OMG Reviews and Stories
Review Recap – Windjammers 2
Windjammers 2 is the sequel to the Data East Neo Geo arcade game Windjammers. 28 years on in comes developer and publisher Dotemu. Dotemu are no strangers at bringing back classics, either by sequel (Streets of Rage 4) or port, with the original Windjammers ported on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 back in 2017. The great news is Dotemu have stayed loyal to the flying disc arcade romp and Windjammers 2 brings a satisfying arcade style game with an old school versus competition feel.
