ExZeus 2 is an third-person arcade shooter game originally developed by HyperDevbox and published by Ziggurat Interactive. It is the sequel to ExZeus and was developed using the Unity engine.
ExZeus 2, unlike its predecessor, was initially released for iOS and Android devices in 2012. The game was re-released on the Microsoft Store on June 16, 2014 for Windows 8 or later. The 2014 version, however, does not have rebindable keys and has limited video settings. Another PC version was released in 2017 through Amazon, itch.io, Game Jolt, Steam, and through the developer's website via Humble, which features some controller improvements, rebindable keys, some improved lighting effects, and can be played on Windows 7 or later, but the limited video settings are left unchanged. The 2017 version, however, was initially free-to-play as the game required paying for credits and players are given 3 three credits to play the game; the commercial v1.6 releases has removed the virtual credits system.
This game will be re-released as part of the ExZeus: The Complete Collection.
