COMIX ZERO IS A TRIBUTE TO CLASSICS LIKE UNBOUND SAGA AND CASTLEVANIA.Â
Waking up in a fantasy world was a blast⊠Up until you found out itâs run by slavers as pleasant as butt cactus. Youâre Zero, a slacker from Earth with a knack for bad jokes, questionable hygiene, and (somehow) saving the world. Your plan is simple: kill the baddies, get the girl(s), head back home. At least, it was simple⊠until you became immortal.Â
Hereâs the catch with immortality: every time you die, Zero loses a piece of his memory. Soon, it wonât just be your keys youâre misplacing. Can you survive long enough to find the way home before it fades away?
WORLDâS FIRST COMIXVANIA
Welcome to Comix Zero, the first-ever âCOMIXVANIAâ â a unique twist on the beat âem up/metroidvania/roguelike genre where you will be exploring pages of a comic book brought to life.
In Comix Zero, the world unfolds like a graphic novel, each screen laid out as a multi-page spread. Every panel represents a new area, scene, or dialogue. Youâll jump between panels, smash through borders, and search for secrets hidden in the margins.
This is a comic book world in the literal sense, too. Each hit drains you of color until youâre nothing but a sketch. Here, ink is the difference between life and death.
A unique mix of genres: beat âem up/metroidvania/roguelike based on comics which we call âCOMIXVANIAâ
Just one thing: donât expect it to be easy. Youâll need grit (and maybe a map) to make it through.
FROM ZERO TO HERO
Comix Zero is designed as an RPG, allowing you to tailor Zeroâs abilities and equipment to match your playstyle. Drink consumables from the precious bodily fluids of defeated bosses (gross). Craft powerful items and new weapons (not gross). Talk to NPCs to get quests and rewards (it varies).Â
FIGHT, DIE, REPEAT
New gear helps, but itâs your skill that counts. Comix Zeroâs combat takes its cue from games like beat âem up, rewarding precision over button-mashing. Youâll probably try to button-mash your way out of it anyway, so get ready to die. What were you trying to prove anyway?
DONâT YOU FORGET ABOUT ME
The narrative of Comix Zero is intertwined with gameplay. Each time you die, Zero loses a piece of his memory, slowly forgetting parts of his life. As memories slip away, characters start responding to Zero differently, leading to unexpected twists and altering the gameâs ending.
A BRUTAL WORLD MEETS ITS SAVIOR
In Comix Zero, ancient myths collide with humanityâs penchant for war crimes. Each faction has its own motivations and alliances, and youâre caught right in the middle. This is a place where spells are created from human blood painted on human skin (detached from a human). Itâs not exactly a vacation spot.
A HERO WHO CANâT TAKE ANYTHING SERIOUSLYÂ
Comix Zeroâs narrative is filled with nuanced characters, political intrigue, morally gray choices, and real trauma. And then you had to go and make an absolute joke out of it. Are you proud of yourself?
YOU UNDERSTOOD THIS REFERENCE
The villain who pulled our hero into the world of Comix Zero is obsessed with Earth's mythology and pop culture. Keep an eye out for nods to everything from Greek gods to movie quotes and anime characters scattered throughout the game. Who knew gods had such sticky fingers?
