• Costume Creation. You can exchange your equipment plus a specific amount of zeny for its costume variant at the Costume Exchanger in Geffen (geffen 178,127). This can also be done the other way around, to get back the original equipment from its costume variant.
• Costume quest is a unique game unlike any other I have played. With cute characters, and a fantastic storyline, I would HIGHLY recommend this game any day of the week. The quests you receive are slightly challenging sometimes, but I think that's good, because unlike some games, before completing costume quest's quests, you have to stop.

Gameplay[edit]

Costume Quest 2 is a role-playing video game in which the player assumes the role of one of two twin siblings: Wren and Reynold. The game follows the player character, their sibling, and certain ally party members found along their travels as they journey through time in an effort to stop a dentist named Dr. Orel White from destroying Halloween. The player can access both the past and the future, where the past is before the foundation of the children's hometown, and the future takes place in a dental dystopia. As in Costume Quest, the gameplay mostly involves exploring the environment, completing quests, trick-or-treating, and fighting monsters in turn-based combat as gigantic versions of their costumed selves. The game introduces many new combat mechanics not found in the original Costume Quest, such as counters and double attacks.

Plot[edit]

Costume Quest 2 picks up where the DLC expansion of Costume Quest, 'Grubbins on Ice', left off; Everett, Lucy, Wren, and Reynold are trapped inside a nexus of portals with no clear way out. They decide to jump into one of the portals, which prompts the player to choose which of the two siblings, Wren and Reynold, they wish to play as. After jumping in the portal, the kids return to Halloween night. There, they find their dentist, Dr. Orel White, speaking with a time wizard, who opens a portal to the past that Orel jumps into. As the wizard disappears, Wren and Reynold are confronted by a man hiding in a bush who opens another portal which leads to a future where Halloween has been outlawed and Orel rules a dental dystopia.

The man, who reveals himself to be an older Everett, along with his wife Lucy, task the kids with travelling to the past to reclaim a talisman with the ability to open a gateway to the monster world before Orel himself can steal it. In the past, they encounter a younger Orel White who stalls their progress, however they eventually locate the talisman, but are unable to prevent future Orel from stealing it. They return the future having failed their mission, where they are captured and sent to a school, where they find Everett and Lucy's daughter Hailey and must break out and confront Orel directly.

While in the future, the kids eventually encounter a retinal scanner which requires Orel to access. Travelling back to the past, the kids gain Orel as an ally, who, in the final battle against future Orel, denounces the actions of his future self and takes part in defeating him. Having changed the heart of younger Orel, the kids return to their present where Dr. White is now no longer evil.

Reception[edit]

Costume Quest 2 received positive scores from reviewers, who stated that the game's new methods and abilities added more charm to the game than the original. In their review, IGN stated, 'Costume Quest 2's combat and story are both surprisingly good for an RPG that concludes in roughly a half-dozen hours. Navigation is iffy, and the healing system is a bit broken even after a major revision, but its humor and personality shine through to make this a good Halloween bounty.'^[18]

In 2014, Nintendo contacted Double Fine Productions, and were able to get the game released on the Nintendo Wii U. They are now working together once again to try to get the game released through the Nintendo eShop, so consumers who own a 3DS will have a chance to play the game as well.

If, like me, you have a bit of a sweet tooth, Costume Quest is going to be deadly for your waistline. An hour in and I was craving a pack of wine gums. By the time I finished the game, I’d demolished a whole bag of Haribo.

As you explore you’ll come across candies in the street, in bins, bushes and piles of leaves. They cascade into your tote bag or pumpkin pail from the hands of generous neighbours. They’re the game’s currency, used to buy Battle Stamps, the buffs for your character’s attacks. They’re omnipresent. If there’s been a more effective gaming advert for the confectionery industry – and no, Sam Fisher’s surprising affection for Airwaves chewing gum doesn’t count – then I haven’t seen it.

Fortunately, Costume Quest isn’t the kind of sugary indulgence that’s likely to make you feel sick. Rather, it’s a light and delicious treat that’s perfect for enjoying between this winter’s gaming meals without the risk of ruining your appetite.

You play as either Reynold or Wren, a pair of twins forced by their parents to go trick-or-treating together on Hallowe’en night. Whichever you pick, your sibling – dressed as a large boiled sweet – is kidnapped by monsters attempting to steal all the local candy for a mysterious glucose-related master plan concocted by a snooty witch named Dorsilla. Your job is to rescue your sister or brother and foil Dorsilla’s syrupy scheme.

To reach your Wiccan foe, you’re tasked with unlocking a large gate at the edge of your neighbourhood. To do this you need to liberate all the candies from the various households – in other words, knock on every door and ask “trick or treat?” Sometimes you’ll have your bag filled with candy; sometimes you’ll encounter monsters and have to fight them in fairly rudimentary turn-based combat sequences.

What makes this more interesting than it sounds is the set-up. In the early stages you’re dressed up in a cardboard robot outfit and a friend – who you rescue from the local bully – is a rather feeble-looking knight, complete with crumpled bin-lid shield. But as battle commences, the kids enter a flight of fancy whereby they transform into huge and powerful versions of the characters they’re dressed as. So Reynold becomes a giant, missile-firing mech and Everett is suddenly a hulking, chainmail-clad paladin.

Costume Quest 1

Encounters are reminiscent of the Penny Arcade games or the Mario RPGs, with timing-based inputs boosting the power of your attacks and reducing the force of your enemy’s blows when defending. A special meter which builds during each turn eventually allows you to unleash a more powerful attack, while the aforementioned battle stamps let you dodge more effectively, poison or burn enemies, or even stun one of your opponents by pelting it with rotten eggs.

Once you’ve cleared out all the houses, you’re free to move to the next area, though most players will want to polish off the brief side-quests or explore for hidden items. Treasure coffins hold extra candy and costume parts, though you’ll need to speak to NPCs to obtain the patterns first.

Costume Quest 2 Co Op

Each costume (there are 11 in all) has its own special abilities, though there’s so much joy in their discovery that it’d be remiss of me to spoil too many. There’s a genuine, childlike thrill to witnessing the transformations: a tinfoil hat, large sheet and feather duster make for a perfect home-made Statue of Liberty, and while the charmingly simplistic art style – halfway between Fairytale Fights and Animal Crossing – doesn’t show off the sticky tape, the loose threads and the crinkles in the foil, you know they’re there.
