Gameplay Difficulty
First of all, depending on the class and build that you play. The game can be either really difficult or boring. You have the usual damage classes which are the wizard and gunner. You have the melee damage berserker or paladin. However, regardless of the class or build that you play, some of the bosses have the ability to kill you in 1 or 2 hits.
This makes the game difficult that without the proper use of skills and timing, you will find yourself unable to pass the bosses. (Although you can always pay money for reviving but we think that is a waste of resources). And because the difficulty of the mobs and bosses, you will find yourself constantly grinding for that extra levels to obtain better stats and gears.
Verdict: Difficult
The Annoyance of IAP
Our number 1 complain is the lack of inventory spaces that require ZEN (IAP) to unlock. Without unlocking the item slots, you will find yourself constantly loaded with items. To make your life in Zenonia 5 convenient, you will have to take out your wallet and spend some money to unlock the basic equipment bag slots. During our play we have unlocked both the equipment and accessories slots to make game play faster and easier.
Now to have a competitive edge in the PvP and dungeon crawling abyss dungeon. You will need to spend some more money tobehighly competitive. The best place to spend your real money are the skill points, the additional skill points can really make a difference in the power of your characters. However, to fully enjoy and pass the game, you do not need to spend real money to pass the bosses. Nevertheless, the additional skill points will make your progress significantly easier.
Game Appearances and Control
Compared to the other action rpg’s currently on the market. Zenonia 5 is the most vibrant, colorful, and fluid game of its kind. The graphic is amazing and the music notes are quite detailed. You can move your characters quite easily, although we do experience minor movement locks at times which causes instant death in boss situations. We still give huge credits to the games overall appearance and design.
Replayability
Because of the PvP and hell mode after the normal, this makes the game pretty replayable. There is no ending to make your character even stronger. Even at the current level cap of the game at 109, there are still plenty of rooms to grind for your gears. However, that is all that’s left after the normal bosses, you grind your gears and aim for that top PvP slots. For players that enjoy mindlessly kill monsters over and over, this game is perfect for you. Ps. I do not mean it sarcastically, I do mean that the simple act of killing monsters to make yourself hero stronger is quite enjoyable in many cases.
Final Verdict
If you are in the market or time for a new action game, give Zenonia 5 a try at a cost of free. However, the lack of inventory spaces is a serious annoyance and you should pay some money to unlock those bag spaces. Other than that, this is a really well made game well worth of its money. Give it a try!
