Gameplay edit
Like the earlier games in the Zenonia series, this game features real time combat and exploration. The main character, Chael, is controlled through use of an on-screen d-pad.[3] There are side quests that the player can choose to complete in order to further explore the world. Chael can choose one of four available classes. The Sword Knight and Shadow Hunter are both melee-type characters. The Mechanic Launcher and Nature Shaman use ranged weapons in combat.
Execution Room edit
New to the Zenonia series, the Execution Room is a Colosseum-style tournament against in-game monsters. The user can choose to battle the monsters alone or use their device to control their friend's character and face the challenge with a non-player character (NPC) by their side. This is called Asynchronous co-op gameplay. The Execution Room is available to the user after reaching the town of Delfoy.
Synopsis edit
Chael, the adopted son of the first Zenonia game's protagonist Regret, tries to find his way home after being transported against his will into another dimension, called Midgard, or the middle realm. On his quest, he is accompanied by a girl from the Divine Tribe named Celine and a sarcastic fairy named Runa.
