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 popularized 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. I’ve already gotten my hands on this part of Shank 2 and I think it’ll please anyone who wants an update on Double Dragon-style action. You’ll be able to buddy up in Shank 2 next week.
