Welcome to Curious Expedition 2 Version 4.0 – Robots of Lux update! Curious Expedition 2 is a sequel to the hugely popular Curious Expedition with updated graphics and animation, enhanced gameplay where every decision can make or break the party and a larger focus on resource management through each individual foray into the unknown.
In this episode we establish that I am an idiot. You see dear viewer, I made a big boo at the end of the last episode which has meant that we find ourselves at a significant disadvantage come this one. If you’re a long time viewer you’ll know this isn’t far off how I usually play the game but this one it BIG… I mean, what are the team supposed to do, beat away enemies with big sticks?
So join me as we take our first tentative steps in to the unknown in Curious Expedition 2!
– Curious Expedition 2 Gameplay Overview –
Curious Expedition 2 is a turn-based narrative roguelike that requires players to manage their resources and party members to keep insanity at bay and find glory.
A grand discovery has been made: mysterious islands have begun to appear and vanish from the oceans as if by magic. The great Explorer Clubs are funding expeditions to these strange islands to bring treasures back for the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris. Are you bold enough to join the adventure?
– Shores of Taishi Update –
Shores of Taishi adds a bounty of new content to the mysterious lands of Curious Expedition 2. A new island type, Celestial Shores, comes with a completely new set of tiles, a new game mechanic related to teleporting between islets and the new Peacock Tribe. Shores of Taishi will allow players to recruit six new characters to their party, including Red Panda, Tanuki, Ghost Catcher and Warrior Peacock.

Word of advice – during the dice challenges, like when exploring the caves, you can use items like torches AFTER a failed dice roll. That way, you can preserve your items, using them only when necessary.
