have to battle with evil forces in different dimensions and complete each level as you try to rescue the fairy.
To battle with your opponents it is all about learning the combos that the different buttons control. Many moves like swiping and attacking are controlled by you pressing the button so many times in a certain sequence. The same goes for dashing toward your opponent and basic combos. The game has a very ‘old school’ feel to it due to the button controls and the swiping of your sword to kill the enemies.
If you have played the previous game then you will be used to the way Grey is controlled and how he fights. If your new to it like me, I felt it was all very fiddly and hard to remember what combo you were actually trying to do. That been said, sometimes I just kept doing the same move and managed successfully to kill a few enemies. I did also notice at times I was slashing away with my sword but my enemies didn’t seem to get hurt even though I was on target.
As you go through the levels and win your evil opponent you collect power ups and skill points to help you further in the game. Each level you are set a different task to complete before you move to the next. There is quite a lot of dialogue inbetween each game and most of that I kept skipping as I just wanted to get on and play but you could still understand what was going on within the game.
The menu for the game is rather small and at times very hard to use. There are quite a lot of options and buttons on screen and it can get very confusing. The graphics are ok but at times a little slow, the screen froze for a couple of seconds at times.
I think this game would be more appreciated if you have played the previous game first. It is more of a follow on from that and you would probably understand and get to grips with it a lot easier.

GAMEVIL today announced the availability of HYBRID 2: Saga of Nostalgia for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. The game is a sequel to the action role-playing game HYBRID: Eternal Whisper. If you like role playing games and enjoyed the orginal version then the sequel is certainly worth checking out.
The developers sent us a note about the release highlighting the new features and gameplay:
With hundreds of maps, the enormous storyline of HYBRID 2: Saga of Nostalgia picks right up where the original version left off; depicting the sentimental fantasy of the hero “Grey”. A new quest system and a series of new endings now give Hybrid players more than 180 possible quests. The new version also gives players the freedom to travel between different worlds easily. Moreover, with improved controls and 23 beautifully rendered skills, Hybrid players will be fully immersed in Grey’s quest like never before.
“HYBRID 2: Saga of Nostalgia is a great blend of story, visuals and technology.” said Kyu Lee, Vice President and Head of GAMEVIL USA. “This is indeed another great addition to the role playing game lineup that we’ve had the privilege of bringing to iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users.”
HYBRID 2: Saga of Nostalgia is available for $4.99 on the App Store for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
This preview build enabled me to preview the first 7 levels of the 19 that are include in Episode Two and if these initial seven are anything to go buy we’re in for a real treat when the full game is released later this year.
The game launches with a movie link that reminded me of the claustrophobic and dark atmosphere of the Alien movies. When the game launches there I was surprised to find that there is an earthly feel to the first level with a rain forest feel to it.
This doesn’t last long though and by the second level we are back inside with an industrial style. Both look even more polished than the original Dark Nebula and it’s not only the graphics that have been improved upon.
In addition to the same challenges from Episode One there are new features, puzzles and bosses and that’s after only seeing less than half the new game. The game has been expanded to included left and right scrolling to add additional real estate to the levels and features obstacles to avoid. You also get armed with weapons at times that enable you to smash your way past some of the new enemies that are now included.
Online leader boards and Facebook integration are still included so that you can compare and boast you achievements. Overall Dark Nebula Episode Two had a lot to live up too and so far it has set my mouth watering with anticipation.
