    Çizimler güzel. Karakterlerin hareket şemaları iyi. Kontroller kanser edebiliyor. Bir şans verin.

    Having played the original windjammers on NeoGeo decades ago, I thought I'd try my hand at this and sure its faithful to the original, but also just more of the same with some overpowered moves that make or break the game which provides a tough challenge even on easy modes without a lot of practice and being one or two steps ahead of your opponent, it would be nice but as for mentionedHaving played the original windjammers on NeoGeo decades ago, I thought I'd try my hand at this and sure its faithful to the original, but also just more of the same with some overpowered moves that make or break the game which provides a tough challenge even on easy modes without a lot of practice and being one or two steps ahead of your opponent, it would be nice but as for mentioned some moves are just vastly overpowered and occasionally glitches out usually not in your favor.

    Unless you know exactly how to play the game, the movesets etc of your character the flow of arcade mode literally follows exactly how it would in the arcades with the AI being lazy on one round and then practically unbeatable the next forcing you to use up one of your two credits, then the next round being easy once again...unfortunately predictable, it's fine for a quick round or two here and there, but don't expect to get too much play out of it.    … Expand

    I felt through this masterpiece the developer's passionate love for the heritage of the original title. Windjammers 2 is something everybody has to play at least one time. The unique vibe of its universe, the well-balanced learning curve easily could make it the best fighting game you ever played.

Windjammers 2 is something everybody has to play at least one time. The unique vibe of its universe, the well-balanced learning curve easily could make it the best fighting game you ever played. The new maps had designed with a lot of creativity and the new gameplay mechanisms help you not to be frustrated even on the Clay map. I had the fear three new buttons will push this game towards too much complexity but now I feel these things are needed to feel I play the same game but with so much fresh blood in it. The original game was fast-paced but this one is rolling lightspeed. The comix-like art is fantastic and timeless. Casino, 4 point floor, and Hurricane Max are my favorite new experiences. More stories or backgrounds for these fantastic characters could be good DLC content.… Expand

    Windjammers 2 is definitely a worthwhile game and it's a lot of fun. As I went along in the game my Windjammer playing skills improved. I didn't give up because the game does bring the satisfaction of playing a retro style sports and action arcade game that we all might have loved in days gone by. After mastering all of the tactics and game moves the option to go on line and play against extremely experienced human players is there and it should be taken advantage of. With that said, we wholeheartedly endorse the new Windjammers 2 game and give it a two thumbs up rating. Windjammers was worth the money and game playing effort some twenty seven odd years ago in 1994 and its just as viable and fun to play today in 2022.

    Windjammers 2 also cements Dotemu's position as the premier upholder of exquisite and sympathetic sequels to discarded classics. A triumph. [Issue#368, p.118]

    Windjammers 2 is a blast when you get into its zone. But despite that joyful core, it feels like a failure to bring this classic game to a new generation. Just as its style is trapped in the aesthetics of years gone by, so too is its approach to design. There a lot to like about it, and for some the stripped down challenge will be a welcome callback, but I imagine most will be left wondering what the fuss is about.
