What is Vampire Hunter 2 - Darkstalker's Revenge?

The game should be considered essential by any aficionado of 2D fighting games and the Darkstalkers lore.

How to Play

Gameplay is pretty easy to grasp but demands skills and strategies. Button presses or combination of buttons make punches, kicks, special moves, and super moves. Characters in the game have their own movesets, and learning as much as one can from them is key to success. The game features a one-on-one fighting style and the opposite sides of the screen have health bars and special move meters populated against them. Defeating opponents and unlocking new characters will surely keep you entertained.

Tips & Tricks

• Get to really know your character and his or her moveset thoroughly. Every character has strengths and weaknesses, so knowing when to execute certain moves in a battle can really turn things around.
• Make wise choices regarding your super meter. Super moves inflict heavy damage but they have to cost their meter-an option you should only take at the prime time.
• Time to practise those combos. Combos help inflict more damage and stun your opponents, becoming a must-use tool in battle.
• Watch out for counter moves. Certain characters have options that can counter your attacks, so be prepared to defend yourself.
