Makeruna! Makendō 2: Kimero Youkai Souri (負けるな!魔剣道2 決めろ!妖怪総理大臣, lit. Don't Lose! Kendo Magic 2: Do it! Specter Prime Minister), also known as Kendo Rage 2, is a 1995 fighting game released exclusively in Japan for the Super Famicom by Datam Polystar. It was re-released for the PlayStation.

Plot

The game stars Hikari Tsurugino, who is the sister of the protagonist from the original game.[1]

Development

It is a sequel to Makeruna! Makendō (Kendo Rage).[2]

Gameplay

Makeruna! Makendō 2 is a 2D fighting game featuring magical attacks.[3] The game features RPG elements, where you character can level up, and the higher your level, the more kinds of attacks the player has.[1]

It plays similarly to other 2D versus fighting games, in which the player's character fights against their opponent in a best of two-out-of-three matches in a single player tournament mode with the computer, or against another human player. In the original Super Famicom version, the gameplay has a traditional combo system. In the PlayStation version, the combo system and speed were increased.

Release

The game was released on March 17, 1995 for the Super Famicom in Japan.[4] It was released on November 10, 1995 for the PlayStation.[5] The port was handled by Fill-in-Cafe.[citation needed]

The PlayStation version was later re-released for the PlayStation Network in 2010.[6] It was released for PSN Imports for outside of Japan in by Gungho America.[7] It was released simultaneously with Art Camion Sugorokuden, Finger Flashing, Lup Salad, Vehicle Cavalier, and Zanac x Zanac.[8] It retailed for US$5.99.[9]

Reception

On release, Famitsu magazine scored the Super Famicom version of the game a 21 out of 40.[10] Famitsu rated the PlayStation version 20 out of 40.[5]
