Douggle Unlimited 2

Douggle Unlimited 2 is the sequel to the hit Action RPG Douggle Unlimited. It was developed and published by DOUG STUDIO in 2016. One of the more controversial entries in the Douggle series, Critics generally praise the game's story and more polished combat but complain about the relative lack of exploration and the fewer side storyline missions.

Gameplay
Douggle Unlimited 2, in the ways applicable, is almost identical to Douggle Unlimited in gameplay. Combat has been tweaked to feel more satisfying, but there have been no major additions there. Douggle Unlimited 2's focus was on the new Sacramento Stories mode, which controversially replaced most freeroam side missions.

Sacramento Stories features the player planning six main areas of the city, with four unique threats across them (the Armies of Dingus threat is present in three regions). Occasionally you will receive letters from citizens detailing personal issues they have in the city, which are mostly discarded by the main character. Those that are considered "un-boring enough" become the new side missions.

There are also no new fully explorable locations in this game. It only features Luxembourg and Sacramento returning from previous games, though Luxembourg has been brought up to the newer standards of DOUG STUDIO. The final act of the game takes place in the Vatican City but this is only a linear level the player cannot return to, something not seen since the end of the original Douggle.

Soundtrack
Main page - Douggle Unlimited 2/Soundtrack

Douggle Unlimited 2 is notable for having a soundtrack entirely consisting of pieces of other games' soundtracks. This was extremely expensive to license and any one of these other developers could force DOUG STUDIO to remove their tracks at any time, but DOUG STUDIO remain confident it was worthwhile. In the words of Dog Doggert, DOUG STUDIO's CEO, the decision is "funny innit".

Story
Douggle Unlimited is split across three parts. There are no chapters officially, however fans unofficially consider the save prompts to signify the end of a chapter.

Part 1 - The Invasion
Dougie D. Wabblo receives a phone call consisting of three words: "Dingus is Coming". He immediately looks out the window to see a crowd of uniformed people approaching. He jumps out the (closed) window and starts fighting them off, knowing instinctively that these are the Armies of Dingus. As soon as the group is defeated, twice as many appear. Dougie flees back to his office and quickly signs a new law granting Sacramento its own army. Within ten seconds, two APCs pull up and members of the Sacramento Military start to attack the Army of Dingus as Dougie watches from the relative safety of his office.

As the battle ends, a call comes through from Dougie's secretary. She says there is a "Wally B." here to see him. Before Dougie can say anything, the doors swing open and a ten-foot tall man in a green boiler suit enters the office. The man congratulates Dougie on his victory, but claims it won't last long. Dougie asks him to explain himself, but the spooky mystery man walks away instead. As the door closes, he reveals "Oh, and in case you missed it... My name is Dingus Bobingus". Dougie instantly sprints across his office and slams the door open again only to find Dingus has disappeared. Curious about what could make his victory not last, Dougie takes to the streets of Sacramento.

After walking around for a while and fighting a few small groups of Dingus soldiers (as well as a small gang lead by a guy called Gary the Fucker), Dougie gets a phone call telling him to come back to the office, which he does. On arrival, he is shown footage of a lot more of the same solders approaching the city from a few angles. He decides to order his newly-formed army to guard some of the buildings more at-risk. While he's giving orders, he decides to build a new McDonalds too. This serves as the tutorial for Sacramento Stories mode. The player is then left to do things their own way for a while.

Once Sacramento Stories is 20% complete, Dougie looks out his office's window and sees a manhole cover moving. Suddenly, a large group of Dingus soldiers burst from it and "demand to see the manager". Dougie once again jumps through the Dougie-sized hole in his window and starts to fight, until Dingus rises from the manhole and dismisses his army. It's clear he wants Dougie's ass to himself. The two fight and end up equally matched, which Dingus calls a "right proper disappointment" and goes home.

Two days later, Dougie receives a postcard from Luxembourg. Attached is a selfie of Dingus with a way buffer body than he should have after only two days. As the Armies of Dingus have continued to attack the city, Dougie states that it is his duty as mayor to solve the problem and books a flight to Luxembourg (though really he just wants to beat Dingus' ass since he's embarrassed he nearly lost.)

Part 2 - To The Source
Dougie lands in Luxembourg and is immediately greeted by an airport full of Dingus soldiers. He begins to fight through them but makes the informed decision to flee when they bring out tanks. He escapes through an overpriced travel perfume store and goes back to his old home. Unfortunately, someone else moved in so he just gets a hotel room instead.

