While on our quest to find the many obscure doujin games out there, this is another "rare" doujin title. Anyone who is familiar with the circle who made this probably knows what to expect here: great quality. Back when FM2K/FM2nd was still new, a doujin circle known as "Run-Liatto" developed a few doujin fighters based on the popular Japanese "Comic Party" franchise (Games, Manga, Anime, and more, which originated during the late 90s) for FM95/FM2K, and their doujins stood out as some of the best out there. The fighters had depth, often parodied famous fighters with some original moves as well, and they looked and sounded great.

After making Comic Party Wars (2), Comic Party Wars Alpha, and Comic Party Wars: Endless Waltz, Run-Liatto mysteriously stopped making games. The game we've found this time is "Comic Party Wars: Comic Party 2" (also known as "Second Comic Wars" or "Comic Party Wars 2") for the FM95 engine, developed back in 2001. It features seven characters from the Comic Party franchise that parody a wide variety of characters and skills found in other fighting games. For instance, Mizuki mimics Rock Howard, Terry Bogard (where she uses a move known as "Buster Otaku" instead of "Buster Wolf"), an "Orochi" character, and parodies some things within the world of video games and otaku. Reiko fights much like "Moriya Minakata" from the "Last Blade" series. Another character, Eimi, mimics many of the characteristics held by "Dio" of "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" fame, including fighting with a character who acts as her stand. The game looks quite nice for a FM95 game and the characters have great animations and humorous attacks, so you can kinda see why they became popular. The game has no story or character endings however.

Besides being an incredibly talented illustrator and spriter, Run-Liatto utilized some good fighting mechanics for their games (such as parrying, attack cancelling, attack clashing, super armor, etc.) and a flexible combo system. Characters can also use "EX Attacks" and desperation specials when their health falls to a certain level and if they have the necessary special gauges. This video shows the characters in action. I've zipped the game in a rar. You can get this one at:
