- Crunchyroll: Two Strikes is available now on iOS and Android
- Baki Hanma appears as an exclusive guest fighter
- Engage in hand-drawn 2D combat where every strike can end the fight
Crunchyroll Game Vault continues to broaden its library of premium mobile titles. This latest addition features the 2D fighting game Two Strikes, with Crunchyroll tapping into their extensive anime streaming legacy by introducing Baki Hanma from the eponymous series as an exclusive guest character in Two Strikes!
For those unfamiliar, Baki the Grappler is a truly wild series that leans heavily into martial arts tropes. The story follows Baki Hanma, son of Earth's strongest man, as he battles escaped convicts, fights giant imaginary praying mantises, and clashes with unfrosted cavemen—all within the "real world," adding to the absurdity of his adventures.
Now, Baki enters the strategic 2D arena of Two Strikes. In this black-and-white, hand-drawn fighter, players have very limited health. The key is positioning, blocking, and waiting for the perfect opening to defeat your opponent in a single decisive move.

Baki is an excellent fit for this release, showcasing Crunchyroll's smart strategy in leveraging its diverse franchise catalog. While competitors like Netflix and Disney Plus have secured some major titles recently, Crunchyroll remains the premier destination for top-tier anime worldwide.
Furthermore, Two Strikes stands out as a compelling game on its own merits. Its straightforward concept works just as effectively on mobile devices as it does on any other platform!
