Guilty Gear X2 Description
Guilty Gear X2 is the next installment of one of the most popular Japanese fights and at the same time the official continuation of the position issued in 2001 (Guilty Gear X). At the same time, it is worth noting that the described production has been improved on Xbox consoles and personal computers (Guilty Gear X2#Reload). As with the other titles in the series, Guilty Gear X2 is produced by Arc System Works.
This edition does not introduce any revolutionary changes to the gameplay mechanics. We are still dealing with a classic two-dimensional fight, played in beautifully made, hand-written sceneries. Guilty Gear, as one of the few titles, has remained "in harmony" with the classic image of the fight over the years. In the case of such a production, the plot does not, of course, play an important role, but it is worth noting its presence. Guilty Gear X2 was set in the 22nd century on Earth. Advanced genetic research has led to the creation of beings called Gears, combining elements of human and animal DNA. Unfortunately, as it usually happens in this type of cases, new creatures rebeled against their creators. It was decided to organize a special tournament, which would eventually select the best warriors, suitable for fighting the imminent threat.
Lovers of the first part of Guilty Gear X will be interested in the news that well-known characters from this game also appear in the described continuation. What's more, the X2 version offers six completely new heroes, prepared exclusively for this game. All in all, you can choose between twenty different characters. The fights themselves run in a very similar way to the first part of the game. The player can still use a variety of strokes, tricks or combine further attacks into extremely effective combos. Edition X2 introduces a few completely new special blows, such as 'dust attack' or 'instant kill'. An important role is also played by an additional indicator, which can be fired by one of the few strongest blows. The fighting characters can still use additional weapons, most often white.
Guilty Gear X2 offers eight different fun modes. This fight includes of course multiplayer for two players. In addition, you can, among other things, start a single training session, pass not too complicated challenges, or choose the most extensive Story Mode. As in other battles, the player joins a series of strictly planned fights. It is also worth noting that each of the 20 playable characters has a specially prepared ending, which should effectively motivate the player to re-enter this mode.
