The game takes place in the year 2200 and follows NOVA — the protagonist from the first Power Blade game — as he sets out on a mission from the U.S. Department of Defense
to destroy the Delta Foundation, who has created a new cyborg
that can threaten global security if it falls into the wrong hands. Just as in Power Blade, this game is similar in gameplay to the Mega Man

Power Blade 2 was made first in North America and was then released in Japan with the title Captain Saver. As in the first game, the title comes from a special powerup called the "Power Suit" — a suit which gives the player additional firepower capabilities.
The object of the game is to destroy the Delta Foundation. The Player can choose the order of the first four levels/buildings before unlocking Area 5. The objective in each building is to destroy the boss in order to destroy the building. After the player defeats the Area 5 boss you are sent to the final level.
One of the biggest changes to this game was the addition of 4 collectible power suits. Instead of finding a temporary power suit you can now collect 4 powerful suits by defeating a mid level bosses. The four suits are the Newtsuit, a suit that lets the player climb the ceiling and walls, the Wet Suit which allows the player to swim, a Rocket Suit that lets the player fly and a defensive suit called the Patriot Suit.
