World Heroes 2 is a fighting game for the TurboGrafx CD, featuring a time-traveling tournament with returning characters from the original game alongside six new fighters. The game introduces enhanced graphics, new stages, and an updated soundtrack. Notable mechanics include the ability to reflect projectiles and a refined Death Match mode where life bars fluctuate based on damage dealt. Players aim to defeat all challengers to uncover the tournament's secrets.
The time-traveling tournament fighters are back! The original eight characters from the previous game return, along with six new characters hand-picked from several different eras and locations all through time. Who or what is behind this new tournament? In order to find that out, the strongest fighter must defeat all the opponents, win the title, and face the one who has all the answers.
The second World Heroes game features new stages and music, as well as improved animation and graphics. Fighters can now reflect projectile moves at their opponents, and reverse normal throws if the player's timing is right. The original game's Death Match mode is also back, but with a new feature – the life bar will increase or decrease as the fighter inflicts or receives damage. If the player manages to get his fighter's life bar to 100%, the enemy will lose.
