Phantasy Star 0

released on Dec 25, 2008

Phantasy Star Zero takes place on an alternate Earth 200 years after the Great Blank, a massive war that has reduced the once-prosperous civilization to almost nothing. The sole surviving Humans have worked hard to exist peacefully and have built thriving Cities. The Humans that adventure past the outskirts of these Cities, called Hunters, explore the vast wilderness and hunt dangerous monsters to keep Cities safe. Players will take up the role of Hunters and select from three types of races and different classes, as well as gender for a total of 14 customizable character types. Each character type will play very differently and give players access to a great range of items, armor and weapons. Featuring over 350 unique weapons, gamers will venture out on Earth, combat dangerous monsters to gain experience and meet new major characters. As players explore further, they will unravel the mystery of the Great Blank and discover a dangerous new force that must be stopped.

Really interesting. They are taking a big concept and cramming into a smaller handheld form. It is good for what it is, but the controls don't age well. It's fun how your character choice decides what storyline you follow.

Gameplay and UI was good, but the controls aged badly.

Combat was better than Universe's, alongside the character design.

An okay translation of PSO to handhelds, albeit with some bizarre QoL downgrades and a tedious "Saturday morning" tone/story that really clashes with the series' iconography. Was probably fun online, never tried. You get used to the D-pad, but it's rough.

I don’t know how many hours i put into this game. It’s so fun online.

reminiscent of the good ol days but the formula doesnt hold up as well. The story is bad and annoying because its unskippable and breaks the pacing of the game. reuse of areas and enemies turn the game into a slog. combat is clunky and slow. Most bosses have strange hitboxes, like the kraken boss being bizarre trying to hit his tentacles. Its kinda like a "turn your brain off and hit buttons" game, but it gets more brain numbing than your standard run though one of those games.
