A robot action game based on the Virtual-On series featuring mecha duels in futuristic arenas. Arena gameplay is dynamic but the transition from arcade twinsticks to standard controllers loses precision. A niche title appreciated by franchise fans.

Description
The Japanese edition of Cyber Troopers - Virtual-On Marz, released by Sega in 2003. A Virtual-On sequel built around an extensive single-player campaign and an expanded Tangram mode. Its main limit remains the difficulty of reproducing the arcade twin-stick precision on a standard DualShock pad.

Dennou Senki - Virtual-On Marz (PS2) price, value & rarity
An entry in Sega's Virtual-On mecha-fighting series, which here favors a solo adventure mode alongside its high-speed arena duels. Its interest lies in the aura of this cult robot series and its handling designed for the twin-stick controller rather than scarcity. A piece sought by Virtual-On fans attached to an episode often seen as apart within the line.
Is Dennou Senki - Virtual-On Marz still worth playing in 2026?
A mecha action game from Sega, Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Marz brings the Virtual On robot fighting series to PS2, in lightning fast arena duels where two mechs move and fire in 360 degrees, rounded out with a story mode and co-op. The snappiness of the movement, the strategic lock on and the technical handling make it a demanding, singular experience. The absence of the original twin stick controller weighs on the feel. A title for fans of technical mech combat and Japanese arcade versus on PS2.
