This launch trailer for Shank 2 is a spectacle of gore and cartoony style. One of the sequel’s additions to the original downloadable game is Survival Mode, which you can get your bloodthirsty eyeballs on right here.
The sequel to Klei Entertainment’s cartoony stab-em-up brings me something that I desperately wanted from the first Shank: a frantic 2D twist to the waves-of-enemies gameplay popularised by Gears of War‘s Horde Mode. The nuts-and-bolts of Shank 2‘s Survival Mode get laid out in the clip above, which looks a lot simpler than it actually plays.
Shank 2, the sequel to Klei Entertainment’s stylish 2D pulp fiction beat-em-up, gets the drop on the PlayStation Network and PC on February 7, with the Xbox Live Arcade version lagging a day behind.
Klei Entertainment’s sequel to the stylish stab-em-up I — and many others — loved is scheduled for an early 2012 release. The clip above shows off new enemies and moves but the game still looks like the bloodiest Saturday morning cartoon never made.
Released through the EA Partners program last year, Klei Entertainment’s gorgeously gory sidescroller won legions of fans with its retro presentation and fluid animation. The one thing everybody wanted was co-operative play featuring the bandaged badass and his cohort Falcone. Your pleas were heard and the video above shows off how that’s going to look.
