In the afterlife of 16th-century Japan, where honor lingers and vengeance burns eternal, Two Strikes emerges as a masterstroke of minimalist combat. This 2D fighter distills the genre to its essence—one hit can end it all. With breathtaking hand-drawn animations, each duel becomes a cinematic dance of death, reminiscent of the intensity found in titles like Bushido Blade. Whether facing the AI or challenging friends in local and online PvP, players must rely on precision, timing, and strategy.
