Sango Fighter 2

Sango Fighter 2 description

Continuation of interesting games in the Chinese historical narrative. Unfortunately, as the first part, this series was heavily shaded by the iconic revelation of the time – Мortal Kombat, released in 1993, a kind of fighting Dооm'Ohm era. Besides the very Asian origin Sango Fighter 2 is not greatly contributed to its popularity among wide audience.

The game, as well as the first part, immerses us in the heroic era of the three kingdoms. The General format has not changed. Still have the same modes (vertical, right to left): "Historical" (統一天下), "Fights" (武將爭霸) and "Two player" (雙人對決). Added a little more of the named fighters and commanders. Now they are only 16. In the historical mode there is a good map, easy menus, and even a summary table with parameters of all the main fighters. And now in historical mode you have the option to choose which side to play (battle commander against another commander). Can try for the ambitious Liu bei (劉備), can fight on the side of the powerful Cao Cao (曹操), and it is possible also for other military leaders of the time. The goal is the same as in the first part, – conquest settlements in Central China. In General, the decoration was much better. At the beginning of the game, the splash screen was even more beautiful than in the previous version of the game. In Golden-red tones epic depicts the ancient wars of the three different kingdoms (Wei, Shu, and Y) of the time in support of a great Asian musical themes, and in calligraphic style are even hieroglyphs of the names of the developers.

The game principle remains the same. In the background are now "fans" are a little more animated, even something to shout (silently) and waving his arms - so to speak, spilling emotions. Each character has shouting and battle cries during a fight. The interface items of the main menu became visible some little "borrowing" from MK, but it's forgivable for developers, especially independent artistic the ancient Chinese style of the game is still maintained very strongly. Of the humorous "chips": if you have a small down around the head of the "victim" character fun funny chirping birds. The keyboard layout is immediately split into two players: the main (first) player – left 9 keys to move (Q, W, E, A, S, D, Z, X, C), attack, Shift, and Tab. For the second player developers offers a keypad that is easier than the first. Don't know, because they are not an "expert" in the genre arcade fighting games, as far as is comfortable or uncomfortable.

The main game mode is historical battles. You as a commander, outlining a "goal", and with several of his men begin continuous contractions of the format "one on one" for the right to possession of the settlement. First, fight your nameless ordinary soldiers; and the enemy fighters, they can be armed with arrows, spears and swords. But they are weak. Gradually - as the "natural" elimination of the weak fighters to replace them "the ring" will come out stronger opponents, including the named major generals and you. Of course, that their health, strength and combat skills are very strong - there is a transcendent power and appearance super-attack, throwing energy clots Qi and more. In General, unlike MK, this is only natural, there are no cyborgs and related "synthetic", there is only good old kung-fu and no less eternal Wushu.

Unfortunately, the game Sango Fighter 2 is published only in Chinese. Apparently, the developers got a bit upset at the rest of the gaming world, because he loved MK, but not firstborn series – Sango Fighter, released almost simultaneously, in 1993. The possibility of switching to English in the second part of the game series is not provided. But it's not scary. Texts in traditional Chinese are significant only in the interface of select historical mode. And then, there are many "slogans" are of a purely declarative nature, something like, "China will be mine!" (of course, this statement belongs to the ambitious Cao Cao). The rest of the game is quite suitable for fans of fighting games, and just for lovers of good old games, without presenting any claims to possess knowledge of the Chinese language.
