What kind of game is this? Zenith – The Last City is an MMORPG that completely relies on virtual reality. Without a VR headset, Zenith cannot be played (yet). Through your VR headset, you look at the game world from a first-person perspective.
Zenith takes place in a futuristic world plagued by monsters. Here, a sci-fi setting meets a high-fantasy story. The visual style is quite colorful and resembles a blend of Overwatch and an anime MMO.
What content does it offer? Besides standard features like guilds, crafting, and dungeons, Zenith offers you a few special features:
- 2 classes: Blade Master and Mage
- Classes are not role-bound – you can, for example, play as a tank as a mage
- Exploration of the map: Climb buildings and find hidden treasures
- You can fly, or glide through the air
- There is an in-game voice chat
For the future, the developers promised further features, such as housing, life skills, more classes, and more options for individual character customization.
What do the reviews on Steam say? 81 % of users on Steam rate the game positively. The community and the innovation of a VR MMORPG are particularly praised. At the same time, many players refer to Zenith as “a work in progress” because it often suffers from bugs and server issues.
It is still in early access.
How many players does it have on Steam? At the peak in 24 hours, there were 152 players online. At release, the game was so popular that over 4,000 players tried to log in simultaneously, which is a remarkably high number for an VR MMO, which is why the development team received a lot of funding for the further development of Zenith.
Who is this game for? Zenith is suitable for MMORPG fans who own a VR headset and want to experience a classic MMO from a different perspective.
