    I am so grateful that I got this for 4 bucks... back in the day, when the price was 19 I almost bought it. And still I feel sad that I spent 4 bucks on it.

    The game starts with a strong note, I give you that. The graphics are not bad (not great either) and there is some nice humor and fun combat. For a couple of hours I really thought this would be entertaining. And then... you leave    I am so grateful that I got this for 4 bucks... back in the day, when the price was 19 I almost bought it.

    The game starts with a strong note, I give you that. The graphics are not bad (not great either) and there is some nice humor and fun combat. For a couple of hours I really thought this would be entertaining. And then... you leave the city and discover the world map and the 1 hour long loading screen to enter a battle. And the 1 hour long loading screen to get back to the map... and it's not like you get anything (there is no leveling system, just some gear upgrades). I am sorry, but this won't do... it's unbearable.

    If you manage to go through this and finish the game, let me know. With so many options out there, there is no way in hell I am going to invest my time on this game. Zenith could have been a nice, small, indie game. But, as of now, it's a broken, unpolished mess.    … Expand

    A fun game due its jokes, but not the most polished one. Zenith can be considered ugly, his AI dumb and the graphics aren't great... And even with that, it still entertains.

    Zenith’s gameplay issues don’t stop it from being a very workable system in a very entertaining genre. If it was devoid of its plot (or, better yet, with a more interesting narrative), I’d actually be arguing that it’s an enjoyable little game. However, the relentlessly juvenile attempts at humour never let up, and I didn’t laugh once. I think that says all that needs to be said about Zenith’s fundamental issues.

    You are never at risk of encountering anything unexpected when playing Zenith, but cutscenes are unpredictable and quite intelligently written (and even well directed at times), so they are genuinely entertaining. But the game is an action RPG by the numbers, and it gives the distinct impression that it is a vehicle for delivering the comedy. This would be fine, but that vehicle would need to be enjoyable and on this one, the wheels have fallen off.
