Fresh off the long-awaited and critically acclaimed release of Streets of Rage 4, a game we reviewed highly, publisher and developer Dotemu will release a Windjammers 2 demo tomorrow as part of the Steam Game Festival, offering local versus play and online multiplayer.
This long-awaited follow-up to a competitive arcade cult classic is hosting head-to-head showdowns on its courts from tomorrow until June 22.A trailer showcasing Windjammer 2’s rapid pace of back-and-forth action has also been released.
This new gameplay offers a succinct snapshot of the gorgeously animated flair behind every lob, curved shot, and special move powerful enough to shove rivals into their own goals. Get a courtside view of the larger-than-life spectacle awaiting you in every match by viewing the trailer here:
Using that Dotemu visual style, the game looks fantastic and and will hopefully be a nice update to the arcade original. There is just something about the ways Dotemu games look that gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling on the inside.
Windjammers 2’s radical power disc-flinging competition is the perfect summer escape. Approachable mechanics with depth for those who want to master a new sport make this a shoo-in for game nights and a prime stage to form friendly rivalries.
