Cyber Troopers:Z Gradt

Cyber Troopers Z-Gradt was the 2025 installment of Cyber Troopers and the first fully VR Cyber Troopers game, designed to take advantage of the new Sega Virtua ON. Which was developed after a patent lawsuit with Nintendo Sony Group after it was revealed that unlike OTL, the Nintendo ON was not a fan-made video and turned out to be a very real Patent.

The games plot revolves around a corporation called DNA creating a sentient AI called "Z-Gradt", this Sentient AI then wreaks havoc around the earth, creating Shadow Virtuaroids and massive tank like contraptions that were based on the original Z-Gradt from the 1996 game.

The game was known to have horror elements, such as your cockpit interface glitching before the boss battles, with gigantic Z-Gradt units, and the Shadow Virtuaroids, led by Jaguarandi. And unlike the 1996 game Jaguarandi stays the same size and does not shrink or increase in size, being as large as the Z-Gradt units and just as intimidating.

Z-Gradt also has a very low pitched mechanical voice, and is basically an angry computer just like A.M from "I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison.

This game was known for giving players nightmares, and was considered the darkest game in the Cyber Troopers series. Despite still having the bullet hell mechanics and arcade gameplay the games were known for. Reviewers praised the game, despite being the darkest game in the series. And are looking forward to the next Cyber Troopers game.
