Red Steel 2
Red Steel 2Master sword and gun combat as the last Kusagari in a stylish desert wasteland.
Overview
Description

Jump into action as a fearless adventurer searching for treasure across themed locales like jungles, ruins, lava caves, and icy packs. Each environment is filled with traps, hazards, and challenges that keep players moving and engaged. Run across falling bridges, dodge booby traps, escape beasts, and chase bandits in a thrilling, motion‑controlled adventure that rewards teamwork and fitness.

Red Steel 2 is a first-person action-adventure game that places players in the boots of the unnamed hero, the last member of the Kusagari clan. After being dragged across the desert and stripped of his katana by Payne, the leader of the Jackals gang, the hero must fight his way through a harsh frontier town to reclaim his honor and his weapon. Combining intense first-person katana combat with fast-paced firearm action, the game utilizes motion controls to deliver precise 1:1 sword swings. Players will rescue allies like their former swordsmaster Jian, explore stylized desert environments, and unleash devastating combos against waves of ruthless enemies in a unique wild-west meets samurai setting.
