Zenith is an action RPG that combines that feel of the golden era RPG games with a generous dose of humor and parody. The game counts with a solid story which unfolds in a fantasy world populated by dozens of unorthodox characters. Adventuring, exploring ruins, accidentally unleashing the apocalypse, saving the world youve done it all, and so has Argus.
And, frankly, hes a bit fed up with the whole thing. He used to be a wizard, which was fine and all, but hes in his 30s now, and he wants to settle down, get some peace and quiet. But thats not easy to get with all those spike-haired buffoons dragging their giant swords around and ruining the pavement.
Specially when youre trying to keep a dangerous artifact hidden from meddling heroes with a chosen one complex.
As a full-fledged action rpg à la Diablo this is merely average. Where Zenith shines is the humor and its delivery. Similar to The Bard’s Tale (2005) nothing in the genre is untouchable and will be used to get a punchline out of it.
Zenith is a game I wanted to enjoy more, and there are plenty of times I did have fun, but the combat was the most un-fun and unfair aspect of the game, and that’s what players will be doing the majority of the time.
Despite the glaring issues with Zenith, what kept me playing was the parody of other fantasy games, the really thinly veiled references to Final Fantasy and the dialogue dripping with sarcasm.
Bad game engine and almost perfect dialogues + sense of humor dominate this in-every-aspect conflicted game. But it's worth trying. [Issue#273]
