A good debut
Zenith takes in a world which mixes fantasy with sci-fi and is quite unique. After all, where else can you see Orcish mafia or huge floating mage's laboratory, where the mages tests a laser cannon? Or what about tenor singing spiders? The story is both good and funny(I will avoid spoilers). In addition to many references to various books, games and films, the game contains humour which reminds me of comedies with Leslie Nielsen. Though the idea at the end of Zenith's story is more serious(and truthful, if you ask me). Zenith’s soundtrack varies widely. Apart from fantasy music, you will hear some steampunk, metal and even a bit of western music as well. The music was made by Murray Atkinson, the guitarist of the Canadian band The Odds, There is no voice-over in Zenith. Instead, you will have to read all the dialogues yourself if you want to know what’s happening. The text boxes reminds of old Pokemon games, which I find nice, to be honest. Apart from the overworld map, the camera can not be rotated. In most cases, that is okay, since the camera repositions itself automatically whenever needed. However, there were certain situations where I think the camera could position itself better. Sometimes, I had problems to enter narrower places like doors or bridges. Zenith provides almost no options for graphics. The ones that it does provide come from the default Unity launcher, It also provides options to rebind keys. Unfortunately, Zenith doesn’t have any sound settings. The game crashed only once in my case, after saving 6 times in a row. Speaking of saving, you can only do that at certain places, just like in Titan Quest or Lichdom: Battlemage. Personally, I am not very fond of this solution. Combat can be imprecise at times, mainly when casting spells at a distance. Interactive object are highlighted only when you get close to them. Zenith could use some more polish, but for a debut, it is not a bad game. Not bad at all.
