Even though most sub-quests involve killing X amount of Y monsters, the combat is fun enough even though it’s kind of repetitive.Įnemies spawn pretty quickly so you’ll find that at some stage, it’s best to just ignore them once a while and dash through the screens. The quest log reminds you what to do and also gives a map location so you don’t need to memorize them as you play. The sub-quests are quite balanced and they are not being thrown at you frantically. There is always someone to meet, main characters to talk to, and a few sub-quests to do as the story progresses. As you cut through the enemies by pressing that attack button frantically, you’ll have a great stress reliever game on-the-go. Grinding and progressing through the game are quite fun though as ZENONIA 3 uses real-time action battles compared to turn-based RPG games. The inventory, as a result, is a little bit tedious to manage. A new interface feel is great, but it doesn’t really mean for the better. It feels as if the team who designs the interface is totally different from ZENONIA 2’s. I do find that the interface overall is a bit small on the inventory/status/skill menu, especially compared to ZENONIA 2.

The graphic looks great – kind of a mix between cute and cool: You control your character with a D-Pad and a few on-screen buttons (for the basic attack and quick slots/abilities). I find it fun to play as there are countless battles while you play ZENONIA 3 and it’s important to pick a class that you like. Since I picked a magician in ZENONIA 2, I decided to go for the Shadow Hunter this time. I’ve only tried the other 3 classes for 5-10 minutes so I couldn’t really explore all the available skills but suffice to say, this gives a good replayability with a different class to play. When you level up, you have to distribute your attribute points and also these skill points to your chosen abilities. You start a new character in ZENONIA 3 by picking one of the four classes: Sword Knight, Shadow Hunter, Mechanic Launcher, and Nature Shaman (or in simple terms: Warrior, Rogue, Hunter/Shooter, and Mage).Įach class has its own skill tree and distinct abilities. Of course, like most RPG games, it is an ultimately a battle between good and evil storyline but I don’t really want to spoil it here. Stronger he then becomes, after being trained by his dad and accompanied by his little talkative fairy. You are playing as Chael, a small brat who kept on getting bullied (and actually had to be rescued by a girl – loser!) and then wanted to become stronger. There are a few character references to ZENONIA 2 characters but you will not lose anything much if you haven’t played it yet.

It is a sequel to ZENONIA 2 obviously (check out Craving Tech’s ZENONIA 2 review) but do not be worry because you do not have to play ZENONIA 2 to fully enjoy this game. ZENONIA 3 is an action RPG game for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad developed by GAMEVIL.
