Ganryu 2 Review (Xbox Series S)

For our Ganryu 2 Review, we play as Miyamoto Musashi in this beautiful 2D platformer and travel through a 17th-century fantasy Japan, from north to the island of Ganryu-Jima where everything happened between Musashi and Kojiro. The game is inspired by the story of Takezo Musashi from the famous novel “The Stone And The Sword”.

• Can skip cutscenes.
• Arcade presentation.
• The soundtrack sounds like a Street Fighter game.
• Animated background and foreground.
• Breakable objects for power-ups and bonus score.

• Combat feels meaty.
• Solid platforming.
• Plenty of hidden routes and rooms.
• You can dash, spin attack, slash, throw weapons like ninja stars, etc.

Ganryu 2 Review Cons:

• No difficulty options.
• You cannot move the camera around so you can be hot off-screen or land on spikes.
• Doesn’t have any tutorials.
• The difficulty feels cheap as it’s things like it’s slow to turn and attack when confronted from both sides.
• Checkpoints are way too far apart and don’t save any Collectibles meaning a lot of replaying the same section over and over.
• Boss battles are huge difficulty spikes.
• Doesn’t feel that rewarding.
