About this game

Ganbare Goemon 2 returns Goemon to feudal Japan, where he battles corrupt enemies in a straightforward side-scrolling beat ’em up adventure. Ebisumaru joins the journey, adding simultaneous two-player gameplay.

The sequel reduces some of the maze-like elements of its predecessor and focuses more heavily on action, with new weapons and upgrades. Players can also explore stages, enter stores and other locations, and encounter humorous sequences that match the series’ lighthearted tone.
