On Wednesday, Atlus announced Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition, arriving to XBox LIVE Arcade Spring 2010. This game is fantasy-based action adventure game. It plays as a first-person melee but also uses rather unique long-range weapons.

About Zeno Clash
In the land of Zenozoik, the city of Halstedom is ruled by a powerful clan, one which Ghat has betrayed by committing a terrible sin. Now, Ghat’s brothers and sisters are pursuing him and his companion Deadra through strange and twisted lands, beyond the boundaries of the sane to the ends of the world. What was Ghat’s crime and why did he commit it? The bare-knuckled brawl to reach the truth has just begun.

Key Features

• Fascinating world of grotesque beauty–Equal parts breathtakingly beautiful and utterly disturbing, prepare to be swallowed up in a surreal fantasy world powered by the Source engine. Explore lush environments and confront bizarre animal-humanoid foes on your mission of discovery and redemption.
• Visceral first person fighting–Combat is up close, personal, and entirely satisfying. Start with a series of punches, kicks, and grabs, follow up with a knee to the enemy’s face, and hit him with a finishing move to send him flying yards away. Learn new moves to mix it up. Guns and melee weapons offer additional power and tactical options.
• Ultimate edition additions–The already highly praised gameplay has received an overhaul that includes combat rebalancing, interface enhancements, improved animations, new modes, and new gameplay content.
• New cooperative play modes–Enlist a friend to take on enemy waves in Tower Challenge, a special survival mode that offers additional replayability beyond the single-player campaign. Play cooperatively online, or locally via split screen. With leaderboards to rank you against your friends, the challenge never ends!

Atlus has released a Droplitz gameplay video that follows Project Lead Sam Mullen* as he goes through the game offering tips and tricks to help you Droplitz fans get through the game as well as get the highest score.

Note: You Atlus fans keeping up with the names? I’m working on finding a feature that will better help Atlus fans keep in the know when it comes to the “who is who of Atlus”. These guys work their butts off and I like to give them recognition. So, for now, whenever you see an astrix by a name (Firefox users will also see a dotted underline) that means you can scroll over the name and get some more info on previous games they’ve been a part of.

Atlus USA has posted a video on their youtube channel for the upcoming June game Droplitz. It is a brief tutorial that explains how this simple, yet unique game is played.

This game will be available on the following systems: PC, XBLA, PSN, and iPhone.

My own personal thoughts include: I’m not a fan of arcade games, honestly. Haha, so my opinion on this is very biased. Still… pretty colors. Looks like something my mom would LOVE to play. Ok, no, I really have nothing to say about this whatsoever.

I actually have more to say about the narrator of that video, who made me laugh several times with her accent “dinky little balls of indeterminate STUFF.” No, no, she wins an award. I like her.
