Game Details
About:
A Famicom adventure game developed by Taito and based on an obscure Japanese movie of the same name. Kyonshiizu is the Japanese name for Jiang Shi, the Chinese hopping vampire.
Story:
Kyonshis 2 is an action adventure game by Taito and is based on the movie in the same name, which in turn was a sequel to a movie known in the west as Mr. Vampire. The game itself does not have a predecessor: while Phantom Fighter is based on the previous movie in the series, the game came after this one and is unrelated. The game plays like a graphical adventure game with menu commands, a popular Famicom genre at the time, with additional action sequences. The player must walk around town hunting for clues about the roaming Jiang Shi (Kyonshi) while occasionally fighting said creatures and other enemies.
