Sango Fighter 2

Sango Fighter 2 expands on the original's mixture of Chinese history and arcade fighting, bringing another selection of warriors and battles inspired by the Three Kingdoms era. The basic concept remains wonderfully straightforward: pick a fighter, learn their attacks and take on opponents one at a time. Characters have distinctive abilities and fighting styles, giving players reasons to experiment rather than simply choosing the largest-looking warrior and hoping for the best. The historical setting gives the game a unique flavor compared with more conventional fighting games, while the colorful presentation keeps things firmly in arcade territory. Sango Fighter 2 is an entertaining piece of 1990s fighting-game history, particularly for players who enjoy discovering unusual alternatives to the better-known Japanese and Western brawlers of the period.
