The Independent Chile-based Developer to Bring Its Unique First Person
Fighting Game to PC's in Q1 2009
Santiago, Chile - November 19, 2008 - ACE Team, an independent video game
developer based in Santiago, Chile, announced today new details for its upcoming
game, Zeno Clash. The game, which will be available at retail and online via
Steam, Valve's digital distribution system in Q1 2009, is a PC-based
action/fighting game set in a punk fantasy world. The game uniquely blends the
first person genre with the fighting game genre with original visuals that make
full use of the Source Engine features while offering a refreshing deviation
from traditional fantasy games.
"We are excited to reveal new details about what our fans can expect when Zeno
Clash launches early next year," said Andres Bordeu, Founder and Lead Designer
at ACE Team. "Zeno Clash will offer a unique blend of first person and fighting
game genres with fantastically bizarre characters and unbelievable visuals
topped off with an incredibly compelling storyline."
The unprecedented art style of Zeno Clash brings a fresh new approach to the
first person genre with surreal environments and characters. Zeno Clash is
a story driven game with players assuming the role of Ghat; the son of an
extraordinary hermaphrodite creature called Father-Mother, whose children form
the most powerful clan in the city of Halstedom. Ghat must escape from his
family and go an incredible journey with his female companion Deadra, who will
aid him in the dangerous lands of Zenozoik. In the game, players will experience
an unusual arsenal of weapons built from scraps and junk. Some of the distinct
weapons include dual wielding guns, a musket, skull bombs and more.
The game's custom soundtrack offers a beautiful musical score that is as varied
as the game's settings. Zeno Clash will also feature Achievements to keep more
demanding players happy while extending the game's re-playabilty.
The game also includes engaging Melee Combat that is up close and personal,
allowing players to perform a variety of movements like deflect & elude combos,
knockback finisher punches and punishing grab attacks. Players can also
challenge a variety of unfriendly characters that will attack with their own
unique fighting techniques and tricks as new attacks are learned.
Zeno Clash will be available in Q1 2009. In addition to its availability via
Steam, ACE Team is currently in the process of securing a retail publishing
partner in the US and Europe.
