Z e n le s s Z o n e Z e r o is n’ t “ Z z z ”, b u t s o m e m e c ha n ic s n e e d a wa k e -u p c a ll | Im p r e s s io ns The latest title from Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse has style to spare, but it needs a little more substance at this early stage.

Developer HoYoverse shows no signs of slowing down after Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, with its next title, Zenless Zone Zero (humorously, ZZZ for short) making steady waves throughout its community. First announced in May 2022, November 2023 marked the game’s second closed beta test for PC and iOS. What is the game like, how it compares to the rest of the Hoyo slate of anime games, and how ‘gotcha’ is the gacha, are just some of the questions we geared ourselves to find out as we dove in.

Lifeof aProxy ZZZ is an action RPG with rogue-lite mechanics. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, you’ll begin your journey in New Eridu, the last urban civilization to survive the supernatural disaster known as the “Hollows”. These are distorted dimensions filled with “Ethereal” monsters and resources that humanity is now relying on for commercial purposes – of course. To get in and survive the Hollows, however, requires the help of Proxies, partners who guide people through their explorations.

In the game, you’ll play as either Wise or Belle, the sibling team behind “Phaethon”, a famous Proxy known for their high commission success rate. As part of the closed beta, you’ll mostly be supporting the Hollow expeditions of the Cunning Hares, a dispatch agency made up of Anby, Billy and Nicole.

TraversingandTacklingonTVScreens The gameplay of ZZZ is largely split into exploring the Hollows and action combat. The former takes place on the Hollow Visualisation TV Wall, which looks like a wall of TV screens where each screen represents one location. There’s a main objective riddled with puzzles, whether that involves moving objects around, picking up resources or saving fellow Hollow raiders. Your icon will move through these screens to complete the objective, occasionally picking up buffs, debuffs and sometimes falling into combat. This concept, while novel, can feel low effort at times. Rather than living these experiences out in actualised worlds, it’s more akin to playing a board game. After hearing so much about the Hollows, it’s a shame that you’ll just have to imagine the scenarios you’re going through via the blinking icons and Wise or Belle’s commentary. Combat mode features a three-person team with a “bangboo” in tow – a type of intelligent robot that can support you on the field. You’ll have each character’s basic and special attacks, plus a heavy attack when your energy has filled up. The value of having party members kicks into play when you initiate chain attacks, or call for assists, which invite other members of your party to step in and continue a combo. Dodging plays a small role, as a perfectly timed dodge triggers a slow-down effect on the enemy, allowing you to deal a heavy attack.

Hollows are an apocalyptic-level disaster, an abnormal spherical dimension that appears out of thin air swallowing everything they touch. The internal spacetime environment becomes disorderly due to unknown influences, and dangerous mutant creatures known as the “Ethereal” are produced. Ordinary people lost in the Hollows face not only the horror of being attacked by monsters, but have to risk the corruption and eventual mutation. However, citizens need not worry! New Eridu has fully mastered the technology to control the Hollow disaster! It even has the ability to extract valuable Ether from the Hollows. New Eridu is a miracle in an age of Hollow disasters, and should be everyone’s only choice!

I heard that each has its own Tin Master, and not only do they all look exactly the same, they’re all equally as strict when it comes to the quality of coffee. Since we’re here, let’s go try their newest drink, Mint Espresso! What elegant brewing! Tin Master is a real pro! The coffee is so rich, perfectly balanced with that hint of bitterness... Er, maybe I should’ve added a little more syrup though. Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur or a nine-to-five, don’t miss out on this exceptional coffee shop. Get a cuppa and take a break from work!
