sengoku 2
Neo-geo, 1993
They say that variety is the spice of life, and Sengoku 2 is one varied beat-’em-up, as well as a polished improvement over the original game. After foiling an invasion of the modern world by spirits of the past, the heroes of the first game aren’t finished, as a priestess tells them of a new danger. This time, an evil warlord wants to conquer the world by using time travel to ensure his victory at various important historical events, which means it’s time to travel to the past and beat up everyone in sight.
As before, you’re given some magical transformation powers, neat combination attacks and mercifully, the ability to block enemy attacks. You’ll even get the chance to perform some mounted combat, as horseback riding is a part of the game. What’s particularly exciting is the way that you don’t just stroll through scrolling stages, but also get teleported to various locations, ensuring a constant stream of new sights.
