Dingo Egret is going about his normal routine of looking into a secret power source called Metatron when all of a sudden, BAHRAM ambushes his mining crew. Dingo Egret is caught off guard. After he learns that the source of the Metatron is actually an abandoned war machine named Jehuty (which was first glimpsed in the first Zone of the Enders), he makes the decision to employ the machine in his fight against the BAHRAM.
Dingo quickly comes to the realization that there is more to the story than simply one person’s desire to possess a powerful gadget, as betrayal and evil power come into play. It is up to you to maintain control of the Jehuty and foil any schemes hatched by the BAHRAM to use it for nefarious purposes, at any price.
The film Zone of the Enders was followed up with a sequel titled Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. It is an action game, much like its predecessor, that focuses on the player operating the huge mecha Jehuty (either by walking or hovering in the air), engaging in battles against other robots, and employing his energy sword as well as additional weapons and skills. The player does not have to navigate the game’s “global map” like they did in the original game because they are automatically taken to the next stage. Jehuty can improve his talents by gaining experience and eliminating adversaries in battle. After completing a boss fight without taking any damage, the player is rewarded with a sub-weapon. In addition, the user is given the opportunity to test out the game’s special VR training missions or engage in a battle against a friend in the game’s two-person battle mode.
