If your idea of interstellar travel involves sleek, hyper-advanced technology, calm diplomatic missions, and state-of-the-art oxygen systems, then you clearly haven’t met the Man.
RedRuins Softworks and HypeTrain Digital are back with Breathedge 2, bringing their signature blend of dark humour, absurd crafting, and chaotic retro-futuristic space survival. The sequel is officially available in Early Access now on the Epic Games Store, and it’s time to find out if a sheer excess of duct tape, an unkillable poultry companion, and sheer luck can save a galaxy gone completely off the rails.
What’s Going On in Breathedge 2?
Following the chaotic events of the original game, the evil Breathedge Corporation has initiated a full-scale galactic takeover, deploying swarms of deadly Coffinbots across human settlements. Our hero—the completely average “Man”—alongside his suit-bound AI and his trusty, indestructible Chicken, accidentally threw a wrench in the corporation’s grand plans.
Now targeted by hostile bots and strange forces alike, you are thrust into the deep fringes of inhabited space. Between dodging attacks, managing your oxygen levels, and untangling a tangled narrative full of bizarre characters, survival is going to take everything you’ve got—and plenty of scavenged garbage.
Key Features to Expect in Early Access
- Expanded Crafting & Scavenging: Space might be deadly, but it’s loaded with scrap metal, broken machinery, and endless yards of duct tape. Scavenge abandoned space stations, shipwrecks, and hostile planetary surfaces to craft tools, upgrade your suit, and build survival gear.
- Exploration & Planetary Travel: Unlike the open-vacuum floating of the first entry, Breathedge 2 takes you across distinct star systems and diverse planetary surfaces. Pilot vehicles (complete with pleasantly clunky trunk sounds) to traverse dangerous terrain and haul your loot back home.
- Spaceship & Crew Management: You aren’t just surviving alone in a suit anymore—you get to manage your own spaceship! Expand its compartments, install new gear, and manage an eclectic crew of companions. Ignore your crew’s needs at your own risk; happy crewmates keep your ship running, while neglected ones might just leave you floating in a sinking metal tub.
- Ironic, Humorous Storytelling: Expect plenty of deadpan jokes, absurd scenarios, crude humour, and satire poking fun at traditional survival tropes. Whether you’re dealing with floating astronaut corpses or unravelling why you need a chicken in zero gravity, the narrative never takes itself too seriously.
