You must play through adventure mode to unlock the other modes, but I wasn’t quite sure if these modes were unlocked by completing a certain amount of levels, or if they were unlocked based on the amount of stars that you earn during the level.

Classic Mode gives you the full original game with 150 levels, and then there is the option to play World Levels, which are levels created by other users and uploaded online.

There is Extra Mode that has 20 levels with new enemies to face, Puzzle Mode has 50 levels to complete, none of which have enemies. Lode Runner Legacy has five game modes with one and two player options, and also offers a crafting mode in which you can make your own items, characters, or even levels! One player mode has an Adventure Mode where you work way across 50 levels snatching gold back from the evil empire. Once you’ve collected all of the gold pieces on the level, a ladder/ladders will appear where there wasn’t before and you climb off-screen. Otherwise, you have one hit knockouts from any contact with the enemies. Once they’re in a hole, you can run across their head without dying. If you try to dig out a brick as they run on top of it, they will reform the brick using cheating computer magic (?). To get it back, you need to open a pit for them to fall into while they chase you, but you must be at least two bricks in front of them for this to work out. Sometimes enemies will pick up gold and carry it, or they have gold to begin with. You will still have collected all of the gold that you had up to that point, but it will cost you a two stars once you’ve completed the level. Broken bricks return after a short amount of time, so make sure you’re not standing in their place when they rematerialize, otherwise you are crushed to death. Puzzle Mode doesn’t have enemies, so you get a lot better with planning out your routes through broken bricks without needing to worry about getting killed by an enemy.

While it is necessary for you to play through a few levels of the adventure mode (or possibly collect enough stars), I actually recommend that you play Puzzle Mode as soon as you unlock it.
Lode runner 2 gold how to#
Not being able to jump really lets the level design shine, and not allowing you to dig straight down presents many opportunities for you to have to stop and really think about what you’re trying to accomplish and how to go about doing it. You have the ability to dig out blocks to your left or right (using the Y and A buttons, respectively), and there are ladders and bars placed around the level to help you get around and over.

Lode runner 2 gold series#
The Lode Runner series has always been an interesting platformer game in that you cannot jump. While the series has seen releases across multiple platforms at least once per generation since its debut, none have had as much content, nor been as pretty. Many legendary titles such as Pacman, Space Invaders, Centipede, Tetris, and Frogger have stuck true to this formula, and Lode Runner has followed suit, albeit on a much quieter path. This isn’t a bad thing- when you have a winning formula that spans generations, you don’t need to switch up your core game play at all.

Lode Runner Legacy for Nintendo Switch is a modern day take on a classic series that has changed little since its introduction 35 years ago.
