Description

"Keio Flying Squadron 2," developed by Victor Entertainment, is an adventurous platformer unique to the Sega Saturn, initially released in 1996. As a sequel to the original "Keio Flying Squadron," which was a side-scrolling shooter, this installment takes a different turn by delving into the platform genre, while preserving its distinctively whimsical and quirky essence. Players assume the role of Rami Nana-Hikari, a young girl who dons a bunny costume to assume her responsibilities as the guardian of the Secret Treasure, a task passed down through her family. The game masterfully blends traditional Japanese folklore with eccentric, light-hearted humor and vivid, cartoon-style graphics that give it a distinct identity.

"Keio Flying Squadron 2" stood out during its time for its vibrant visuals and engaging gameplay mechanics. It transports players through a variety of challenging environments, each filled with unique enemies and inventive obstacles. Combining run-and-jump gameplay with flying segments — where Rami pilots different mythical creatures — the game offers a dynamic and varied experience. Despite its relative obscurity, especially in the Western markets due to limited release and the dwindling popularity of the Sega Saturn, the game has garnered a cult following. Its rarity and unique charm make it a prized collector's item and a beloved memory for those who experienced its quirky adventure during the heyday of the Saturn.
