Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner
Mecha action game where you pilot the Orbital Frame Jehuty through combat-focused missions. You're Dingo Egret, ex-BAHRAM soldier who gets shot after refusing to rejoin his former commander. An agent named Ken saves you by plugging your dying body into Jehuty, forcing a partnership to take down BAHRAM. Unlike the first game, there's no civilian protection—just straight fights with an expanded arsenal. The shift came from deliberate design changes after the original's mixed reception, pushing harder into pure action. Missions chain together quickly, and the runtime is short. Europe got a Special Edition as its only release while North America and Japan received standard versions. If you want fast-paced robot battles without strategic layers slowing things down, this delivers that.
