Zoria is a very good game, but you might need some time to appreciate it. Starting from combat, which is turn-based, there are all kinds of features: action points, skill cooldowns, mana consuming and a fatigue mechanism. And on top of that, each character has a second mana-like resource, called focus, which is consumed not only by most combat actions, but also during resting (!) and real-time adventuring and is only restored by some specific combat actions. Sounds complicated? Indeed, might feel strange at the beginning, but after some battles this unique combat style becomes a very captivating and satisfying challenge. Another thing that takes time to realize is the vast potential of the crafting system, which is one of the best I ‘ve ever seen in games. You can combine a huge number of different materials in every possible way, producing unique and powerful equipment. Talking about equipment, another amazing thing in Zoria is that there are literally hundreds of different types of equipment, each of them with its own statistics and appearance (just three people made all these?...). Items have complex statistics, however item comparisons are provided together with item descriptions, making things clearer. There is a lot of loot around and all these factors make inventory management and equipping characters a demanding job. Castle management also comes later in the game; you have to wait for it too. And with it, dozens of candidates for recruitment start pouring in. (all but three though are just generic characters). Zoria has a very interesting story with notably nice writing, tons of lore (again, just three people made all these?...) and a major twist towards the end. There is a good number of side quests also. Last but not least, character development. Zoria’s character development is much similar to games like Wartales and Battle Brothers. At level-up the player can increase some numerical values and at some levels learn a skill. Skills provide combat actions like special attacks, spells, buffs, even stunning opponents. There are 10 classes and each class has 17 unique skills to choose from. Actually, character development is the only area I would wish for more. I think character development is a core characteristic of RPGs and, even though it would be too much to ask for some gargantuan system like Pathfindrer:WotR, some more depth and options would be welcomed. On the other hand, it could be said that 170 skills in total isn’t a small number. Overall, Zoria is a very good game, recommended especially for people who like turn-based tactical story-driven open-world isometric fantasy RPGs, with much exploration and side quests and also things like advanced crafting, castle management and a wealth of equipment. A nice, well written story too. It could also be appealing to people who like strategy/RPG hybrids like Wartales or King Arthur: A knight’s tale. So, Zoria is one yet addition to the list of fine but overlooked RPGs which deserve some more attention.
It's a decent game of this style. However there are things that do bother me about it. Collision in this game is a pain. I literally got pushed across the combat map by a dear running through and pulled me out of attacking range. Another I got pushed up against a wall by a quarry worker while in looking at something and got stuck there until he moved. I hadn't saved in a moment and didn't want to lose progress. It's the standard RPG turn based combat style game. It does focus more on combat over NPCs so there's less development there.
I'm enjoying this game and recommend it, but with reservations that might apply to you. First, the game doesn't seem well-balanced. I'm no hardcore player, I like my thrills gentle, but I'm breezing through fights even on the "Hard" setting. There's been no challenge, even in the supposed boss fights. Maybe I somehow blind-pigged my way into a Game-Breaking Uber Party but I think that's unlikely. I've jacked it up to the "Unfair" setting and that's helped the challenge some. Second, there are no resource constraints beyond the first hour or three. At Level 20ish I now have far more gold, supplies, and other necessities than I need, and it's easy to pile on more. There's no challenge here either. Making me sweat over whether I have enough gold to spread around to all the various things needing gold to advance would improve gameplay greatly. Same with the supplies needed for resting and upgrading facilities. Again, I think the problem is not the gameplay itself--which is fun and well done--but balance. Things need to be tightened up a lot to present a challenge. Having said that, I'm enjoying the game as a sort of casual time waster.
What a charming little game! OK, so it's not BG3, but: - it's a tiny fraction of the price; - You don't have to spend a at least half your time talking to your followers about their problems, then spending yet more time solving their problems. Always assuming they don't flounce off in a huff because you offended them with an insensitive comment. It's a Kill, Loot & Level game, which is all I want as a casual gamer. I already have a life, thanks. A previous reviewer complained about the large amount of fairly random drops. They seem to have rather missed the point. If you want good kit, use the crafting system. So unlike (say) WoW, you don't have to spend 9 hours on a raid hoping that 'uber' item will drop. You can just craft far better items than the random drops. Also, inventory management is simple. Everything goes into a big (bottomless?) bag, and all characters have access to it. So again, little or no time wasted passing stuff around between followers or finding a merchant to sell to every 30 mins because your backpack is full. Obviously not perfect from such a small dev. team, but damn good value overall. -
It's really really good. one of the best designed crpgs I've played. Its all one big map, like it should be, and not 10000 different skyboxes you have to load into each one as new area, no, Story and side quest stories are great, along with good unbroken guidence. music is really good. etc etc I could go on. Con: It is turn-based, but they did it in such a way that it is actually pretty fluid and works decently well. So more of a neutral than a Con.
