About This Game 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. The Zeno Clash Model Pack for Garry's Mod The pack includes 70 models with the characters and creatures to be used with the popular Source engine mod Garry's Mod. "This is a great addition to the existing library of assets and we really hope the fans will enjoy the content and start developing their own Zeno Clash inspired videos, screens or machinima." says Andres Bordeu from ACE Team. Zeno Clash owners can download the free DLC from the Tools tab in their Steam client. 7aa9394dea Title: Zeno ClashGenre: Action, IndieDeveloper:ACE TeamPublisher:ACE TeamRelease Date: 21 Apr, 2009 Zeno Clash Download For Pc In Parts It's not a bad game. Nice surreal art and good but short story. The main fighting mechanic feels unresponsive and may irritate you. If you are waiting for a major game and you don't know what to play. You can try this game. Don't forget to get it on sale.. Pros: Bizarre beautiful unique world. Intriguing story but I didn't get through because of cons.Cons: Combat is so bad and annoying it's not worth playing.. \u2605\u2605\u2605\u00bd - [3.5\/5] - Very GoodThe first thing that you will notice about Zeno Clash is how unique the artstyle, characters, and environments are. The environments in Zeno Clash do a great job of capturing the world by having oddly shaped plants, unique animals, and cities that possesses buildings made up of random scraps and strange architecture. What stands out the most to me, in terms of the art, is how well-designed and interesting all of the characters are. All the characters in the storyline are vastly different and possess interesting details such as tattoos, hats, and other accessories that add to their individuality. As the story progresses you learn all kinds of interesting facts about the people who inhabit the world of Zeno Clash and you are introduced to many more wonderful characters throughout the storyline. The characters are captivating by themselves and the relationship dynamic between the two main characters is endearing. So with all this, in addition to the mystery of Father-Mother\u2019s death I found myself completely captivated by the plot and even found the resolution to be quite rewarding.The core of Zeno Clashe\u2019s gameplay system is first person melee combat. While there is not a huge amount of depth in this melee system, it does provide enough complexity to be enjoyable. This melee system on it\u2019s own would likely become stale, however since the game does a phenomenal job of rapidly changing levels and slightly altering the gameplay loop by use of various weapons this never comes close to being an issue. These different weapons that you encounter add a lot to the combat and assist in changing up the gameplay formula frequently with some levels and bosses being dedicated completely to the different weapon types. Having the first person melee system mixed in with so many different types of weapons creates an overall combat system that can vary a good amount and offers a lot of options on how to eliminate different enemies.An area of the game that really shines is how impactful each encounter feels. Each battle starts off with this really cool VS title card. It just sets the stage for an epic fist fight to happen and even though it is used for every encounter it never once got old. This is most likely due to the brief nature of the game which clocks in at just under four hours from start to finish. However, every minute of time spent in the world of Zeno Clash is fulfilling and there isn\u2019t a second of filler content in the story or gameplay. Since there is no type of padding in the game you find yourself constantly taking on new objectives such as hunting for food, fighting several different bosses, and gunning down enemies. This amazingly well-done pacing of the game allows for it to be relentlessly fun and entertaining, the developers could have easily padded the game with unnecessary enemy encounter in order to lengthen the game. But thankfully, they didn\u2019t and this is probably one of the top reasons that is still holds up so well even ten years later.There are a few minor issue with Zeno Clash unfortunately. The most obvious being the really narrow field of view that the game has by default. It can feel extremely claustrophobic at times when inside of buildings and is just so limited in the amount of the environment that you are able to see. While you may not be able to adjust the field of view option in the menu you are able to adjust a few text files in the games folder in order to get the game to have a higher field of view. But, this does result in a few very minor visual issues such as disappearing parts of the sky and for some reason made the cross hair for my guns disappear. The last nitpick I have is that it feels like you can cheat the game a bit by constantly kicking enemies once they have fallen on the ground.Overall, I think Zeno Clash, especially for a game that is ten years old at this point, is very good. It is absolutely a title worth picking up if you are interested. There really are not to many good first person melee combat games and adding on the unique setting and art style Zeno Clash has I would say that it is truly a gem of a game. Just be aware that is pretty easy and a rather brief experience, but it is a title will stick with you even after completion because of how well done the pacing is and how truly imaginative the story and characters are.https:\/\/youtu.be\/8bn5fYRMFe8. \u2605\u2605\u2605\u00bd - [3.5\/5] - Very GoodThe first thing that you will notice about Zeno Clash is how unique the artstyle, characters, and environments are.
