## Description

From producer Yoshinori Terasawa and game designer Takayuki Sugawara, the creators of the Danganronpa series, comes a new type of survival game, Zanki Zero: Last Beginning. Explore ruins, dungeons, and islands in this post-apocalyptic world through the POV of eight protagonists fighting for survival while also searching for meaning in their never-ending cycles of life and death. God created the world in seven days. It only took one for humans to destroy it. Life as we knew it sank to the depths of the sea...until yesterday. We do not yet know this broken world or the reasons for its downfall left behind here. An earth where ruins drift about, with remnants of buildings, cars, traffic lights... Modern civilization was destroyed, becoming nothing more than debris wading in the sea. New ruins drift one after the other before our very eyes, the survivors who live on one of those decaying islands.

Review: Equal parts Survival, Dungeon Crawler, RPG, Anime - I'll start by saying this game is wonderful, it has far exceeded my expectations, I've written a few reviews, which is something I usually only do when I have a very positive experience. I received this game yesterday and figured I'd play about an hour then get some stuff done around the house, *nine hours later* I went to bed thinking about this world, it's characters and systems. In the small amount of time I've logged in this game, it's easily within my top 10 games ever, maybe even top 5. Story: The story is great, I hate spoilers so I'll just give you all a vague idea of the goings on, its crazy stuff that often focuses in on the eight protagonists lives while they seek answers in an insane world. Its well told and so far in my little time I've already been surprised a few times, it is rather mature so be prepared for some adult conversations and humor. Graphic: This game has a very interesting design aesthetic, it often has hub elements that are reminiscent of arcade games, with a lush world and detailed environments. The character design is pretty much what you would expect from this developer, similar to Danganronpa or Zero escape games. Sound: The BGM is solid and often tows the line between creepy and quiet with ambient nature sounds thrown in, the VO is top notch and in English, but for the the folks that enjoy Japanese VO that too is an option. Combat sounds are crunchy and satisfying especially when you break off parts of your enemies. Game-play: There is a lot of content to cover but I'll try to keep it concise, this game is a 1st person RPG dungeon crawler, with survival elements. Very similar to a game called Legend of Grimrock in its movement and play-style. You form a party of 4 out of your eight pro-tags and explore on a grid of squares. You fight enemies in real-time by approaching and attacking with basic, charge or combo attacks, there is no magic but that is the only realistic thing about this game, it is important to learn an enemies attack pattern as the game can be a reasonable challenge on the recommended difficulty (you can adjust the difficulty in game but higher risk comes with better rewards). There are a handful of survival elements in place, such as hunting, crafting, base building, scavenging, managing stress and eating to maintain proper stamina, you also have to remember to use the bathroom. Managing these systems never seem too intrusive and feel more like a clever balancing act than a nuisance. There are many other systems in place that make the feedback loop satisfying in every way. Bottom line if you were interested in this game even a little bit, its much better and more addictive than I can explain. It would take a lot of time and patience to get to everything, but you don't have to take my word for it. *Update: There are complaints about censorship, which I also don’t support, but understand the narrative before you judge the entire game on that, Spike Chunsoft did not want to censor this game after-all they distribute the uncensored Japanese version, but parts of the game were censored in order for a smooth western release, and what was censored were a few scenes that depict sexual situations with child characters, which honestly does not ruin the game for me, but don’t have misplaced anger with developers or publishers, they really just do what they can to release their art to as many folks as they can
Review: Better Than Expected - Zanki Zero: Last Beginning is a first person dungeon crawler, which are not my cup of tea, but I decided to give it a chance anyways. Immediately, the world design, lighting, and sound effects caught my attention. I absolutely loved the aesthetic and ambiance that the developers created, and it really does give you that -"we are all that's left in the world" vibe. The characters are great with their unique personalities and enjoyable dialogue. They design is also great, and I had no problem with "censorship". The story is extremely interesting as you fill the shoes of a different survivors each chapter an learn more about their life prior to waking up on the island. There is mystery, horror, and comedy in this story. Exploring the world is cool, but the combat is kind of weak and I would have preferred a time based set up. Overall, this is a fun game and I would recommend to those who enjoy narrative, and beautiful visuals.

## Features

- Play from the POV of one of eight protagonists in each chapter and explore the dungeons, towers, and islands to uncover the deadly sins of the protagonists' pasts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dark, Impactful Story with Addictive Gameplay
*by C***N on April 12, 2019*

If you're a fan of dark visual novels like Danganronpa, 999, and Chaos;Child, you'll probably love Zanki Zero. It takes great characters and an intriguing, mysterious story and combines it with gameplay that breaks up the novel segments and keeps you hooked (and it feeds into the themes of the story, which is awesome too). There's a lot going on in Zanki Zero and each part feeds into other aspects of the game; the complete package feels even better than the sum of its parts. Don't sleep on this one! (Also, don't worry about any censorship stuff. People are getting angry over basically nothing. They only removed like two scenes of underage characters in their underwear. The story is still plenty messed up and disturbing at parts, and it certainly didn't feel like anything was missing while I was playing it.)
