Publisher's Just for Games announced on February 18 that STORYBIRD STUDIO will handle the Horizontal Scroll Action Games " Ganryu 2 " to deliver on April 22nd. The corresponding platform is PC (STeam) / Nintendo Switch / PlayStation 4 / Xbox One, and in the game corresponds to the Japanese language.

"Ganryu 2" is a formal sequel to "Ganryu (Musashi Sugaya)", which was operated for overseas arcades in 1999 and is also ported for NeoGeo (AES) and dreamcast. The previous work is a work developed by Japanese Bisco (Visco), but distribution only by overseas. In 2020, the AES version was reprinted by SNK non-authorization and was sold domestically with limited quantities.

This work is a horizontal scroll action game that sets the 17th century Japan. The main character Miyamoto Musashi won Sasaki Kojiro and he visited Hokkaido and meditated. However, Musashi feels the voice of Kojiro that the battle is not yet over. So Musashi traveled in Japan and go to Soryu Island and swear to fight Kojiro again. It is to defeat Kojiro who lost his body and became a spirit only.

The stage is prepared in the stage of Japanese-style towns and castles, or dungeon, and in that case four seasons are expressed. Going on the stage by making full use of actions such as dashes and two-stage jumps and defeat the enemies that appear. Dash seems to be available in the air. On the other hand, wire actions using claws that were one of the features in the previous work can not be confirmed at least in the published trailer or screenshot.

And the weapon has a sword, and it is also possible to throw Kunai. Furthermore, some special skills can also be used. The game screen shows a gauge written as "fire" and "lightning". There is also a shooting stage on board such as insects, and there is "super" in the same gauge. You may be able to trigger a powerful attack by accumulating the gauge. In addition, there are elements that collect flower pads and raise levels.

"Ganryu 2" will be delivered on April 22 for PC (STeam) / Nintendo Switch / PS4 / Xbox ONE. The game corresponds to the Japanese language display. Overseas, Package version for Nintendo Switch / PS4 is also sold. In addition, the presence or absence of domestic delivery of console version is unknown at this time. As a former bisco work, for example, the "Auga" series has been ported abroad in recent years and was also released in Japan. I would like to expect to the domestic release of this work.
