Description

"Assault Suit Leynos 2," developed by Masaya and released exclusively in Japan for the Sega Saturn in 1997, is a direct sequel to the highly acclaimed "Assault Suit Leynos" (known as "Target Earth" in North America). Set in a distant future where humanity has colonized numerous planets, the game continues the series' tradition of intense mech-combat action. Players take control of a powerful humanoid mech, known as an Assault Suit, and embark on a series of missions to defend Earth and its colonies from various threats. The game is revered for its challenging gameplay mechanics and deep narrative that explores themes of warfare and human resilience.

The gameplay of "Assault Suit Leynos 2" significantly builds on its predecessor with enhanced graphics, more detailed mech customization, and a wider array of weapons. Each mission demands strategic planning and precise control, as players navigate their mech through complex battlefields, facing both ground troops and aerial adversaries. The game’s difficulty is known for being particularly high, requiring players to master the mech’s movements and weapon systems to progress. Although it never saw an official release outside of Japan, "Assault Suit Leynos 2" has gained a cult following among mech enthusiasts and retro gamers, praised for its technical depth and the sophistication of its design within the constraints of the Sega Saturn’s hardware.
