Zenonia

Zenonia, a classic action RPG from Gamevil, is the first iPhone game I have played that caused me to forgot I was playing on an iPhone, rather than a GBA or DS. It contains amazing depth and polish many other games in the App Store lack. It is simply the best RPG on the iPhone.

The game has a outstanding plot. You start as a child whose father recently died from a demon. Your father was a member of the Holy Nights, which are in conflict with the Dragon Clan. I don't want to give away any more of the plot, but trust me, it is great.

The gameplay starts out easy, but very quickly becomes difficult. The game uses a virtual D-Pad. You can choose to start your game as either a paladin, a warrior, or a assassin. You then can gain experience points and buy new items to become stronger. Throughout the game, you have a main quest which follows the storyline. You also can do subquests to gain more experience and money. Fighting monsters also adds to your experience and money. As you progress through the game, you will have choices that will change the storyline. You can either be good or evil.

The game features many different items to get, including potions, weapons, armor, scrolls, and others. There are five different item classes.

The text in the game is often amusing. I sometimes chuckle at some of the jokes that the other characters say. However, the game does have some translation problems.

Zenonia has lots of elements never before seen on the iPhone. Even newcomers to this genre of game might like it. Zenonia is fun to play and with 40 hours of gameplay, you can't go wrong. It is an amazing game.
