World Heroes 2

World Heroes 2 is a game in the World Heroes series.

Story
Who is the strongest hero in history!? In order to solve this conundrum, a professor completed a time machine and used it to test the might of warriors from different ages. Unfortunately, he was unable to find an answer. A year later, six new heroes appear. Now, the largest battle of history is about to begin.

Development
According to ADK World, other famous people considered for the cast included Yagyu Jubei, Siegfried, Dracula, Sindbad, and Ramesses III. Other characters who didn't make the cut were an Aztec hero who moved like an animal, an European fencer, and a Native American lady warrior. Their ideas for a tiny Viking girl and Mexican pro wrestler served as a basis for Erick and Muscle Power.

Overview
World Heroes 2 added a few more characters, moves, stages, a new life bar selection option; making it a decent improvement over the original game. Players now have the option to change the classic "double life bars" layout into one life bar that goes back and forth as characters are damaged.
