EDENS ZERO

The story takes place in space, where Shiki Granbell and his companions travel between planets and face powerful opponents. This is Mashima's story, adapted as an open-world action game.

The base of the adventures is the planet Blue Garden, home of the Adventurers' Guild, to which the main heroes belong. Besides the episodes familiar from the manga and anime, there are new story branches and quests created specially for the game.

EDENS ZERO is a 3D action RPG from KONAMI, based on the manga and anime by Hiro Mashima, the author of Fairy Tail and Rave Master. We travel through space with Shiki Granbell and his friends and go through the story of the original again, only now we take part in the battles ourselves instead of watching. The visuals are styled after the anime, and between fights there are many cutscenes voiced by well-known actors. For those who know the original, it is a chance to revisit favorite scenes. For everyone else, it is a fairly complete adventure: the storylines from the original are supplemented with new quests that appear in neither the manga nor the series. Combat is built around a team of eight heroes. Among them are Shiki, Rebecca, Weisz and Homura, and each fights in their own way: some go hand to hand, some shoot, some use weapons or cast spells. New characters join as the story goes on, so the set of moves expands gradually. Special Ether Gear abilities make fights more varied, and choosing a hero for a specific opponent becomes part of the tactics. You can explore different planets, and the main game region is Blue Garden, where the Adventurers' Guild stands. There are more than two hundred missions and requests there, so between story chapters there is always something to do. Character customization is a separate layer: more than seven hundred pieces of equipment change both stats and appearance, and the look can stay the same while the strength is raised. There is also the EDENS ZERO ship, which serves as a headquarters: on board you can trade, upgrade items, cook meals with bonuses, and under certain conditions recruit some of the heroes you meet and even former enemies. The game is single-player, with achievements, controller support, and cloud saves. There is no Russian translation: the text is in English and several other languages, and the voice-over is Japanese.
