Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 is a fighting game based on the original manga. The story follows Kenshiro, a master of Hokuto Shinken, as he travels through a post-apocalyptic world, protecting the innocent and battling enemies. The plot is told through comic-book style panels with narration, including parts from the first game that have been expanded.
The gameplay features a single campaign with multiple playable characters. Players must defeat waves of enemies using Kenshiro's various combos, special moves, and signature attacks. The game also includes Legend Mode, where players progress through a story-driven campaign, and Dream Mode, which allows players to choose from different characters and play traditional capture-the-flag style maps.
