Review

Assault Suit Leynos 2 Saturn Tribute manages to capture the essence of classic mech warfare that defined the original title while bringing it to a new audience. The graphics are a nostalgic nod to 90s gaming aesthetics, perfectly complementing the frenetic mech combat gameplay that fans of the genre adore. However, the game suffers from a repetitive mission design that can quickly become tedious, especially for modern gamers looking for variety. Additionally, control mechanics can feel clunky, particularly for newcomers to the series, which may detract from the overall enjoyment. Although it resonates well with longtime fans, the story lacks depth, making it less engaging for those hoping for a richer narrative experience.

Background information

Overall, reviews have been mixed, with many praising the nostalgia factor and gameplay mechanics, while others point out its shortcomings in variety and storytelling. Critics have noted that while it scratches that retro itch, it may not hold the same appeal for all players, especially those unfamiliar with the Assault Suit franchise.
