Alice: Madness Returns is a computer game developed by Spicy Horse and published by Electronic Arts. Many find it interesting and after completing the walkthrough, they are looking for something similar. There are several games in the style of Alice: Madness Returns.
American McGee`s Alice
Looking for similar games, first of all it is worth paying attention to the predecessor Alice: Madness Returns. The game also belongs to the Action genre. It is necessary to move along the linear levels of the main character - Alice. On the way, she automatically communicates with various characters in the game, solves puzzles and fights bosses.
Controlling the main character, the player can run, walk, jump, cling to and climb ropes, swim in the water. Among other things, it is possible to fly on updrafts with the help of an inflating dress. In the course of the plot, there are unique items that endow Alice with superpowers.
The gameplay consists of several levels of difficulty: "low", "medium", "high", "crazy". The interface consists of indicators of sanity and willpower. Reason plays the role of health here, and willpower is something like mana. The protagonist is displayed in third person view. There are checkpoints that are required to restart the game in case of death. In addition, you can quickly save and load quickly anywhere in the game.
Contrast
Another retro game reminiscent of Alice: Madness Returns is Contrast. The whole idea here is about the interaction of two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. This mechanic allows you to twist and turn the world around the hero and thus create interesting puzzles.
The player will play as a long-legged and mysterious girl named Zarya. From the first minutes of the game, they make it clear that she is a friend of the little girl Didi. No one except the little baby sees the heroine. In turn, Zarya cannot see adults - only their shadows on the walls. The plot tells about the collision of children's fantasies with an adult and sometimes dirty reality.
Although Contrast is for the most part a 3D game, few tasks can be completed without switching to 2D mode. The heroine can switch from 3D to 2D mode and back. As you progress through the story, new opportunities will open up for her. For example, passing through glass walls, destroying fragile obstacles, jumping on "shadow surfaces" and so on.
Psychonauts
Double Fine Productions' game Psychonauts is worth mentioning as it is quite similar to Alice: Madness Returns. Here, too, there is a third-person view, the ability to travel through imaginary worlds, fight enemies and much more.
The player will control a character named Raz, who escaped from the circus and is now a newcomer to the training camp of psychonauts. This organization was created to combat psi-terrorists and to read people's minds. The newcomer soon learns that counselor Oleander is kidnapping cadets in order to steal their brains and create a psi-cannon. You will have to fight it.
Psychonauts features gorgeous, selectable dialogues, double jump, invisibility, mind-read ability, set fire to fire, climb stairs, and more. Making your way through the plot, you need to collect some "fictions" - it's pretty funny and fun. To everything else, you can add that this game is saturated with wonderful humor and sparkling jokes, which means that you will not be bored.
