Hunt for materials & food while fending off monsters in real-time battle environments; but don't forget to eat, sleep, & go to the bathroom (seriously, it's bad for your health & fatal for your party). With every life cycle lasting only 13 days, each clone’s stats, abilities, and capabilities differ as they grow from youths to old age. … Expand

    This mashup should work extremely well, but instead it comes across more as an interesting, but not always enjoyable, dungeon crawler with an oddball storyline. This tale becomes its saving grace as it slowly reveals each character’s backstory. Of course, the death and revival element is unique as well, though at times it proves frustrating more than anything else. Zanki Zero: Last Beginning provides an intriguing template that Spike Chunsoft may be able to refine into an amazing game with future attempts.

    It is a niche and very experimental sort of game that is very ambitious in what it sets out to do, but if you're a fan of the DanganronpaIt is a niche and very experimental sort of game that is very ambitious in what it sets out to do, but if you're a fan of the Danganronpa series, you won't be disappointed here. That said, this game would be perfect on the handheld as at times it does feel like a lower budget game. The ability to be able to pause and play whenever, wherever on the Vita or Switch would help right a few shortcomings this game presents.… Expand

It's mostly a dungeon crawler with RPG/Survival elements rather than being a true combination of all, and it's really not for everyone.
    Still, I rate it very highly because while the gameplay might be a little underwhelming, but the plot and characters are truly something else. Easily one of the most touching, emotional, and unique stories that is comparable to other Spike hits.

    If you're on the fence, give it a try. If the gameplay does not interest you, you can always bring it all the way down and blow through all enemies in one hit and just watch the story.

    It's got a nice soundtrack as well :)    … Expand
