Sengoku 2 is a sequel to Sengoku , where you play as two street fighting heroes caught in a supernatural attack by the undead forces of the evil Nobunaga from the Japanese sengoku period. The game takes you through several time periods and locations, including feudal Japan and WWII Europe, as you fight against evil.
The gameplay is similar to the original, with standard 2D side-scrolling beat 'em up elements, where you have to kill all enemies in your path and defeat the stage boss to progress. A new feature in the sequel is the inclusion of swords as your default weapons, which now have high and low attacks, as well as a block move that allows you to parry enemy attacks. Collecting orbs gives you weapon upgrades and energy attacks, as well as the ability to morph into any of the three spirits released in Sengoku , giving you new moves and powers.
