Zeno Clash Review

Hello friends.

Today we will be talking about the fabulous game called Zeno Clash made by ACE Team. It is a source mod set in a whimsical and fantastic world inhabited by all sorts of strange creatures and people. The environments, characters, and visuals are diverse and extremely impressive. This game is beautiful. You will have several "Oh shit!" *points at screen* moments.



There is an old PC adventure game called The Neverhood. I felt like some of the environments were reminiscent of that. The level design is very well thought out, but can be linear at times. It doesn't detract though. The characters are imaginative and all have unique personalities. The voice acting is good, though I did not care for the main character's voice. The dialogue can be lame at times, but there is also humor. The curse word in this world is "kak." It's funny when they say it. The sound effects and music are superb and help set the tone and heighten the drama. I want to kiss this game on the mouth because it is so pretty.



You start the game by learning how to kick chickens. You are then thrown directly into a fight and the action begins. Before I get to that, I'd like to comment that the story is pretty damn good. I'll let you play the game rather then tell you the story. It is told through a series of long flashbacks. That's neat. Anyway, back to the kicking and punching. The main method of combat in this game is hand to hand combat. The game will teach you as you go. I feel like people would either love it or hate it. I had no issue with the system, but some may find it clunky. It's fun to use different combos and vary the strength of your punches. Additionally there are weapons like bone-swords, skull grenades, and fish-pistols. The design on these is great. Some of the fights get tough towards the end and it makes it really challenging and fun.



Additionally there is a challenge mode where you are timed and have to fight on several stories to the top of a tower . There are five different difficulties I believe. You can compare your times with your steam friends. This game has Sandpeople. It took me about five hours to play through. I did it in one sitting since it was so fun. Right now it is $15 on Steam. I purchased it on sale for about 5 dollars, so I suggest you wait for a sale unless you have the extra money. It is worth it. Highly recommended.
