Rayman and his friends are living their best lives in the Glade of Dreams, enjoying a peaceful day on a giant tree when suddenly an old granny from the Land of the Livid Dead stirs. She's not pleased with the constant snoring and decides to take matters into her own hands, sending a horde of evil creatures to capture all the Electoons and Nymphs that call the Glade home. With his friends by his side, Rayman must escape from captivity and restore balance to their world before it's too late.
Rayman Origins is a fresh start for the beloved franchise, returning to its 2D platforming roots with a mix of classic charm and modern flair. Fans will notice familiar faces like Livingstones, Electoons, and Betilla from the original game, as well as new additions like Globox and Lums from Rayman 2 . The gameplay blends elements reminiscent of Mario with the fast-paced action of the first Rayman game.
The game's atmosphere is more playful and zany than its predecessors, with a focus on rescuing Electoons and navigating through increasingly challenging levels. Each area is guarded by a variety of enemies from the Land of the Livid Dead, as well as other foes. To make things more interesting, players can also collect Lums to earn rewards and compete in local multiplayer battles with up to four friends.
