Game Description: The Last Blade 2, originally released in
1999, is the sequel to the fighting game, The Last Blade, which was
released a year before. It picks up where the previous title left
off and takes the story of battling at the gates of hell to its
climax. This time around, there are 16 unique swordsmen from which
to choose. Choose from 2 sword types (Strength and Attack). Deflect
your enemy's attacks with "Repel". You can also cancel
game-changing special moves like "Super Secret Slice" or "Hidden
Secret Slice" with a "Sublime Slash", which connects to Super
Secret Slice - just like in the previous title. And there are even
some new features like aerial repels, aerial guards and knockdown
recovery. Take your battles to a whole ‘another level.
