Two Strikes News
Unlock lore, steam achievements, cards, badges, emojis and backgrounds!
Hey everyone!
First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of updates over the past two months. We’ve been traveling to various events throughout September and also took some well-deserved vacation time. Thank you for your patience, and now, let's get started!
[h3]**Lore Update!**[/h3]
I'm thrilled about this update and excited to finally share it with you!
Today, we’re expanding on the lore of our beloved fighters. While you may already know that they were killed and that the Shinigami brought them to fight in the afterlife, you can now understand what happened before that: who they were, how they lived their lives, and how they met their ends. Each time you play in the One Life, One Strike, or Arcade modes, you’ll unlock a new page of lore for the character you played. Some characters have six pages, while others have up to eleven!
Shenyan and Hozoin have much more history than the others, haha.
Additionally, you can now access the Achievement page within the game, which mirrors the one on Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/stats/1586750/achievements. Here, you can track both the achievements you’ve unlocked and the ones you’re still missing.
But that’s not all! While playing the game, you can also unlock Steam cards, badges, backgrounds, and emojis.
[h3]**Other Updates:**[/h3]
I’ve removed the "Exit" and "Warrior Selection" buttons from the post-match menu. This screen is meant solely for displaying the game score. Since leaving a match mid-game isn’t an option in online play, we decided to apply the same principle to offline play. If you need to exit an offline match or select a different character, simply wait for the match to start and press Pause, which will function normally.
So, have fun and let the collecting begin!

The god of death challenges all the brave souls!
It's a great day for the Two Strikes fictional Japan. The key to the whole game is finally being introduced as a non-playable character. He will appear by the end of most of the single-player modes.
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
The lore of this game is quite rich. Not a lot has been revealed, yet, but this is the point we are finally starting to make sense of all this nonsensical blood shedding.
The Shinigami is the god of death. He is known for inviting humans to the Japanese afterlife. An invitation to what, you ask?
[h3]A tournament.[/h3]
Only a couple of selected warriors were invited by the Shinigami to a ghostly competition. That's right. All the characters in Two Strikes are already dead. There are a lot of clues in the art, I wonder who noticed.
The Shinigami's motivation is quite unclear. Is he just bored? You have to play the future story mode to find out.
[h2]Gameplay[/h2]
The Shinigami is the boss of the game. He will not be a selectable, playable character.
He is a shapeshifter. He decided to take what he considered the best attacks of each character. So yes, he can transform himself into any of the 8 playable characters:
Weak Attacks
- Kenji, Ayai, Goemon and Hozoin.
Strong Attacks
- Tomoe, Yasuke, Shenyan and Miyo.
He has the same anticipation for all these attacks, making it very difficult to predict what is coming.
Also, he can cancel any attacks, so be on the lookout for feints as well.
With art made by Tulio Mendes, I hope you enjoy this new addition to the Two Strikes Universe.

Small Patch / July 2nd
Hi everyone, small patch here.
The Story Mode is not finished. I accidentally left it unlocked. I hope this doesn't upset you too much.
It will be back once I finish it.
Thank you for your understanding,
Danilo Barbosa
