Noitu Love and sidekick Lori stopped him every time. Darnacus was killed, but his body was never found (dun dun DUN). "After that, peace returned and nobody thought back on it. But many years later, in the world of 2888, history will repeat itself in more ways than one."

Millenium has made a small selection of indie games to play this summer 2012 on your PC, iPad, portable devices or Mac.
Have you ever missed out on a game that you wanted to play because you had forgotten that it even existed? That’s what happened to me with the Noitu Love series. Lucky for me steam has reminded me that these games exist.
With a title like Noitu Love 2 we expected to be reviewing a Japanese dating simulator, naturally we found ourselves a little disappointed, where instead of the shy anime girls desperately trying to win my affections , we would actually be reviewing a Side-scrolling shooter/brawler series. This disappointment however was short lived as we were soon transported into a ridiculously colourful and up-beat 16-bit world, where we were free to bash robots to my giddy hearts content.
