About Yooka-Re-Playlee
Yooka-Re-Playlee is the ultimate, rebuilt and enhanced version of the 3D indie platforming collectathon darling, Yooka-Laylee, developed by key creative talent behind the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games. New remixed challenges and old favorites await as you embark to explore the huge, beautiful open worlds as the lovable buddy-duo Yooka and Laylee once more, all while backed by a beautiful orchestral soundtrack. Did we mention there’s an even more expansive map now? A shiny new currency? And tons of customization options? Your favorite buddy duo has never moved, looked, or sounded better!
Key Features:
- A Story Retold: Experience the original tale in a new storybook-style presentation, with fresh sequences added throughout.
- Upgraded graphics: With an art and animations overhaul and enhanced performance and resolution, the favorite buddy duo has never looked or moved better.
- Rextro Bytes Back: The old minigames are no more! Instead you'll jump in as Rextro the dinosaur and undertake brand-new isometric platforming challenges for collectible rewards.
- New collectible currency: Capital B's inept minions have dropped their hard-earned Q.U.I.D.S. all over the place. Collect the official currency of the Hivory Towers to spend with the world’s most loveable vending machine.
- Build your own playstyle: Tonics are back with all new flavors! With the option to equip multiple game-changing enhancements, you can truly customize your playstyle. And as if that wasn't enough, Vendi has new lines of merchandise for the modern fashionable adventurer.
- Navigate the world easily: Yooka-Replaylee introduces a brand-new map and collectibles tracker, making it easier for you to traverse the environments, track NPC and Pagie locations along with tracking their progress. We're also introducing a new character in the form of (book)Mark who acts as your warp point and guide.
- Revamped controls and camera: The buddy-duo now has access to their entire move set from the start of the game and can sequence the moves together a lot smoother than in the original game. This, combined with the revamped camera controls, makes Yooka-Replaylee feel like a more modern, snappier experience, while also directly addressing player feedback on the original game.
- A dreamy orchestral soundtrack: The original score from famed video game composers Grant Kirkhope (Banjo-Kazooie) and David Wise (Donkey Kong Country) returns but as a beautifully arranged orchestral score. Now seriously, clean out those ears!
