Have y'all always imagined a cross betwixt Quake as well as Pokémon? I stake not. And y'all belike too never heard of ZanZarah, an recondite High German game almost a teenage daughter visiting a state of fairies. What these things take inwards common? Well, everything.
In ZanZarah y'all play every bit Amy, who goes from London to a magical state of fairies, elves as well as wonder. This enchanted Earth is threatened past an ancient evil, your arrival was foretold past a prophecy as well as all that. Your call for hither is to explore the land, assist the locals as well as heighten a potent political company of fairies to salve the world. To recruit novel magical creatures, y'all must showtime weaken ane inwards fight as well as and so capture it amongst a particular ball. Sounds really familiar, no?
And it doesn’t cease there. ZanZarah offers over seventy magical creatures – including animals, dragons as well as demons – spread into 12 types: Fire, Water, Nature, Air, Stone, Ice, Chaos, Energy, Psi, Metal, Dark as well as Light.
Their attacks take the classic effective/noneffective relationships, as well as inwards truthful Pokémon mode y'all too go to take your initial fairy betwixt iii types. They fifty-fifty evolve afterwards reaching a sure level.
But here’s the large twist: dissimilar Pokémon, y'all won’t battle inwards turn-based combat, but rather inwards FPS arenas amongst elaborate layouts, firing magic blasts at enemies piece strafing, dodging as well as flying!
There are no guns, but each fairy tin equip upwards to 4 different spells – ii offensive as well as ii passive. The game features 120 spells amongst a broad reach of effects, damage, burn down charge per unit as well as mana pool. Spells must live charged earlier firing – some let for quick bursts, others are really irksome – but accuse too much as well as it volition backfire. All of this keeps battles interesting, every bit you’ll take to figure out the best loadout to role depending on the arena layout or the enemy type y'all face.
To crown everything, the soundtrack is excellent. Composed past King Einstein, the battle music is exciting, the exploration music is charming as well as the primary topic is a pretty tune sang past Karina Gretere.
The alone existent downside - as well as this volition live a bargain breaker for some - is that fifty-fifty this novel 2015 Steam re-release doesn't operate good on modernistic computers. You'll occasionally go some visual glithces as well as graphic artifacts, but the worst role is that the game drops to similar 5fps when y'all opened upwards a menu, no affair how powerful your PC is.
If y'all tin bargain amongst this, turn over ZanZarah a try. If not, don't fifty-fifty bother.
