  I've always had a soft spot for NCS games. They never seem to disappoint me and are always imaginative or should that be were imaginative. Since the pretty awful Langrisser Millennium on the Dreamcast, NCS Misaya have disappeared or at least have not been noticed by me. Anyway, Assault Suit Leynos 2 is the follow up to the Mega Drive Game Assault Suit Leynos and is not to be mistaken as the follow up to the amazing Super Famicom game Assault Suit Valken which was also by NCS Misaya and released and censored in the west by Konami in the west under the name of Cybernator.

This Saturn release is a very hard game to beat but that doesn't make it a bad game, just one that will last you quite some time. NCS have worked well with the Saturn's 2D powers providing unbelievable sized boss enemies that fill up the entire screen when it's zoomed out and don't even fit on the screen when it's zoomed in !! At first the controls can be quite confusing but after a bit of play you'll get use to them, which isn't such a bad thing.  Just make sure that you take it slowly in this game.  Charging down the screen will only result in certain death as many enemies come hurling towards you.
