[previewyoutube=D7-ku2iUfCw;full][/previewyoutube] Songs for a Hero 2 is a 2D musical platform game, which follows up on the innovative first game: a game in which the character sings all of your actions. And now, 8 years after the crowdfunding campaign that would create one of the most iconic and recognized gaming projects in Brazil, we present to you a new adventure: March of Malachi. A completely original story, with a new hero, new singers, new mechanics and bringing more of what made the first game so iconic: a soundtrack that is dynamically sung in real time.

A NEW STORY, NEW ALLIES AND NEW VOICES

A new world that lives in the shadow of the memory of a once prosperous king, that has been mysteriously dethroned by a ruthless tyrant who rules through fear and brute force. But when the world needs saving most, legends from the past bring forth a new Hero. Experience a new chapter of this saga with a brand-new hero and his many allies, each one of them with their own singing voice. Unravel the mysteries behind the new Hero, help him develop his skills, fight iconic bosses and face Malachi's terrifying army!

MUSICAL ENGINE 2.0

In Songs for a Hero 2, the musical experience is dramatically amplified and improved, allowing the player to get instant musical feedback with every action taken during gameplay. That is, the whole world will sing to you during the adventure. Here are some of the improvements and new features of the upgraded Musical Engine:

• Objects and Enemies will now react to music instruments and rhythms;
• Two or more characters singing on the same level, which makes for a more engrossing narrative;
• Dynamic musical arrangements that will respond to the Hero and his surroundings;
• Epic and theatrical boss battles with both the Hero and the Bosses singing and interacting musically;
• Exploration of new musical genres, each one associated with a character and its narrative arc.

A NEW 2D AND 3D PIXEL ART WORLD

In this new adventure, the Hero will also travel through several different locations, finding easter eggs, solving quests and traversing unique and enchanting landscapes, while unlocking the locations of the map.

• Travel through diverse levels that mix 3D and 2D art, all with vibrant and detailed pixel art;
• Get ready to face colossal animated bosses with mixed 2D and 3D animations in a thrilling musical bossfight;
• Find lost scrolls and artifacts through the levels and unveil the story behind Malachi's Invasion;
• Uncover the secrets of these worlds through visual clues and environmental storytelling.

Created by Brazilian developers Dumativa and Content Creators Castro Brothers, Songs for a Hero 2: March of Malachi will bring back a team with 8 years of shared experience to give to you the best musical gaming experience possible. Learn more about the project on the crowdfunding site, you can support the project, buy the copy of the game and still have access to exclusive and limited gifts. Run! It's the last days to check out the crowdfunding campaign. Click here to see the official announcement: Songs for a Hero 2: March of Malachi

The original Brazilian Portuguese version of Songs for a Hero came out in 2016, and we have been improving the game ever since, so that we might reach the closest we can to a definitive version for the release of the International Version, with full English localization. As it is, the game currently has 8 levels with 3 acts each, and now we are adding an epilogue - an Encore, if you will. The Encore will be included in the International Version, so Songs for a Hero will feature 9 levels with 3 acts each. Anyway, if you have been following the games development (or maybe if you got to play the Brazilian Portuguese version), you might be interested to hear about the many updates that will be included with both the Brazilian Portuguese Version AND the International Version:
Theres the Encore, which is a whole new level with 3 acts, 4 original songs, 2 bosses and a quite unexpected non-playable character to tag along for the journey (and thats all well say because we dont want to spoil the whole thing).
And if you thought the core game would not receive any more updates, you were wrong! Just take a look at this whole bunch of features:

• More than a 100 new stanzas just for the core game alone. More than 200 new ones if you count the Encore (yeah, thats a lot of singing);
• The Musical Notes are not just for bragging rights! Collect just the right amount (were not spoiling how many) and new secrets will be unveiled;
• New achievements for you to hmm achieve;
• Many balance updates to the level design (totally worth a new playthrough);
• Now you can use the hookshot while you jump! Because of that, the Hero can reach places he couldnt before. If youre into speedrunning, this is just the feature for you;
• And now, for the most crucial of all questions: Can you pet the dog in Songs for a Hero? Well, no. But you can sing a song for the doggie, and its such a cute doggie, isnt that great???

By this point, many of you might be wondering: when can I get to play all this AND find this cute little doggie?. Well, we are happy to announce that the International Version and the updates for the original version will be coming in late April. More precisely, April 30th. BUT, if you cant wait that long, theres a sneak peak of some of these features currently in the game. No, were not telling you which feature. Thats a secret. But the entirely 100% full update comes out on the 30th, as well as the International Version with the full English localization. And if you still cant get enough, take a look at this teaser for the Encore (portuguese only)! [previewyoutube=t8VrgznzJos;full][/previewyoutube]

You can try it right now for free on our Steam Store Page!

[Recursos Adicionados e Melhorias]

You might have noticed that the store page says that the only language in which this game is available is Brazilian Portuguese. Unfortunately, you read that right. No, this is not a database error, it is the naked truth. There is no English version currently available. We do want to release an English version eventually, but right now, we can't. It would take a great amount of time and money to make it happen, because the whole game is dynamically sung-through like a musical, and we'd need native singers and lyricists with a good sense of comedic timing and all that jazz. Therefore, we chose to make the Portuguese version available ASAP for the thousands of Brazilians that supported our local crowdfunding campaign and/or pre-ordered the game at Nuuvem (http://www.nuuvem.com.br/). We are currently speaking to Valve and we plan to put a region lock on this game so that people who don't speak Portuguese won't buy this game by accident. We are deeply sorry for all the confusion this might have caused, and we hope we'll be able to give this game the top-notch English localization we believe it deserves.
