A "reboot" of Senko no Ronde DUO, with revamped gameplay mechanics, redrawn character art, and a rewritten Story Mode.


Overview

Senko no Ronde 2 (also known in Japan as Senko no Ronde 2: Reassembly From "DUO") is a 3D sci-fi fighting game developed by G.rev and released digitally by Chara-Ani (Degica Games (Company) outside of Japan) for the PlayStation 4 (Platform) and PC (Platform) on September 6, 2017. A revamped home version of the 2009 game Senko no Ronde DUO (Game), Senko no Ronde 2 replaces the "Partner" system with a new "Support Ability" system. It also features redrawn character art, a rewritten Story Mode, and DLC guest characters from the Cyber Troopers Virtual-On and Assault Suit (Franchise) series.

Pilots, Rounders, and Operators

The game includes all 14 characters from Senko no Ronde DUO (Game), with 4 added post-release (two of which are from the original Senko no Ronde and two of which are guest characters), for a total of 18 characters. Unlike DUO, the Partners (now "Operators") in the game are no longer selectable, with players instead choosing a Support Ability. Each Pilot now has their own Rounder and Operator.
