What it is
Blaster Master Zero 2 is Inti Creates’ side-scrolling and top-down action-adventure sequel, released for Windows in 2019. Jason and Eve leave Earth with Fred aboard the G-SOPHIA battle tank, seeking a cure for Eve after mutant parasites infect her. The tank’s Gaia System turns energy from falls or damage into SP for its weapons and functions, making movement and survival part of managing its capabilities. Jason can also use BLAST COUNTER to strike when enemies attack, creating an opening for weapons. The journey brings the pair together with other pilots, support droids, and Metal Attacker tanks. The game is single-player and includes Steam Achievements, Trading Cards, Cloud support, and Family Sharing. Controller support is partial. It is tagged as Action on Steam; its listed genres also include vehicular combat, Metroidvania, platformer, and shooter.
