Brandish 2 (Super Nintendo SNES)
This is a Japanese to English Translation of Brandish 2 Originally a Super Famicom exclusive.
Brandish 2 is subtitled The Planet Buster. This is the name of a sword so powerful it can annihilate an entire planet. As it turns out, this is the very sword Ares obtained at the end of the original Brandish. Unfortunately for him, some nasty king wants it for his own purposes. While adventuring, Ares ends up collapsing in the middle of the desert and is captured by his enemies, only to eventually be rescued by Dela. From there, the journey to reobtain the Planet Buster begins.
Brandish 2 plays very similar to its predecessor – the interfaces for the PC versions are nearly identical, except that boxes around your character have been added in order to aid mouse control. This sequel simply expands things a bit, by adding a greater variety of levels, to make things feel a bit less repetitive over the game’s 22 stages. There are also many more NPCs beyond just shopkeepers, and the plot is more closely intertwined with the exploration, making it seem less like a straight dungeon hack. Along with this, there are also optional subquests. There is also the ability to dual wield equipment, including having two shields. The music is catchier, including lots of memorable dungeon themes and one of the best game over themes ever.
