THE GALAXY GETS EVEN WEIRDER
High On Life 2 is the sequel to the 2022 comedy FPS hit from Squanch Games. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game expands the universe with bigger worlds, improved traversal, new weapons, and an even more chaotic sense of humor.
This time, the stakes are higher: an intergalactic pharmaceutical conglomerate wants to turn humans into pills, and you must stop them.
Story – HUMANITY IS IN DANGER… AGAIN
After saving humanity in the first game, you’ve become a famous bounty hunter.
But peace doesn’t last long – a mysterious figure from your past places a bounty on your sister, and a new corporate empire threatens to commodify human life.
Your mission:

- Reunite your alien misfit crew
