About Shank 2?

Shank 2, developed by Klei Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, is a sequel to the original 2D side-scrolling beat 'em up video game Shank. The game introduces a new multiplayer survival mode, updated combat mechanics, and a variety of new weapons. Unlike its predecessor, Shank 2 does not include a cooperative story mode, instead offering a two-player survival mode. The game maintains the comic book art style and side-scrolling beat 'em up gameplay of the original, with players once again taking control of Shanks and utilizing three different weapon types: knives, heavy melee weapons, and ranged weapons. In addition, players can collect temporary-use weaponry from fallen enemies and have access to a variety of munitions, including grenades, molotov cocktails, and proximity mines, which can be selected based on player preference and availability mid-stage.
