THE LAST BLADE 2

THE LAST BLADE 2 is SNK's legendary weapons-based fighter, originally released in 1998 on the NEOGEO as a sequel to the first game. Widely considered the pinnacle of weapons-based fighting games, the Steam release ports the original arcade experience faithfully and adds online and local multiplayer for global competition.

The story takes place at the end of the Edo period, near Hell's Gate, the boundary between life and death. Four Mythological Symbols fight an ultimate spirit awakened from the netherworld, trying to send him back where he came from. 18 playable characters include 12 returning combatants (with boss character Kagami), 4 new fighters, and 2 hidden roster slots.

The systems offer three sword-attack styles per character: Power, Speed, and Extreme. Master the Repel mechanic to counter incoming attacks, and at the decisive moment unleash Super Secret Slash, Hidden Secret Slash, or Enigma Frenzy-Attack ultimate techniques to swing the outcome of a match.
