The sequel to the popular shoot 'em up game is guaranteed to deliver another fantastic fast-paced arcade-style experience and will be one of the must-have downloadable action titles.

Twenty years after the Virus Wars, you return to Gota IV as part of the newly formed Söldner-X defense force. Mankind will once more rely on your battle against new mysterious powers. Staged across seven unique action-loaded levels accompanied with an adrenaline pumping soundtrack, Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype combines traditional 2D gameplay with detailed high definition graphics and a taste of fresh innovations.
