Yomi 2 reimagines the intensity of classic fighting games through a strategic card-based system. Developed by Sirlin Games, a studio co-founded by a lead designer from Street Fighter and Fantasy Strike, this title aims to capture the essence of those beloved genres.

Players will delve into the unique mechanics of their chosen character, mastering intricate combos and learning to anticipate their opponent's moves.

Overview

At its core, Yomi 2 is a strategic card battler where each card represents a specific action, such as attacks, blocks, throws, dodges, and special abilities. The gameplay revolves around managing your hand, making tactical decisions about which cards to play, and understanding the rock-paper-scissors nature of combat – for instance, throws are designed to beat blocks. A key mechanic is the "Fighting System Exchange," allowing players to swap a card from their hand with one from their discard pile each turn, provided both cards feature the exchange symbol. This offers a dynamic layer of strategy, enabling players to build stronger combos or shore up defensive weaknesses.
