Splatterhouse Part 2

Splatterhouse Part 2 is a beat 'em up sequel where the player controls Rick, who returns to the cursed mansion three months after the first game's events to rescue his girlfriend Jennifer. Gameplay features side-scrolling 2D action with punch, kick, jump kick, slide kick attacks, and weapon use (melee, throwable, shotgun); eight stages end with bosses against grotesque monsters. New mechanics include difficulty settings (normal, hard, game master) and a password system for saving progress. Story involves Rick battling nightmares and the Terror Mask that tempts him with the mask's promise of power. Characters feature Rick and the enigmatic Terror Mask. What makes it stand out is its gory, over-the-top violence and retro horror beat 'em up style on Sega Mega Drive.
