Tim Hage from Tech Olive writes: "This is where I usually end up talking about how I didn't expect such quality from an indie game like this and that I am blown away by my expectations that Zeno Clash surpassed, but honestly? I had no idea what to expect of this game. Sure, I knew it would look great and the characters and world would be unique and interesting, but despite the gameplay videos I had seen, I still had no idea what to expect. I think this is the perfect way to go into a review, or even just a new game."
Zeno Clash debuted in 2009, and ahead of the series' revival we take a look at where it all begin with the very first game.
After almost a decade of waiting, fans are finally getting a sequel to the Zeno Clash series. Sector had their hands on Clash: Artifacts of Chaos during Gamescom and gave their impressions.
Abyss Odyssey is a great looking new multiplayer 2D side scrolling action-platformer (whew!) with impressive fighting mechanics, roguelike elements, and randomly generated environments.
The enemy characters all feature complex AI and a fully featured move-set equivalent to your own; meaning that the enemies are akin to a roster of fighters in a fighting game, requiring different tactics and skills to be vanquished. Once defeated, the player can capture the souls of their enemies, then use them as playable characters, each with their own abilities, combos, and special powers.
With it’s mixture of side scrolling platforming, plus action and fighter mechanics, this could have everything Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero so badly failed to deliver, and more. Stay tuned for details about release date and platform availability.
This looks great! If it has co-op, is a must buy for me - my gf just love anything side scrolling (she's currently in a love affair with Dragon's Crown). And I, obviously, love playing with her. :D
OMG This game looks awesome.
I've always wanted a Double Dragon or Streets of Rage type of game mixed with Street Fighter 2, and this is about as close as it gets.
Even if it ends up being just "ok", it's ideas like this that excite me about games.
These guys are actually trying to do something different, not just saying they are.
I wish them the best of luck. It's a cool concept.
