Zeno Clash

Postby Peanut » Mon Jan 03, 2011 9:20 pm

Its been out for a while but you know what, this game deserves its own thread. For the uninitiated, Zeno Clash is like taking a romantic boat ride with the man or women of your dreams while people on each shore toss massive, chunks of fruit at you. It is occasionally like trying to knockout a brick wall with both hands tied behind your back. But usually, Zeno Clash is like that one road trip you took to some backwater, gas station or 7 Eleven because you all wanted some cheap food to eat and instead found sketchy looking people, weird creations, and Milkshake. If you haven't played or bought it yet...fix that...

It's Half-Life 2, but you punch weird things! : D

Nah, that doesn't quite sum it up. I played the demo and that made me interested enough to buy the full game. I haven't played the full game yet, but the demo was fun, though considering how much I struggled with it I dunno how far I'll be able to get...

Also, is it just me, or does the voice actress who plays the main character's female friend also play Ryfia ("I'm a Diva") from Arc Rise Fantasia? Maybe I'm mistaken, but they sound very much alike.

I'll say this is the one thing that amazed me about Zeno Clash. Despite playing on its version of the normal difficulty and having times where I really wasn't doing well...I still managed to get through the game. It's easy and forgiving enough that I think anyone who perseveres and just keeps playing will beat it eventually. Plus its worth it for just how weird the game is.

Everything I've read about the game says that all the voice actors were either members of the development team or friends and family of the development team...so I doubt it.

This game has some of the most satisfying crunch in a video game.

Also the voice acting is terrible.

And by terrible I mean awesome.

The art style hurts my eyes. Some of it is great some is bizarre and bad
