About the Pandemonium! Series
Pandemonium! is a 2.5D platformer series released in 1996, originally developed for the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and PC platforms. The series consists of two primary console entries that established a specific approach to perspective-shifting platforming.
The series features two playable characters, Nikki and Fargus, who traverse stages by jumping, sliding, and performing specific acrobatic maneuvers. In the first entry, you navigate 18 distinct levels divided into multiple worlds to reach the Lylagore machine. Nikki possesses a double-jump ability, while Fargus utilizes his sidekick, Sid the puppet, to execute melee attacks. These characters collect power-ups such as the Fireball, Freeze, and Shrink magic spells to alter enemy behavior or modify the immediate environment.
The second entry, Pandemonium 2, continues the 2.5D structure, introducing mechanics such as the ability to grab ledges and climb. The game includes 17 levels and expands the inventory system. Fargus and Nikki retain their distinct movement physics, with Nikki maintaining her high-jump utility and Fargus relying on his puppet for combat. Throughout both titles, you interact with specific enemy types like the Mites, Spikers, and the boss creature known as the Queen of the Desert. The series utilizes a fixed camera path that shifts perspective as you move through 3D-rendered environments, which serves as the primary visual convention for the Pandemonium! franchise.
