The year 2001 saw the release of Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars , a GameBoy Advance action & adventure game. In the distant future, humanity is at war with its colonies on the moon, Mars and Jupiter. You take control of a young man who finds himself in possession of a new type of L.E.V. and stranded on Mars.
Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars features an alternate storyline within the Zone of the Enders series. Gameplay alternates between story sequences and tactical turn-based combat, where you control a number of L.E.V.s on a square grid map.
The game includes various types of L.E.V.s with different attributes such as speed, durability, movement range, and armament. Combat is governed by the I.A.S. (interactive action system), which allows for strategic aiming and dodging.
