Each area of specialty utilizes different spells and weapons and has its own leveling structure.īut RamenVR doesn't want players just picking one specialty and sticking with it for the entirety of their playtime in Zenith. Choose DPS to deal tons of damage, Tank to take all the damage for your team, or Support to keep everyone going for the long haul. Once you've chosen your main class, you can choose a specialty to focus on. Players can switch between specialties once every 60 seconds, meaning you can fully specialize your role for each and every battle you come across. Choose wisely, because this class type cannot be changed once you've selected it.Ī third mystery class is currently under development. Choose a Blademaster for primarily melee-based combat, or an Essence Mage to keep things at a distance with ranged weapons and spells. Players choose from two main combat class types from the start. In the few days I had with the game, I tried out all six classes on offer to get a taste of what to expect from each. RamenVR says the game features several different calibers of quests, including story-driven quests, procedurally-generated areas that provide unique loot and adventures each time you complete them, and world events that often include fighting waves of enemies. NPCs will task you with quests to kill a certain number of enemies - usually strung together by a small tidbit of story about crops being ravaged or peaceful areas being overtaken - while other quests might focus on fetching ingredients in order to craft new items. Quests, so far in my experience, are the usual MMO fare. Players will begin their journey on the streets of the undercity, quickly moving up and out of the confines of the concrete jungle and into a more lush overworld. Zenith's visual style is very much a fascinating mix of sci-fi and fantasy worlds, pitting minotaur-like enemies against laser blasters, floating islands, and plenty of arcane magic to cast.Īs the name implies, the large cityscape is the main hub of Zenith's world. RamenVR says an estimated 100 hours or so of gameplay can be experienced with the launch content. At launch, the game is made up of five main areas that players can progress through. Zenith's visual style is very much a fascinating mix of sci-fi and fantasy worlds, pitting minotaur-like enemies against laser blasters, floating islands, and plenty of arcane magic to cast. Even the floating bits of your armor in the game at least have a passing resemblance to the MAGS from PSO - something that made me smile more than once.
From the music to the visuals, it's hard to feel like the game wasn't inspired by folks who grew up playing PSO on the Dreamcast. Veterans of Phantasy Star Online will immediately feel at home the moment they boot up Zenith: The Last City. Source: RamenVR (Image credit: Source: RamenVR)
