Assault Suit Leynos 2 is a shoot 'em up video game originally released for the Sega Saturn exclusively in Japan around 1990. This game is the first of the Assault Suit series and so far only the Japanese counterpart was re-released for the Wii Virtual Console. A remake of this game was later released for the Nintendo in 2024 by City Connection.
Gameplay[]
Much like the original game, Leynos 2 is a 2D mecha action game.[1] The player's mech comes equipped with a jet-boost, a dash, and a shield, which were upgrades that had to be earned in the original game. Customization can be done before each battle, equipping various items earned through the game.[1] There are 50 weapons in total available in the game, as well as options to change the speed, maneuverability, and protective shields of the mech.[2] There are special upgrade devices that alter various characteristics of the player's mech, such as aiming and a radar system.[1] The game features a camera that zooms in and out to show less or more detail on screen.[2] The zoom range is determined by the range of the currently equipped weapon.[1]
Development and release[]
Assault Suit Leynos 2 followed the games Assault Suit Leynos for the Mega Drive and Assault Suits Valken for the Super Famicom. It was developed by NCS and Masaya Games. It was released exclusively in Japan on February 21, 1997, for the Sega Saturn.[3][4]
