Zeus: Carnage Heart Second (ゼウス カルネージハートセカンド Zeusu karunējihātosekando) is a single player sci-fi simulation game released by Artdink for Windows in December 1999 for japan only.

Gameplay

The game takes place in a future where conflicts are fought by hi-tech war machines. These robots are named Overkill Engines (OKEs), the player cannot directly control them ingame but you have to buy components and program their behavior for various battle conditions. You can also purchase, research, or upgrade new equipment, parts and the robots themselves in order to use them for more time. The basic system is the same as the previous zeus games, but it has made significant improvements such as strengthening the graphic aspect, improving operability, new aircraft and logic program. The PC version had a function to exchange OKE data via Internet mail. Although it seems that a scenario is also added, otherwise it is a direct port of the Playstation version.
