About Clash: Artifacts of Chaos - Zeno Edition

ZENO EDITION

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos - Zeno Edition


About the Game

You play as Pseudo, a master of martial arts who lives as a recluse in the strange land of Zenozoik. When you cross paths with the Boy, a small creature whose mysterious powers have attracted the attention of Gemini, the Mistress of the Artifacts, you decide to protect him, unaware that much greater forces are involved.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos - Zeno Edition


  • EXPLORE ZENOZOIK

Drawing upon both surreal and punk fantasy influences, the world and civilisations of Zenozoik are brimming with fascinating characters, creatures and landscapes. Roam this intriguing land and discover its paths, inhabitants and ancient secrets.

  • CRUSH YOUR OPPONENTS

Your fists and speed are your greatest weapons. Attack, dodge, stun, block, counter a parry to land a special attack, switch to first-person view to perform unique techniques: each time, it's up to you to seize the occasion to achieve victory and avoid mistakes that could quickly prove fatal.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos - Zeno Edition


  • CUSTOMISE YOUR COMBAT STYLE

Learn various martial arts during your adventure and alternate freely between them based on the situation, types of enemies and your preference. Victories will enable you to improve your characteristics and upgrade your attacks, so you can develop your own unique style.

  • RISE TO THE CHALLENGE OF THE RITUAL

Before fighting, you can challenge your opponent to a game of dice, with the winner defining the rules of the encounter – often to their advantage. Summoning a monster as an ally, covering the area in fog, having shackles limit movement… far from determining the outcome of the combat, the Ritual represents an opportunity to exploit if you win it or a challenge to cleverly overcome if you lose.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos - Zeno Edition


  • A RICH STORYLINE

Your search for the Great Artifacts that will help you defeat Gemini will take you farther than you ever imagined. While taking on the mercenaries pursuing you and developing your friendship with the Boy, you must confront your past and delve into the sources of the chaotic society of Zenozoik.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos takes place in the same universe as Zeno Clash and Zeno Clash II, but the game is entirely independent.

Story

Show

The story takes place in Zenozoik, a strange and savage fantasy world of bizarre creatures and ancient rituals. At its center is Pseudo, a solitary and formidable martial artist who prefers to keep to himself, living by his own code in the wilds. His quiet existence is upended when he crosses paths with the Boy, a small and defenseless creature possessing rare and coveted healing powers. Those same powers make the Boy a target, for the ruthless tyrant Gemini and her band of henchmen are determined to seize him for themselves. Taking the vulnerable creature under his protection, Pseudo becomes his reluctant bodyguard, and the unlikely pair set off across the untamed reaches of Zenozoik, staying one step ahead of their pursuers as danger closes in from every side.
