- User Score

Zeno Clash for the PC and XBLA is an indie fighting game set in the punk fantasy world of Zenozoik, a land of exotic places and bizarre creatures. Players take on the role of Ghat, a man banished by his own brothers and forced to begin a desperate journey for survival through the forbidden desert and to the end of the world. The gameplay has a strong focus on melee fighting blended with ranged combat using unconventional weapons. The innovative close combat mechanics are also a deviation from traditional action in the first-person genre that will feel fresh for new and veteran players alike.

Preview: Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition Preview
Zeno Clash originally reared its head in April of 2009 as a downloadable game on Steam. Built off the Source Engine, it wowed many a gamer and critic with its unique first-person "brawler" gameplay. It went on to become a finalist in the "Excellence in Visual Art" category at the 2009 Independent Games Festival competition, but lost out to the equally visually stunning Machinarium. Fast-forward to 2010, and Atlus is breathing new life into the visually bizarre brawler, bringing the title to XBLA as Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition, which will contain many tweaks that Chile-based developer ACE Team implemented for this release, as well as a few new modes to sweeten the deal.
