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,

  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!