On his way to the hotel room, Dougie passes a man who recognises him. He claims Dougie beat his brother's ass in Sacramento. Dougie asks who his brother is, and it turns out this man is Larry, brother of Gary (who Dougie just does NOT remember). Larry attacks him in the hallway, but doesn't get far despite being much stronger than Gary. The commotion causes the occupants of a nearby room (who happen to be Dingus soldiers) to exit, shouting that they're "trying to watch the PBR". Upon noticing Dougie, they immediately attack and are quickly shut down.

After a nice sleep in his room, Dougie heads back out to try and find Dingus. There is a large concentration of Dingus Soldiers outside his hotel, so he decides to pull his usual thing and beats their asses. The last soldier standing reveals that Dingus is in "the depths". Dougie knows this to be the basement of a nearby shopping centre that was accidentally dug ten times as deep as it should've been. To get to the Depths, Dougie has to fight through the centre itself. Unfortunately, the Dingus soldiers still have their tanks and one of them is blocking the entrance to the Depths.

After beating up the tank with his bare hands, Dougie finally descends to the Depths to find Dingus. Underground, there are 3,000 Dingus soldiers surrounding Dingus himself (who is currently lifting weights). He spots Dougie and throws the weights aside, ordering all his soldiers to watch and not interfere in the incoming fight. Dougie looks for a light switch but can't find it, so Dingus lights the wall on fire and they battle.

Partway through the fight, the roof caves in. Turns out it wasn't built to take a tank. Narrowly dodging the falling tank, Dingus walks over to it and rips off the cannon. Dougie claims that's not how tanks work, but Dingus starts swinging the cannon as a big ass melee weapon instead. Even with this new weapon, he isn't strong enough to take down Dougie and loses. As the soldiers start wondering what they should do now, a helicopter descends through the tank-hole in the ceiling and a man with long white hair comes out. He introduces himself as High Priest Huypreescht from the Vatican City. He was following Dougie to find Dingus, as Dingus is the key to 'the operation'. Some of Dingus' soldiers take aim at him, but he takes out a small pistol and shoots all of them. Somehow. After killing every Dingus soldier in the area, he gets back in the helicopter as a drone flies out. Dingus attempts to shoot the drone, but it dodges the bullet and draws some blood from Dingus before flying back into the helicopter, which then immediately takes off. Dougie and Dingus look at each other for a minute as the screen fades out.

Part 3 - Bread and Wine
At some secret complex in the Vatican City, High Priest Huypreescht is leaving a room with a bank vault style door. As he walks off, Dougie and Dingus are watching from a distance. Once the area is clear, they head to the door and attempt to break it. The strongest attack of Dingus doesn't make a dent, but does trigger an alarm. Dougie decides to quickly pick the lock, only to find out it's a biometric lock. As soldiers of the Catholic Church converge on their position, the two realise they have to fight their way to wherever the High Priest went. They head in the general direction they saw him run in, fighting about a thousand church soldiers in the process.

Eventually reaching the priest, the two manage to surprise him from above and instantly knock him out. Dingus picks up the priest's body and follows Dougie back through the soldier-filled complex. There are just as many soldiers on the way back, though without Dingus' help things take more work. The two (and the unconscious priest) reach the vault once more, and Dingus throws the priest against the lock. It beeps and the door slowly opens, but the priest quickly gets up and departs through the door as far more soldiers pool in. Dingus claims he can hold them off, and sends Dougie through the now-closing door and onto the elevator behind it. As the elevator descends and the door closes, a loud explosion is heard from the other side. Dougie and the priest fight on the elevator.

The elevator eventually reaches the bottom, where a handful of men in labcoats are running around between various rooms. The priest takes this chance to quickly escape. None of them seem to notice Dougie or the priest as they're too focused on whatever their work is. After looking through the basement floor for a little while, Dougie finds another vault-style door (this one being open) and enters only to find High Priest Huypreescht standing over the body of Jesus. He looks Dougie in the eye and hands Jesus an axe as he starts to wake up. As Jesus starts to attack, the priest locks himself in an observation room and attacks Dougie with a drone.

Dougie finally successfully beats up Jesus and looks to the observation room to see the priest already left. He breaks in to find the exit the priest used (which was a ceiling hatch above a desk) and gives chase, eventually following him back to the elevator. When he stops, however, he sees a clone of himself at the priest's feet. The clone stands up and breaks the priest's neck before attacking Dougie himself as the elevator begins to rise. Dougie and the clone fight, though for obvious reasons they are very evenly matched. Eventually, with both being worn out from the fight, the elevator reaches the top and the heavy vault door automatically opens. However, due to damage (probably whatever explosion was heard right after being separated from Dingus) the door immediately falls and crushes the clone's legs. Dougie just points and laughs, before leaving and walking past thousands of unconscious soldiers into the sunset.
