About

Zeno Clash is an action/fighting game set in a punk fantasy world. The game is played from a first person perspective and the combat is generally up close and brutal.
Experience a deep storyline set in a fantastic world. Play the role of Ghat, a man banished by his own brothers and forced to begin a desperate journey past the forbidden desert and to the end of the world.
Nominated in 'Excellence in Visual Art' at the Independent Games Festival, the original visuals, which make full use of the Source engine features, breathe new air in the fantasy game genre. The new close combat mechanics are also a deviation from traditional action in the first-person genre that will feel fresh for new and veteran players.
Engaging melee combat in first person
The new melee combat system allows players to perform a variety of movements like deflect & elude combos, knockback finisher punches and punishing grab attacks. Learn new attacks as the game progresses and confronts you with more formidable foes.
Fantastic visuals powered by the Source engine
Players will be immersed in a fantastic world, beautiful and disturbing at the same time. The unprecedented art style brings a fresh new approach to the first person genre. The surreal environments and characters will keep players wanting to discover more.
Survival mode challenges
Jump right into the action in engaging unlockable "tower challenges". The player must overcome enemy waves to progress through the tower levels. The game will rate the player in different categories like speed and performance. A leaderboards system will rank you against your friends, so the challenge never ends.
Deep storyline
Players will play the role of Ghat; the son of a impressive hermaphrodite creature called Father-Mother, whose children form the most powerful clan in the city of Halstedom. Ghat must escape from his family and start an incredible journey with his female companion Deadra, who will aid him in the dangerous lands of Zenozoik.
Bizarre weapons
The game features an unusual arsenal of eccentric weapons that are built from scraps and junk. Hammers and clubs will be the most effective when fighting heavy characters that can only be brought down with extreme force.

Zeno Clash reviews and comments

A really fun combat system with great bossfight in an interesting bizarre world
Weirdly great

Play the Game about 2 h and somehow I'm not so fond of the Game. Actually Thought it was like a Sandboxing Game where you could freely explore the Area. Unfortunately, the Game is quite linear and consists of individual very small Maps where you have to close a few Opponents together and where the Story is told. The Combat System consists of Fist Blows (2), Kicks, Blocken/dodging and Counter, combining the Attacks together with Blocken/dodge. Usually you fight against several Enemies at the same time, but you can run away from one to the Ground and turn to the next, while the other slowly gets up. ... I can't tell much about the Story right now, but I seem to be okay. Not much is known in the Beginning and during the Game the Whole thing is gradually revealed. The Graphics are not particularly beautiful but extremely bad it is not either. What Makes the Game so special is the World with its quirky Creatures, all of which are totally oblique and unique in their own stray. Nevertheless, I can't really recommend the Game at the Moment, because I would have preferred to have had an open Game world in such a Setting and the Technique is not optimal, because in certain Places the Camera or The Frame rate jerks.

After 2 Hours the Game has come to an end and I would like to say my opinion about it now. Anyone who really overweighs buying the Game should read my Review. Story I spoiler here sometimes not at all I think the Story quite well managed many nice between Movies that advance the Story. It's Fun to watch and listen to what People have to say. Gameplay Now you Man Lynchure through a Lianre World that is strictly vogre-like and leaves no truly free. There are many Innt Desert Forest Etc. Looking the same way. In Gameplay it is so that you are roughing up with different move in Melee combat. The Game is quite good and is auc hRight fresh. Needs recording time though. And it sometimes hings sometimes he doesn't take the Controls properly and you don't hit. In any case, it is not too difficult. No Case for beginners. There are also really crazy weapons, but they do little damage. Therefore, the Game remains a Melee heavy action Game. Technique Yes the game is older but due to its crazy Style the very speciel is but I think it's a very good Game. And in my opinion, the Game dennoc HGraphically Looks very good. Especially the Light effects are very good. The game is just older but it looks quite good. Verdict Even if the Game 2H Went. I Thought the trip was very good. Mic already hed alnge no more a Game so captivated. I bought it at the Sale. Would buy it personally but also at the Full Price. Why? Now because the Fight is unique and you get more and more heavy opponents and you have to put that in what you have learned. A Cool Story and really cradled Graphics that is very special.
