Shank 2 returns with a story of redemption as Shank, a former mob hitman with a dark and vengeful past, is thrust back into action when the lives of those close to him are endangered. The game also introduces an intense, arcade-style, survival mode that has gamers working together to take down their foes, relying on the environment and weapon pick-ups for survival. Expanding on the original Shank’s rich and intuitive combat and control system, Shank 2 continues Klei’s tradition of making fluid brawling controls and stunningly beautiful visuals that leapfrogs the competition in the 2D side-scrolling genre.
