What is Zeno Clash?


Taken from Steam:
Zeno Clash is an action/fighting game set in a punk fantasy world. The game is played from a first person perspective and the combat is generally up close and brutal.

Experience a deep storyline set in a fantastic world. Play the role of Ghat, a man banished by his own brothers and forced to begin a desperate journey past the forbidden desert and to the end of the world.

Nominated in 'Excellence in Visual Art' at the Independent Games Festival, the original visuals, which make full use of the Source engine features, breathe new air in the fantasy game genre. The new close combat mechanics are also a deviation from traditional action in the first-person genre that will feel fresh for new and veteran players.

* Engaging melee combat in first person
The new melee combat system allows players to perform a variety of movements like deflect & elude combos, knockback finisher punches and punishing grab attacks. Learn new attacks as the game progresses and confronts you with more formidable foes.
* Fantastic visuals powered by the Source engine
Players will be immersed in a fantastic world, beautiful and disturbing at the same time. The unprecedented art style brings a fresh new approach to the first person genre. The surreal environments and characters will keep players wanting to discover more.
* Survival mode challenges
Jump right into the action in engaging unlockable "tower challenges". The player must overcome enemy waves to progress through the tower levels. The game will rate the player in different categories like speed and performance. A leaderboards system will rank you against your friends, so the challenge never ends.
* Deep storyline
Players will play the role of Ghat; the son of a impressive hermaphrodite creature called Father-Mother, whose children form the most powerful clan in the city of Halstedom. Ghat must escape from his family and start an incredible journey with his female companion Deadra, who will aid him in the dangerous lands of Zenozoik.
* Bizarre weapons
The game features an unusual arsenal of eccentric weapons that are built from scraps and junk. Hammers and clubs will be the most effective when fighting heavy characters that can only be brought down with extreme force.


Zeno Clash is a new single-player game based on the Source Engine, and was developed by the Chile-based ACE Team, founded by the Bordeu brothers who previously worked on DOOM and Quake mods.

It can be described as a first-person-brawler, where punching people in the head is the main course, and lobbing skull-grenades at them while they lay down, dessert.

    That looks severely fucked up and highly stylized, so I'm immediately very interested.

    Now a sense of any actual substance would be nice.

    I'll be the first to say it... this looks freaking awesome. Best artistic direction in a 3D game since... since... Shadow of the Colossus? I can't think of anything else that looks remotely like this, to tell the truth.

    The guns remind me of the ones in eXistenZ for some reason.

    In fact the whole thing feels kinda Cronenberg.

    I made this OP about 30 seconds after I saw the trailer. It's being built using the Source Engine, and I'm really looking forward to it. I adore nonsensical design like this.

    Oh man, the character design is awesome. And I love the messed up premise, as little of it as the trailer provides.

    This looks very interesting. I hope it can be as frantic as a first person fighter would be without being frustrating.

    Jesus, the crossbow has shrunken heads as part of its tension system. I'm pretty sure this is what happens when Tim Burton does acid.

    I can't not buy it.

    It's also going to be distributed via Steam sometime in the fourth quarter of '08. Got my fingers crossed that it's a quality product.

    Man I'm an idiot. I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced and it never crossed my mind to post about it here. Oh well. The developers post on the forums on their website so it's worth hanging out there. The game looks really cool; the story's kind of interesting and, well, you can make your own decisions about the art. I for one think it's a breath of fresh air.

    Saw this earlier this year, it looks Weird, really weird. Also that teaser manages to be kind of creepy despite being so bright and colorful. And the narrator got a creepy voice(voices?)

    we should make it law that everyone who posts must attempt to describe it in a sentence.


    So it's basically Dark Messiah in the world of The Neverhood with creatures from Dark Crystal and Spore and Dr Seuss on acid
