GAMEVIL’s still got a good handle on one of the top action RPGs in the App Store, and it doesn’t look like they’re going to give that up any time soon. Ignoring the bizarre internet quirks and slightly disappointing fifth consecutive series of minor missteps, Zenonia 5 easily does the series proud. CRITs means tons of knockback, so you can usually prevent getting hit while staggering the enemy in a 1v1 situation. Your normal attack shoots in front of you, and while the range isn't amazing, the vertical range (if you’re shooting left or right) is very good. I’m hoping it’s something that gets ironed out soon because it’s a fairly significant drag. The Mechanic of Zenonia 5 is a gunslinger class with a high rate of CRIT. I’d chalk it up to simply requiring a connection to play but if the game is already loaded before the signal is lost or airplane more is activated it still works just fine.

The biggest problem for me, however, and one that will undoubtedly plague other subterranean commuters like me, is that Zenonia 5 refuses to load when there’s no 3G/WiFi signal. There’s also a rather unfortunate reliance on Zen (special IAP money) when it comes to buying more inventory space, upgrading equipment and the like.

Multiple customizable character classes (and character appearances!), daily challenges in the Abyss to try and earn rare loot, crafting, mining, fairy training, PvP, and so on. As is also the case with the series, this new entry is bursting at the seams with content. The story doesn’t buck any trends (hero “dreams” the future, meets his destiny, etc), but it does manage to avoid a number of the more prevalent overused RPG tropes.Īnyone who’s played any previous Zenonia titles should feel right at home with Zenonia 5. Official Minions and Despicable Me endless runner game. Stickman Tennis is a fast paced realistic tennis game on spectacular courts. Each performs pretty much as expected and features a number of personal active abilities that range from giant sword swings to massive lasers. ZENONIA® 4: Return of the Legend, Extreme Action RPG. The protagonist in this instance can be one of four classes - the Berserker (big sword), Paladin (club, shield, healing magic), Mechanic (firearms), and Wizard (BURN ALL THE THINGS). Much like its predecessors, Zenonia 5 involves one of a handful of a young heroes, an amnesiac fairy, lovely visuals, plenty of action, and a features list that would probably require an intermission if read aloud. For the most part, it is, although it’s still not perfect. And with four previous games worth of experience to draw from it would stand to reason that Zenonia 5 is the ultimate culmination of the formula to date. With just shy of a half-dozen titles spread out over all manner of iOS devices, I think it’s safe to say that the Zenonia series is something of a commercial success.
