Two Strikes

Two Strikes carries you to the heart of ancient Japan in 1568, as Oda Nobunaga's troops march on Kyoto and the bloody Sengoku Period begins. Caught in the maelstrom of violence, samurai, warrior monks, outlaws and peasants had no choice but to take up arms, and after every battle it was kill or be killed. With death so commonplace, the Shinigami, God of Death, created a Tournament, gathering the souls of those who died still craving slaughter and granting them one last chance to win, return to earth and become his next Champion.

The game is a casual 2D fighting saga adorned with mesmerizing hand-drawn animation, whisking you into a fierce epoch where a single stroke of the blade can mean doom or glory. Eight unique warriors are playable, each bringing their own combat flair.

Positioning is everything, since any move could be your last. You dart around to close in or evade attacks, striking decisively only when foes are within your weapon's reach. Predictable moves are easily countered, so you outwit opponents by masking your intentions, feigning attacks with nimble dashes, and unleashing devastating strikes once victory is in sight.
