Rengoku 2: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N PSP

Rengoku 2 is a continuation of a dynamic action game with elements of the cRPG genre called Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory and one of the first titles for the pocket-sized PlayStation Portable console. Again, therefore, a combat android from a distant and dark future comes under our care. The one-person scenario usually involves defeating many different opponents in many different locations.

A characteristic feature of the main character is his susceptibility to various improvements. Instead of specific parts of the humanoid body, you can mount weapons found or captured on enemies - there is no problem with exchanging upper limbs for hellishly sharp wedges, heads for machine guns, etc. This option diversifies not only single-player gameplay, but also multiplayer mode. The latter allows you to compete with up to four people willing to do so via a wireless Wi-Fi connection. Thanks to these modifications to the appearance of the characters, each player looks a bit different and fights in a unique way. On the other hand, depending on the type of multiplayer game chosen, military tools of short or long range go in motion.

As in the first part, the course of events is shown in the sequel using the classic TPP approach. Three-dimensional visuals have been slightly improved as developers have gained experience with the PSP mobile platform. In addition, the user interface has been gently optimised and a number of minor changes have been made to the way the game works.
