    Windjammers 2 is what a sequel should be. Updated visuals, added bonus games, and new characters, all without ruining the core game play. As I have said, Dotemu did a remarkable job with this release just as they have with their previous classic sequel efforts. If you are a fan of the original Neo Geo game, or if you want a fun game with a lot of challenge, than look no further than Windjammers 2. We may actually have a contender for 2022 Game Of the Year on our hands! I cannot recommend this game enough to every gamer out there, it is truly a super fun time!

    Windjammers 2 brings out that superb, rowdy competitiveness that any game worth its salt needs, I cannot wait to see what DotEmu does next.

    Windjammers 2 is a pretty simple game, but it's also a fun one. Once you climb that short, steep learning curve, every match is a blast. Even when you're getting creamed, it's something of a teachable moment. Plus, there's also some new technique or strategy you can employ next round. Everything looks and sounds extremely 90's, while the characters themselves all use distinct play styles. This was a huge boon for me, as I could just switch players whenever I hit a wall. Even if the game is quite straightforward, the well-rounded multiplayer will ensure you're never actually bored. If you're looking for an extreme, vibrant, 90's style sports game, you've come to the right place. Windjammers 2 is a neon-drenched, disc-flinging good time. ‎

    Windjammers 2 is addictive, vibrant, and intense. With gameplay as fun as this you’d be hard pressed not to enjoy it to some degree, but the lack of tutorials and the rather limited modes hold it back a little.

    Windjammers is back and it's pure joy. Provided you only play in multiplayer.

    All the new bells and whistles are great, but I lost interest fairly quickly. [Issue #58 – March/April 2022, p. 21]

    Windjammers is a mixture of volleyball, tennis and air field hockey, but with frisbees. All of that poured over in a visual flair that's bulging with neon and other early 90s sauces. Also 90s: the difficulty. Even the easiest opponents are very difficult.

    It's a really great game, hard to master too. It is as intense as any fighting game there is.

Windjammers 2 is something everybodyI 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. 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

Dotemu è riuscita a preservare quella natura arcade degli anni ’90Windjammers 2 è un arcade puro con un gameplay solido e divertente. Dotemu è riuscita a preservare quella natura arcade degli anni ’90 immediata e adrenalinica. Proprio come nell’originale. Come dicevamo prima, la campagna è composta da 5 stage più dei bonus. Dotemu con questo seguito ha cercato di essere il più fedele possibile all’originale, con una veste grafica nuova e con qualche nuovo personaggio. Windjammers 2 è un gioco che non deve mancare nella vostra collezione di giochi sia per i vecchi che per i nuovi giocatori.… Expand

    I kept hearing complaints that this was "basically just pong", but my complaint is that it isn't basically just pong. If you try to pick upI kept hearing complaints that this was "basically just pong", but my complaint is that it isn't basically just pong. If you try to pick up and play this game, you will be confused. The instructions aren't clear or good. I'm sure with time I can enjoy this game more but in general I wish I had my money back. The art style is very nice and in general the controls feel responsive, I just don't like what the controls do.… Expand
