OverBlood 2

The game features an introduction and seven episodes, plus a hidden bonus episode unlocked by earning 2000 Clear Points. Between most of the episodes, which are all set in different locations, the player generally has the option to explore the main city where the game begins in order to buy items, weapons, talk to non player characters and find hidden perks in the game.

A free-camera view allows the player to control their view within the 3D environment. The game makes several references to the previous title, most noticeably with the character Raz Karcy the protagonist from the first game.

Overblood 2 takes place in December, 2115. Seventy years after "Earth's Sudden Death", a sudden rise in global temperature caused by unknown reasons. The catastrophe led to the death of 20% of the human population. Ultimately, Earth's climate was stabilized by the construction of 87 air cooling towers all over the globe. The primary setting of the game is East Edge City, an artificial island city located off the southern coast of New York and the site of the 80th air cooling tower.

The game opens with ITP agent Chris Lanebecca tracking Veltor Curtis under orders from her superiors. Upon arriving at East Edge terminal, the main protagonist Acarno Brani, an ambitious Junk Blade pilot, has a premonition of Veltor being attacked. Veltor is then ambushed by a powerful, mutating villain called Kondo. Despite assistance from Chris, Acarno is unable to rescue Veltor, who gives Acarno a mysterious capsule and tells him to escape.

The game was announced in August 1997. Mark Estdale, an industry veteran, looked back on his work on the localization of the game in an interview with GameCulture. He stated, "I read the script. It was awful, translated to English from Japanese by Italians so I suggested rewriting the English to match the stylized Japanese, or making it into an acted comedy or to scrap the whole thing.

I was told the script was perfect and couldn't be changed and that we must do it with seriousness. We squirmed and the actors wept. When the game finally came out we discovered amongst many painfully awful mistranslations that the hand bomb throwing device was a grenade launcher and the whorehouse key level was actually a warehouse."

In an import review of the game, GameSpot criticized the excessively long cutscenes, along with the slow performance of the game engine. OPM UK criticised the game as a "pale imitation of Final Fantasy VII with its heart ripped out" and gave it a score of 4 out of 10.

The OverBlood series was the subject of the online video blog series Super Replay by the editors of Game Informer magazine. During the Super Replay, the editors criticized the lack of the ability to skip cutscenes, the convoluted storyline and the general lack of direction. They occasionally praised it for its ambition.
