Dynamic side-scrolling game for everyone
SENGOKU 2 ACA NEOGEO is a remastered version of the beat ‘em up game Sengoku 2, previously released by SNK in 1993. This adaptation of the game stays loyal to the original, keeping the action-packed side-scrolling gameplay while adding a few modern touches such as charging attacks and an online ranking mode.
In SENGOKU 2 ACA NEOGEO, you will play the role of a warrior who has been tasked with defeating the dark warlord who wants to take over the world by dominating important events in history. There are other playable characters, too, and you can switch between them.
Travel back in time and defeat enemies
The plot of SENGOKU 2 ACA NEOGEO picks up right after the original Sengoku, in which Ninja Dave and Cowboy Kev have successfully thwarted the evil warlord’s plans of conquering the world. In this direct sequel, the warlord has returned—now, time travel has been thrown into the mix. With the help of a powerful priestess, Ninja Dave and Cowboy Kev have to go back in time and defeat him again.
In this optimized and remastered version of the game, there are on-screen controls that the player can customize according to their preferences. There are quick save and load features, too. The online ranking mode will let you compare your score with your friends—or just show off your score in general. However, the repetitive nature of the levels can get quite boring for players who want more diverse gameplay.
Different eras are waiting to be explored and hordes of enemies are needed to be defeated. In restoring peace once more, you can switch between the members of your party and utilize their varied skill sets well. You can execute charged attacks by pressing buttons for a long time, block enemy attacks, and even go on horseback when the situation calls for it.
A modern revival of an old game
In a nutshell, SENGOKU 2 ACA NEOGEO offers a quick trip down memory lane, since it’s basically a remastered version of a game released in 1993. It gets players reacquainted with the old-school side-scrolling game mechanics, paired with timeless hack-and-slash tactics and different levels to clear. Although, this more optimized version comes with a customizable control pad, online mode, and quick game-saving features.
