Makeruna! Makendō 2 is a 2D fighting game featuring magical attacks.[3] The game features RPG elements, where you character can level up, and the higher your level, the more kinds of attacks the player has.[1]
It plays similarly to other 2D versus fighting games, in which the player's character fights against their opponent in a best of two-out-of-three matches in a single player tournament mode with the computer, or against another human player. In the original Super Famicom version, the gameplay has a traditional combo system. In the PlayStation version, the combo system and speed were increased.
