Arny's Battle 2

Arny's Battle 2 was one of those games you'd find buried in a Flash portal, a straightforward action title from that era of browser gaming. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick, chaotic shootout, and that was its appeal. You just loaded it up and jumped into the fight.

You control a soldier, Arny, moving through compact levels filled with enemy soldiers and vehicles. The moment-to-moment play is simple: you use the keyboard to run and dodge, while aiming and firing with your mouse at anything that moves. Your main goal is to clear each area of enemies to progress. You can switch between a small arsenal of weapons, from a basic rifle to a rocket launcher, to handle different threats. The game moves at a brisk pace, and the difficulty comes from the sheer number of enemies that pour onto the screen, forcing you to keep moving and shooting. It feels like a concentrated burst of noisy, uncomplicated action.
