A Bleak Uncertain Future
Zenless Zone Zero is a fast-paced, action-packed RPG developed and published by miHoYo of Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact fame. It thrusts players into a bleak future where humanity is on the brink of destruction. The game is set in the sprawling metropolis of New Eridu, the last beacon of hope for human civilization. Hollows, dangerous rifts inhabited by deadly and hostile Ethereal, threaten to bring the city down. Players will defend humanity while immersing themselves in a unique urban fantasy setting.
Cunning Hares, Anby and Nicole, craft a plot to save the city. To achieve this objective, they assembled a team of proxy agencies to navigate the Hollows and conquer the deadly Ethereal. They recruit Belle, Wise, Victoria Housekeeping and Gentle House.
Belle is a young, vibrant girl who has deep knowledge of the Hollows and the city. She provides important information, mission briefings, and guidance throughout your journey. Moreover, she will help you to navigate the complexities of the Hollows and be successful in your combat missions.
Wise possesses exceptional technological skills in combat and is well-versed with the Hollows and the city. She helps you to gather data, explore new technologies and deal with threats in a more analytical and precise manner.
Victoria Housekeeping is a proxy that helps you to eliminate threats caused by the Ethereal and secure zones. In their rank is Lycoon who brings exceptional combat abilities to the game, adding fresh impetus to the battle.
Gentle House helps you focus on survivors, providing care, shelter and aid to anyone affected by the events in the game. They engage players in rescue operations, protecting vulnerable groups and defending settlements from Ethereal attacks.
What I liked
Zenless Zone Zero anime-inspired aesthetics are beautiful. The game’s visual design does a great job highlighting its action combat. Hits and energy blasts are reproduced in eye-catching, vibrant colors and smooth animations, making the unfolding action series interesting to watch. The soundtrack is a refreshing blend of rock, electronic, and orchestral beats. The accompanying music perfectly matches the game’s urban plot.
