First-person melee games may not be for everyone, but Atlus is pushing forward with Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition.
The enhanced version of one of Zeno Clash is coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft on March 30, 2010. The “New Attacks” video highlights the lengths to which developer ACE Team has gone to build and improve upon their award-winning game, showing off an assortment of new combat moves.
“Initially, ACE Team had offered to demonstrate the new moves in Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition in person for the Atlus staff,” chuckled a grimacing Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations and Sales for Atlus. “We all thought they were kidding when they talked about cool-sounding moves like the ‘headbutt’ and ’spin kick.’ After a week in the hospital, I’m happy to say that fans can expect to find those and equally punishing new attacks in Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition, and that the moves deliver the same satisfyingly visceral feel as all the other injury-inducing first-person melee combat Zeno Clash has to offer. In other good news, the doctor says the swelling on my head will go away in about a month or so.”
About Zeno Clash
In the land of Zenozoik, the city of Halstedom is ruled by a powerful clan, one which Ghat has betrayed by committing a terrible sin. Now, Ghat’s brothers and sisters are pursuing him and his companion Deadra through strange and twisted lands, beyond the boundaries of the sane to the ends of the world. What was Ghat’s crime and why did he commit it? The bare-knuckled brawl to reach the truth has just begun.
