Rise 2: Resurrection is a 1996 2D fighting game developed by Mirage Technologies for the PlayStation. As the direct sequel to Rise of the Robots, it continues the story of the cyborg Coton battling a variety of metallic opponents. The game utilizes pre-rendered CGI graphics for its fighters and introduces an expanded roster, a combo system, and finishing moves to differentiate its combat from the original.
How to play
The objective is to deplete your opponent’s health bar across standard fighting match rounds. The PlayStation controls use the D-pad for movement, with the face buttons (Cross, Circle, Square, Triangle) handling different punches and kicks, and the shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2) for blocking or special inputs. In the browser emulator, use the arrow keys to move, Z, X, A, and S for your primary attacks, and Enter for Start.
Tips
- Each robot has a unique set of special moves and combinations; learning your chosen fighter’s basic combo strings is far more effective than button mashing.
- The AI can be aggressive, so prioritize learning how to block and counterattack effectively.
- Experiment with the unique finishing moves once an opponent’s health is depleted to end the match decisively.
