Introduce
Hiryuu no Ken II - Dragon no Tsubasa is a unique blend of action, adventure, and fighting game genres, released on the NES console. Players assume the role of Ryuhi, a talented young martial artist, as he continues his journey against the evil Tusk organization and the dark forces threatening the world.
The gameplay of Hiryuu no Ken II - Dragon no Tsubasa is divided into two main parts. The first part involves exploration and adventure in a side-scrolling style. In these stages, Ryuhi navigates through various locations, from dense forests to dark caves and fortified buildings. Players must overcome obstacles, avoid traps, and battle numerous minor enemies. Ryuhi can use basic attacks like punches, kicks, and jumps to overcome challenges. During exploration, players can also find support items or equipment upgrades that make Ryuhi stronger.
The special highlight of Hiryuu no Ken II - Dragon no Tsubasa is its unique one-on-one fighting system, often referred to as "Fighting System" or "Deathmatch Mode". When Ryuhi encounters certain enemies or boss characters, the game transitions to a dedicated fighting screen. Here, players engage in turn-based duels. Both Ryuhi and the opponent have marked attack and defense points (typically head, body, and legs). Players must choose an attack point while simultaneously predicting the opponent's defense point to land an effective blow. Conversely, when defending, players must anticipate where the opponent will attack to block the incoming strike. This system demands strategic thinking and quick judgment, adding significant tactical depth to the battles.
Furthermore, Hiryuu no Ken II - Dragon no Tsubasa incorporates light role-playing game (RPG) elements. Ryuhi can level up by defeating enemies, which helps improve his strength, defense, and health stats. This is crucial for Ryuhi to face increasingly difficult challenges. Despite the limitations of the NES, the game's graphics and sound effectively convey the adventurous atmosphere and intense battles, contributing to a memorable experience for players.
