It's time for yet more Zeno Clash, a game that I've been covering regularly for about a year. Powered by Source, this freaky PC game has a heavy focus on first-person melee combat, and it appears to be performing this pretty decently. 

The graphics are certainly nothing to write home about, but the design and the overall weirdness continues to win me over. Can't wait to try it out.

Also, no idea why the footage ends so abruptly. I guess that's all part of the WEIRDNESSSSSSSS!

[Update: Developer Ace Team has very kindly sent us a new, unspoiled video, along with superior images that come packed with character information. Be sure to check out the new stuff!]

This looks absolutely awesome. I have never seen anything so frighteningly creepy.

interesting.... This reminds me of a dark messiah with a much more refined combat engine. I just hope they make it possible to fight multiple enemies at a time.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm super stoked about this game! I think the visual style is refreshing and original... something the video game community needs to embrace.

Yeah, looks amazing. Like VashTS said, reminds of a polished DMOMM.

Looks interesting. Melee combat makes me want a port/successor to The Specialists in Source.

I think you got a corrupted video, I just saw this on the Zeno Clash site and it lasts about 30 seconds more. Im sure you can get in contact with the devs for the full video, they all are very accesible in their forum...

Actually, I do know the developers, they send me stuff frequently. In fact, they've sent me a brand new video file already, along with improved pictures. I'll be updating the post as soon as I can. <3

Careful, guys. This is entering Mirror's Edge territory. "Nothing else like it out there." "The visual style is refreshing... Something the video game community needs to embrace." Are we just setting ourselves up for another awkwardly-designed game? I'll take this one with a grain of salt.

Changed the gallery with much nicer pictures. They come with some character bios and I strongly recommend you read them. At least the one regarding Father Mother. Such a messed up game.

Fixed trailer is being uploaded now.

I love the art direction in this game. Hopefully gameplay meets those standards also.

Try looking at the Father Mother screen while listening to Tool's Useful Idiot.
