Spartan X 2

About

Spartan X 2 casts you as Johnny Thomas a young fighter navigating a gritty world of crime and corruption. You battle through slums subways and a smugglers ship to track down microchips that have twisted a father into a monstrous puppet. The game blends side scrolling brawls with timed challenges as you punch kick and dodge waves of enemies. Each level ends with a showdown against a boss bringing escalating tension to the grind. Irem released this title in 1991 for the Family Computer. Despite its age the game holds up for fans of old school beat 'em ups with tight controls and a relentless pace. Its single player focus and short playtime make it a no fuss action romp. The story may be straightforward but the punchy combat and varied settings keep it engaging for a quick session.
