Even though the main focus of Slayin’ 2 is the Story Mode, fans of the original should be excited that Arcade Mode has returned. This time around, Arcade Mode is not endless, but beating it is no easy task. Killing enemies gets you closer to leveling up, with bosses appearing every 10 levels. Playing co-op gives you the advantage of being able to resurrect a fallen comrade, at the cost of some of your own health.
After every boss, the mysterious merchant will appear to offer you some much needed aid… for a price. The merchant’s weapon choice this time around does not change, so learning the best weapon for each new area becomes part of the strategy.
We also added the ability to play with one plane (like the original) or two planes (like Story Mode). This can make things more intense, but also make it easier to obtain insane combos. Arcade Mode was designed to resemble something you would find in an old school cabinet, so we hope you enjoy it.
