Baki the Grappler Joins Two Strikes on Crunchyroll Game Vault

• Crunchyroll: Two Strikes now available on iOS and Android
• Baki Hanma joins the fight as an exclusive guest character
• Engage in hand-drawn 2D battles where any strike can be lethal

Crunchyroll Game Vault continues to grow its library of excellent mobile titles. The latest addition is the 2D fighter "Two Strikes," which is now live on the service. Crunchyroll is capitalizing on its anime heritage by introducing an exclusive guest fighter: Baki Hanma from the hit series of the same name joins "Two Strikes."

For the uninitiated, "Baki the Grappler" is an over-the-top martial arts saga that dials every trope up to eleven. It follows Baki Hanma, son of the world’s strongest man, as he faces off against escaped convicts, a giant imaginary praying mantis, and even an unfrozen caveman—all while the story insists it's set in the "real world," making the absurdity even more entertaining.

Now, Baki brings his relentless combat style to the strategic, black-and-white world of "Two Strikes." In this hand-drawn 2D fighter, health pools are minimal, emphasizing precise positioning, well-timed blocks, and capitalizing on openings to defeat your opponent in a single, decisive move.

Baki is a natural fit for this release, demonstrating Crunchyroll’s smart use of the franchises available on its platform. While Netflix and Disney Plus have secured some major titles recently, Crunchyroll remains the premier global destination for top-tier anime releases.

Beyond that, "Two Strikes" stands out as a compelling game in its own right. Its straightforward yet engaging gameplay translates seamlessly to mobile, offering an experience just as satisfying as on any other screen.
