Disney Infinity 2.0: Play Without Limits
About the Game
Disney Infinity 2.0 is the successor to Disney Infinity and it introduces the second generation of the concept as an entirely new game. Just like the original game it is an action-adventure where players place physical figurines on the infinity base with a USB connection to the system and they are then introduced as characters in the game. The characters level up as they are used and progress is stored in the character itself, meaning they can level up further using them on a different system or on a different location. There are two large groups of characters: Marvel Super Heroes and Disney Originals.
Story & Setting
The narrative part of the game (Play Set mode) is enabled through a play set that resembles a crystal figurine placed on the base. Infinity 2.0 supports multiple, self-contained story modes based on the purchased play sets.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The core gameplay is a traditional action platformer. Characters are guided through the game world and have different types of moves. Some characters excel at melee combat, while others rely on ranged attacks. As the characters level up new abilities and attributes become available, assigned through a skill tree. Skills levels can be reset at level 10 and 20 to try different paths.
Standout Features
- It allows players to use all of their characters and create their own games by placing objects and buying new ones, designing a scenery, applying game logic, and sharing creations with others which is new for this version.
- Various parts of this mode were changed for the new edition, such as the introduction of frameworks to quickly design a specific game type.
- These provide a specific game genre to the Toy Box that can be edited to create variants.
- Also returning are power discs, physical discs placed on the base to introduce new toys, textures, skies, vehicles etc.
- Disney Infinity: The new play sets cannot be used with the original Disney Infinity and vice versa, but this second version is backwards compatible with all Toy Box content unlocked with the figurines of the first version.
- Disney Infinity: It is meant for players who bought Disney Infinity and want to upgrade to the new version without having to buy a starter pack with a second infinity base.
- Alternatively they can pay to download the 2.0 software and use all the new features.
- Content registered through a Disney account can be transferred to the PC version to unlock it in the the free-to-play version.
Modes & Ways to Play
As in the first game it is split up into two game modes. Some characters are only available in the Toy Box mode and this mode supports both local and online multiplayer as well. It does not contain any play sets right away, meaning the vanilla version is restricted to the Toy Box mode. Unlike the iOS / Android Disney Infinity: Toy Box 2.0 title, the PC versions provide access to the full game including play sets, not just the Toy Box mode.
