Ben 10: Omniverse 2 is a 2013 action video game developed by High Voltage Software and published by D3 Publisher and Namco Bandai Games. It is based on the animated series Ben 10: Omniverse and is a sequel to the 2012 game. It was released in November 2013 for Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, Wii, Wii U, and Xbox 360. The game follows Ben Tennyson, which is on a mission to save the planet from Incurseans, an alien race of amphibian-like creatures that are willing to conquer Earth.
The game received negative reviews, being criticized due to its graphics, level design, slow pacing, and a repetitive gameplay loop that "grows old" fast.[1]
Ben 10: Omniverse 2 alternates between two styles of gameplay throughout its campaign: beat 'em up and auto runner sections. The principal focus of the game are the beat 'em up sections, in which Ben Tennyson has 10 aliens to choose from, each of them has different abilities that can be used during the game for beating specific obstacles and puzzles. The auto runner sections have the player runs through various levels and combats against incurseans, during its six levels.[2]
The game lets the player rapidly change between various alien forms, adapting their combat techniques.[3] The 3DS version of the game is a side-scrolling video game while alternating the beat 'em up elements of its console version, along with having a total of 16 aliens.[4]
Plot
The plot is based on the third season of Ben 10: Omniverse, following Ben Tennyson—who has the ability to transform into various aliens, each of them with various different powers—on a mission to save Earth from Incurseans.[1]
