    Bad game engine and almost perfect dialogues + sense of humor dominate this in-every-aspect conflicted game. But it's worth trying. [Issue#273]

    FANTABULOUS!!!

    This game is an absolute mix of everything, crazy humor, RPG elements, Final Fantasy, lots of cameos (Geralt, Dovakhin, Luffy, Lord Veldermort, Trachett, you name it!), drama, a little romance, a little betrayal, lots of sarcasm and plenty of originality.

    I swear I have not played a better game for ages, I mean some of the scenes I couldn't stop laughing, and there was not a game I remember that I laughed so much from (that drama entrance of Mordecai and his two sidekicks, and when the door shut back, I just lost it).

    Thought it's true that there are some imperfections, such as lack of large healing potions, ability tree is also rather laughable, not to mention potions long cd and rather difficult fights at some places but NONE of that matters, the plot, the dialogues and characters is what makes this game so special and so precious.

    It's similar to Bard's tale, but as much as I finished Bard's tale in a hurry and somewhat "I just want this to end" manner, Zenith made me afraid ... Afraid that at some point, this great adventure will come to an end, so I tried to delay the inevitable by checking out all the game's got to offer.

    Maybe the authors hit my kind of humor, but if you like good old sarcasm in the best performance available, you won't find a better game, trust me.

    As we all should agree that the Witcher is the best RPG of the year, so we all should agree that Zenith is the best comedy game of century! (Last time I laughed so hard was playing Monkey Island ...).

    LONG LIVE THE INFINIGON!    … Full Review »

    After getting the game through my gf's recomendation, I decided to give it a go as the trailers I had seen so far had been hilarious. 4 hoursAfter getting the game through my gf's recomendation, I decided to give it a go as the trailers I had seen so far had been hilarious. 4 hours in the game, and I can confirm that this is indeed a breath of fresh air and an amazing game!

    The sense of humour is on point, with lots of satire, sarcasm and pointed remarks at the topics of the RPG genre with no game left untouched, in a Bard's Tale-esque style. The soundtrack and storyline are so far excellent as well, with many moments that will make you let out a good chuckle or outright laughter. The only issues preventing this game from getting a perfect score would be the combat, which is a bit unbalanced and will have you die or panic-rolling around for a while while your health potions take at least one or two minutes to recharge, and the static camera that can sometimes be slightly annoying. Still, this is a great game that any fans of the RPG genre with a sense of humour will certainly enjoy, filled to the brim with hilarious references and sharp remarks at many RPG stereotypes and classics.

    Back to play it again!    … Full Review »

    Замечательная игра для тех кто насытился обычными рпг-играми. Хороший юмор, неплохой сюжет - 2 столпа на которых держится сие произведение.Замечательная игра для тех кто насытился обычными рпг-играми. Хороший юмор, неплохой сюжет - 2 столпа на которых держится сие произведение. Геймплей, графика, и дальше по списку всё либо терпимое либо оставляет желать лучшего. То как юмор дополняет сюжет и строит даже некоторые его ключевые фрагменты очень хорошо вписывается в повествование, от чего не выглядит вычурно. Вообщем, данная игра обеспечит вам несколько увлекательных вечеров удивительного приключения, в фэнтезийном мире с магией и техникой, орками, анимешными причёсками и другими простреленными коленями, на которые тут пруд пруди отсылок.… Full Review »
