Gameplay

The main character, Regret, is controlled through use of an on-screen d-pad, which is located in the lower left corner of the screen. There are many side quests that the player can choose to complete in order to further explore the world. The main storyline can be changed by the player depending on whether they decide to make certain choices that will cause their character's alignment to shift more quickly towards good or evil. There are three classes in which the player can choose from: Paladin, Warrior, or Assassin, each having a unique fighting style.

The game also features hundreds of different weapons, and a full class skill tree for each of the classes. Gamevil claims that Zenonia has 40 hours of gameplay.

Story

Zenonia's protagonist is Regret, a young man whose origins are initially unknown. His primary mission in the game is to find the reason for the death of his adoptive father, Pardon, at the hands of a demon and subsequently a more powerful evil that is at work.

Development

Zenonia was developed and published by Gamevil. It is a port of a mobile game from South Korea. Much of the time spent porting the game to iPhone was spent on translation.

Version 1.1 was released on June 29, 2009. The update improved the touch controls as well as making certain on-screen buttons larger and semi-transparent, making them easier to press accurately without restricting the view of the in-game action. Also, the need to eat and repair weapons and armor has been decreased in order to improve the overall playability of the game by lowering the frequency with which the player must return to towns. Features of Apple's iOS 3.0, which was released on June 17, 2009, were implemented into the game as well, allowing the user to listen to MP3s in lieu of the in-game soundtrack.

Reception

Zenonia has largely received positive reviews and has been compared graphically with earlier games in The Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy series. The game's script has been praised for being well-written and humorous. PC Magazine named the game as one of the "must-have" games for iPhone. Tracy Erickson of Pocket Gamer gave it a Silver Award, calling it "vintage role-playing at its zenith". Pocket Gamer also awarded it Best Adventure/RPG Game for iPhone in 2010.
