Synopsis

Vampire Hunter 2: Darkstalkers' Revenge is the fourth game in the Darkstalkers series that features exactly the same cast as Night Warriors. The only difference in the characters comes mainly from the secret fighters found here and not in the other: a John Talbain on acids, even more stressful than the secret character of Vampire Savior, and an identical Oboro Bishamon, on the other hand. To these are also added the four characters of Vampire Savior: Lilith, Jedah, Q. Bee and B.B. Hood, to be unlocked also.

In fact Vampire Hunter 2 is a Night Warriors with the game system of Vampire Savior. So we find the characters and the story of the first, but with the gameplay of the second. When choosing the character, you can decide to play normal or turbo (speed of accelerated play), and with or without automatic guard (your character protects itself from basic moves if you do not touch anything).

The game is played with six buttons and implements all the specifics of the previous episodes: Super jumps (low then high), dashes (twice front or back), air guards, Guard Cancels (manipulations to remove the latency following a parade by triggering a special move), ES attacks (special moves more powerful than usual, made by means of two buttons instead of one), EX Specials that match super special shots of life-killing death, etc.

And then we also have the two main novelties of Dark Savior. First of all, the new life gauge system: the blows cause the opponent to lose a portion of life definitively, and another momentarily, so that if he is not touched for a moment, this portion recharges itself. And in the second round, the loser of the first recovery regains his whole life while the winner stays where he was.

As for the other novelty, it is the Dark Force. If you press the foot and fist buttons of the same power, you will switch to Dark Force mode. Your character then takes the pose for a moment (you are vulnerable during this period, and if you get hit the Dark Force is canceled), then the setting goes into psychedelic mode. A clepsydra appears under your life bar, telling you how much time you have left to enjoy this mode. Each character gains his own advantage: for example, Morrigan splits and attacks his opponent in a sandwich.
