Ganryu 2 | Hardcore Japanese Retro Platformer
84Hello Im Skill Incarnate and Welcome to My Games Review Series.
My reviews cover indie games that i have bought, had gifted to me and have been provided by developers for review.
In this episode i try out the brutally difficult 2D Platformer Ganryu 2 from Storyboard Studios. Ganryu 2 is the sequel to the original Ganryu, which was released in the 90s on the Neo Geo.
Ganyru 2 returns to the classic 16 Bit Platformer taking inspiration from classic titles like Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden with fast paced combat and platforming that will challenge even the most hardcore retro gamers.
Please note: All opinions in this video are my own. Game was provided by the developer for review purposes

================================================
After his victory against Kojiro, Musashi decided to meditate and try his hand at art, in the north of Japan, in the province of Hokkaido. During one of his meditations, a spirit contacted him : "Miyamoto Musashi, our fight is not over, I am waiting for you to finish our fight once and for all! All of Japan will pay for your insult! I'm waiting for you Miyamot
There is no doubt for Musashi that the voice was the Sasaki Kojirō’s one. His body was defeated, but his spirit remains, and his intentions were destructive. Miyamoto Musashi then understood that he would have to travel across Japan from north to south and go to the island of Ganryû-jima, where he firstly defeated Sasaki Kojirō, to fight again and liberate the spirit of Kojiro forever.
Ganryu 2 is a 2D platformer at its best! It is the sequel to the Ganryu game made by VISCO on NEOGEO back in 1999. The universe takes place in a feudal fantasy Japan which is strongly inspired by the story of Takezo Musashi, whose adventures are unfolded in a series of books (mainly "The Stone and the Sword").
Play as Miyamoto Musashi and travel through a 17th century fantasy Japan, from north to south to the island of Ganryu-jima where everything happened between Musashi and Kojiro.
Inspired by the story of Takezo Musashi “The Stone And The Sword” released in 1930’s and which is one of the most famous story and real samurai in Japan!
