The Story Behind Shank 2

Shank 2 does not feature the cooperative story mode which appears in the previous installment, instead offering a two player survival mode. They have overthrown the government and Magnus has declared himself president, taking over much of the cartel's criminal activities. As the sequel to Shank, it features a new two-player survival mode, updated combat mechanics, and new weapons.

Klei Entertainment's Jamie Cheng said: "What we did was rip the game apart and reconstruct it to allow us to have more responsive controls and better graphics.

What You'll Play

Her animations and combat styles differ from Shank's. Shank 2 features a far more zoomed-out camera positioning than the original, meaning combat areas are larger and allow for more mobility within the flow of combat. Though she still uses the same arsenal of two knives, a heavy weapon, and a ranged weapon, her choices are different.

Shank has other attacks such as multiple grapple attacks, the ability to throw enemies, and a pounce maneuver, in which he jumps in the air and lands on a nearby enemy. Furthermore, whilst the original game featured a stand-in-place Block state and a large number of static moves during which the player was invincible, Shank 2 removes the mid-action invulnerability and static dodge, forcing the player to rely on timed rolls and mobile evasion. In general, her style uses faster but weaker attacks, and involves acrobatic motions over brute strength.
