Sunday Longplay - Blaster Master Zero 2 (Switch) - 100%, True Ending

This week on Sunday Longplay, it's a brand-new indie game announced (and released) during last Wednesday's Nindies Showcase, and an even better sequel to one of my favorite indie games from the Switch's first year. Welcome to Blaster Master Zero 2! While the first game was more or less a remake of the original Blaster Master on NES (which is also available as one of the NES games for the Switch Online service), this game expands upon the formula and the lore and runs with it.

At the end of the first game, Jason Frudnick's tank Sophia III was possessed by the Mutant Core, with his support droid Eve trapped inside during the process. Jason stopped the core's infection by pulling Eve out of Sophia III and then destroying it with his new model, Sophia Zero.

However, Eve still feels the effects of the mutant infection in her body, and now Jason journeys across the solar system to Eve's home planet Sophia to find a cure. Unfortunately, he can't take Sophia Zero because despite its power, it is still a flawed prototype. So he creates a new tank named Gaia-Sophia, with a new system that restores its energy through hard landings.

On top of the new energy restoration system, this game also introduces a new counter mechanic for the overhead sections. When an enemy gets ready to fire, you may see a crosshair locked on them. Hit the counter button, and Jason will unleash a new move to strike first. Along the way, you'll also meet (and fight) other Metal Attacker tanks and their pilots. After you beat them and complete their main quests, they'll also give you a sidequest on a different planet. You're going to want to complete those if you want the true ending, because like the first game, you need everything in order to access the true final area, otherwise you get a premature bad ending.

This game definitely pulls fewer punches than its predecessor, but it's still not quite as hard as the first game's Destroyer Mode. But who knows, maybe Blaster Master Zero 2 will get its own Destroyer Mode later on. If you liked the first game, definitely pick this up!
