Yanchamaru sequel set in a themed world of mechanisms and spring traps. More inventive than the first in its levels. Still accessible and charming. Recommended for first game fans.

Is Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 2 - Karakuri Land still worth playing in 2026?
A sequel to Irem's platformer, Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 2 - Karakuri Land moves the young ninja into a world of mechanisms and gadgets, with a cuter tone and levels riddled with clever traps. The colourful art direction, the variety of situations and the snappy gameplay enrich the first game's formula in a more cheerful spirit. The difficulty stays present. Left in Japan, the title needs little text. For a fan of retro platforming or someone curious about overlooked Irem productions, the title keeps an inventive charm and a polished production.
