Item Description

Most military shooters end at the border. Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road sends its commandos somewhere much stranger. Fresh from their jungle war, Paul and Vince are caught in a storm that hurls them thousands of years into the future, where an alien creature tells them the world has fallen under the rule of the monstrous Zang Zip. SNK brought its arcade sequel to the NES in 1988, and the leap from fatigues to full-blown science fantasy is a big part of its charm.

At its core it is still Ikari: a top-down run-and-gun march through waves of enemies, with grenades for anything your gun cannot reach. The new tricks are what make it memorable. Swords let the commandos cut down enemies at close range, and armor soaks up a limited number of hits before you are exposed again, so finding protection and holding onto it shapes how boldly you can push forward. Movement feels noticeably smoother than in the first NES Ikari Warriors, which keeps the fights quicker and the action flowing.

The opposition is a parade of alien creatures and monstrous guardians, and the landscape trades the first game's jungle for otherworldly ground on the long road to Zang Zip himself. Bring a friend if you can. Two players fighting side by side is how Ikari was always meant to be played, and having a partner covering the other half of the screen makes the onslaught manageable and twice as much fun.

Victory Road is the bizarre middle chapter between Ikari Warriors and Ikari III: The Rescue, the entry where SNK's straight-faced commando series decided it could go absolutely anywhere. Many players rate the NES version as a clear step up from the first port, and its time-travel premise makes it the Ikari game you end up describing to friends who have never heard of the series.
