Departure theme is so beautiful. Capcom Quest of Mega Man Zero 2. That episode with a lot of skills, forms and spikes!
It's official, keeping Rank A or S is just for those who already know the game!
Once again, that search for an utopian place corrupted a character's soul. TK31 (Elpizo) was the one who helped build resistance after feeling betrayed by Neo Arcadia. Now he seeks revenge, wants to destroy all humans and create a paradise for reploids.
Zero 2 came with many unlockable features. EX Skills are acquired after defeating bosses with a rank above A, greatly increasing the hero's moveset.
Forms (which are the colors of the armor) are mostly acquired by defeating enemies with specific weapons in a single mission. Ex: Power Form is conquered after pulling an item or enemy 30 times with the Chain Rod.
And of course Cyber Elves and weapon upgrades are back! I still think it's exaggerated to punish the use of Elves in the Rank, I prefer to stay in the low rankings.
I suggest that beginners go after this E-tank as soon as possible. The game is very punishable, Zero takes too much damage.
My biggest complain is the spikes, I don't know what went into the devs' heads, here there are too many of these in the levels! I died a lot xD
And about the bosses, none is difficult if you have a lot of HP, which I only got towards the end. So I reinforce the tip to go after that E-tank.
In the end, I believe it's a good game. Elpizo's story is great, the new features greatly increase the game's replay and the songs, especially Departure, are amazing. Great episode to finish this HUGE season!
