Part 12: Ice Storm
The chase continues as we tackle the next two temples. Leviathan has little interest in what Elpizo’s doing, but once we actually catch up to our former commander, we might find him to be in quite the state now that he’s close to his goal…
Part 13: The Wish Punished
Zero has reached the heart of Neo Arcadia… no, not the one from last time. This time it’s Yggdrasil. The Dark Elf’s power is sealed away at the top of the tower, and the only way there is up through a gaggle of fanatics with familiar faces. Zero can carve his way through these enemies, but just what awaits him him Elpizo succeeds in completing the Dark Elf?
Ah, Dr. Weil. He’s kinda asshole for asshole sake.
Is nominal determinism real, or did Dr. Weil have enough sense to change his name before committing innumerable crimes?
It’s been two months since Zero’s battle with Elpizo. The Dark Elf is still missing, and relations with Neo Arcadia remain tense. Luckily, Ciel has just about finished her new energy system, and if all goes well it could be the key to ending hostilities for good. Which means, of course, a new wrench is about to be thrown in the works. A strange ship has crashed into the planet, and it bears a similar reading to the Dark Elf. What that could mean remains to be seen, but in all likelihood it will lead to more trouble…
We’re halfway done with the Zero games, and if you thought the last game was a change from the first, this one’s even bigger. Weapon levels are out, we’ve got equipable ability chips, and most importantly the Cyber Elves don’t have to die to be used! The base game’s about the same in that you’ll die quickly if you’re not careful, and the ranking system is still a little judgmental if you’re not used to it. But if you’ve been put off by the first two games, this one might be mire your speed. Just, you know, make sure you’re up to date on the plot. You won’t be confused if you don’t, but we will be getting some emotional payoff this time around.
Part 1: Exiled One
A mysterious signal has caught the attention of the Resistance. Zero heads out with Ciel and a few guards to check out the situation, and find a massive ship crash-landed at the source. Whatever is in it seems to have similar readings to the Dark Elf, but what that could mean remains unknown. And of course, Neo Arcadia is already investigating as well. Could this day get any more bizarre? The answer probably won’t surprise you.
