As much as everyone would cherish a sequel to their personal favorite Behemoth game – take your pick between Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers, BattleBlock Theater, and Pit People – I’d keep dreaming.
Given the developer’s history of genre-jumping, it’s tough to predict what’s next, and that’s what makes this mystery project so enticing. The Behemoth is always trying to branch out with games that feel fresh, and a little bit out-there, yet true to its core. We’ll soon see if Game 5 continues the trend.
(For what it’s worth, I would be ecstatic about another co-op platformer.)
