Shinobi Coyote 2

Shinobi Coyote 2 is the Action, Adventure and 2D Platform sequel to the Shinobi Coyote video game made by Team Clarent Project. As with the previous game, it will be released for the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS handhelds, the PC along with the Android and iOS. Shinobi Coyote 2 features the protagonist of the series, a coyote ninja known as Yū ki, who must now take down a new foe bent on dominating the entire world after the fall and defeat of the Dark Empress.

As with the previous game, the music for Shinobi Coyote 2 consists of a blend of traditional Japanese music and a modern upbeat style of tune.

Prologue
The Dark Empress Kuroguro wanted to bring destruction to the entire world using the power of the Crystal of Time, an artefact that was guarded by the Coyote Ninjas before their extermination. However, her goals were stopped in the nick of time when the last Coyote Ninja, Yū ki, defeated her. Unfortunately for Yū ki (or the entire world for that matter), a new foe is willing to take the Dark Empress's place, this new enemy wishes to use the Crystal of Time now in Yū ki's care to change the world and rule it. Pursued by the minions of this new adversary, Yū ki must now protect the artefact his clan has protected for generations and prevent it from falling into very evilly dangerous hands.

Game Modes
The game modes for Shinobi Coyote 2 is still the same as it is in the previous game, giving it an old school approach, though there is a new mode added exclusively for the game. Start Game lets you play the game fully whilst Options is where you can change the difficulty, sound and screen settings. The new mode called Race Vs has you competing against another player with the game in a race to finish the level first before the other player does.

Gameplay
Just like the first game, Shinobi Coyote 2 plays in similar, traditional fashion to that of classic 2D platform adventure games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Rocket Knight Adventures and Zool. For Yū ki to defeat his foes, he uses his sword Hizamaru which can be given an elemental power boost by obtaining one of the element power-ups found in the level (for more information, see the Power-ups and Items section below). When you begin to play the game, Yū ki starts with 3 lives which is shown with the symbol ( 命 ), and 3 health points that are shown with the symbol ( 健 ). In order to progress through the game you must finish stages that are split into two parts, each with boss at the end of the second part of that stage.

Levels
Each level in Shinobi Coyote 2 (except the eighth level) is split into two parts. At the end of the first part of the level, there is a bunch of nobori flags which once you pass through them, you have completed the first part of the level and are now ready to begin the second part. When you reach the second part of the level, the boss of the level fights you, defeating this level boss will enable you to complete the level and go on to the next one.

Whoever this new foe is, her or she has sent their army after Y ū ki. Strike the enemies down as you pass through this calm, beautiful lake district area.

A city made entirely out of crystal, this level will have you jumping from wall to wall in order to progress through this level.
