About Lootbox Lyfe+
Together with its progression of mobility options, Lootbox Lyfe+ is an experience that combines aspects of the Metroidvania gameplay style with the hardcore platforming gameplay style. Please scroll down for a substantial amount of extra information.
Shadowleaf Irvine, a malevolent figure, exercises dictatorial control over Lootbox Lyfe. They are a peculiar entity who is credited for introducing Lootboxes to a species of spherical animals called Xoobotls, which may be discovered in the realm of Lootbox Lyfe. At some period of time, Xoobotls ceased shelling out cash for things that were vital to their survival, such as food and water. The discovery of dead corpses didn’t come until not long after. Is there a chance that the species might be restored to the splendour it once held? Or will Shadowleaf’s hegemonic endeavor bring this planet to its knees and leave it there for all time?
The player will take on the role of Liam Cappello, the very last Xoobotl that has ever lived. Xoobotls are a kind of spherical animals who inhabit the universe of Lootbox Lyfe. After a long sleep, you finally open your eyes, only to find that the world you previously inhabited has been completely destroyed. Lootboxes are to blame for this catastrophe that has occurred.
You begin the game with no abilities, but by opening treasure boxes, you will gradually acquire more over time. As Liam does not begin the game with the ability to move, you will need to purchase a loot box in order to give him this skill.
The overarching purpose of the game is to rescue your species by solving puzzles from several worlds that are related to one another, all while overcoming platforming challenges and opening up new places as you get new ways to move about.
The universe of Lootbox Lyfe+ is enormous, much like the worlds of other Metroidvania games; yet, one of the most notable aspects that sets it apart is the absence of specific foes. To go farther in the game and defeat your foe, the planet itself, you will need to sidestep spikes, cross rivers on platforms, and stay out of traps. During the course of the game, you will gain different skills such as sprinting, slamming, becoming a lootbox, and many more; you will be required to make constant use of these various tools.
The difficulty of platforming will, of course, increase as the game progresses. Finding lootboxes, on the other hand, will provide you access to additional powers, which in turn will enable you to tackle obstacles in a variety of different ways. If you find yourself in a situation where you are unable to progress, you have the option of using the money you have accumulated via exploration to purchase tips that will direct you to the next lootbox that has a mobility ability. You may also locate lootboxes with the fast travel feature everywhere around the globe, which will make it much easier for you to go backwards.
Because there are no adversaries in Lootbox Lyfe+, you are free to approach the platforming challenges in a methodical manner. Additionally, the game encourages you to experiment with a wide variety of different combinations of your movement abilities. Among these movement abilities are the following: You will be able to move more fluidly across the globe as you gain new move skills, which will allow you to go farther in the game. This makes going backwards a snap, and if you apply what you’ve learned to the game’s built-in speedrunning mode, you’ll have the opportunity to experience what it’s like to be a true speed demon. Open exploration: When you leave the starting region, there is no predetermined route to follow in Lootbox Lyfe; you may explore the other sections in any order that you like. Because of this, you will never get lost in the game since even a side road will bring you to another essential component!
The following are key issues that need more investigation:
- A shady cavern that serves as the location for the lootbox addiction research facility.
- A wasteland characterized by pink fungi.
- Structures from other dimensions that house very potent lootboxes
- An icy mining outpost whose primary purpose is the extraction of raw materials for use in the creation of lootboxes.
In the Nintendo Switch eShop, the price of Lootbox Lyfe+ will be $9.99 / €9.99 respectively.
