Two Strikes Manga Fighter Hits Crunchyroll Game Vault on Mobile Soon

• Two Strikes, a manga-inspired fighting game, arrives on mobile soon
• Crunchyroll Game Vault subscribers can play for free upon release
• Two Strikes delivers challenging yet engaging casual combat

The saying "measure twice, cut once" applies to carpentry, but it could fit sword duels too. In Two Strikes, a new 2D fighter from Retro Reactor, one precise strike is all you get. Launching on mobile via Crunchyroll Game Vault, Two Strikes offers intense, gritty action for manga and anime enthusiasts.

The term "animesque" gets tossed around often, but Two Strikes feels distinctly manga-like. With its stark black-and-white characters, dynamic speed lines, and comic-style effects, it’s like a manga brought to life, resonating deeply with fans of the genre.

Two Strikes thrives on its high-stakes difficulty, similar to Hellish Quart, where a few hits can end you. The gameplay hinges on outsmarting opponents with feints and dodging attacks—a simple concept that’s tough to master.

Let’s Go

Two Strikes marks a clear leap forward from its predecessor, One Strike, which struggled with a muddled visual style. Blending pixel art with detailed hand-drawn designs is no easy feat, but Two Strikes pulls it off with finesse.

Crunchyroll has been hitting its stride lately, bringing niche gems like Corpse Party and The House in Fata Morgana to mobile, alongside other Eastern-inspired titles. This could be a winning formula for the platform.

The game’s visual flair is undeniable. For more on striking aesthetics, check out Off The AppStore and Will’s deep dive into the card-battling roguelite Aestheta to see what Two Strikes has in store.
