Return to Rengoku

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced that October will see the release of Rengoku II: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N. - a sequel to its PSP action title.

A sequel to Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory, the sequel expands upon the first game's fast-paced action and incredible replay value, adding more than 300 unique weapon combinations, and all-new level designs and multiplayer functionality.

Set in a dark and foreboding tower, Rengoku II: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N. runs parallel to the events of the first game as players assume the role of A.D.A.M., a battle android trapped in a mysterious tower filled with fearsome enemies. A.D.A.M's prison spans eight floors, with the first seven levels corresponding to each of the original Seven Deadly Sins, and A.D.A.M. must purge each of the mechanical scourge hosted within before moving on.

As players progress through the tower's uniquely designed floors, they will gain access to a high-tech arsenal of firearms, explosives and melee weapons necessary to defeat the hordes of enemies locked in with them. Similarly, by picking up rare and unique items from fallen enemies, players can access more than 300 unique weapon combinations, strategically choosing different armaments to eradicate their adversaries.

With character designs by renowned visualist Jun Suemi, Rengoku II: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N. features breathtaking graphics that immerse the player in the bleak, industrial world that A.D.A.M. has sworn to protect while providing visual clues of where the next battle will take place.

Boasting key new multiplayer modes, Rengoku II: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N. allows up to four players to engage in competitive combat through the PSP ad-hoc wireless system. Players can also wirelessly share portions of the game with other PSP owners to compete against friends that do not own the game. Downloadable content including maps, weapons and items will be also made available though the PSP infrastructure mode, letting players continue A.D.A.M.'s quest in new environments with additional equipment.
