Co-Optimus may not have an official stance on Zeno Clash II, but we reviewed Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition on XBLA and found that it was a fun game, with a few flaws. However, for 25 cents it can't all be that bad?

Editor's Note: Zeno Clash on PC doesn't feature the co-op mode the XBLA version did.
Cards, wireframe models, and endless battles pretty much sums up the latest Zeno Clash 2 update. The Steam version of the game is now part of the Trading Card system, meaning you can fill your Steam inventory with tons of little pictures you'll probably never look at again. Or sell them in the marketplace, whatever. On the slightly more useful side are two brand new challenge modes to lose yourself in: Framerate and Colosseum.

After playing through the original Zeno Clash, I didn’t know what to expect from ACE Team this time around. What do you do after making a first person brawler set in a fantastical world where you sort out differences through a bout of fisticuffs? The answer is simple, continue the adventure and add a co-op partner so you have double the flying fists. Zeno Clash 2 does not diverge from the obscure, relying on those brave gamers who want to try something out of the ordinary.
After all the teases and quick looks, Atlus has finally released a video that shows a significant amount of gameplay from Zeno Clash II. The first person melee game is set in a surreal world where combat is as combo-heavy as it is hands-on. No fair using guns to pick foes off from a distance. Here, you actually have to step in and get some blood splattered in your face. It's a bit like Mirror's Edge with a lot more punching. Wait, let's go back and write that again with emphasis: a lot more punching.

Release date time! ACE Team and Atlus recently announced the first person melee fighting game Zeno Clash II will hit Steam on April 30th, with the XBLA and PSN releases to come at a later date. Pre-orders for the PC release have also opened up, featuring several options that include discounts, free copies of Zeno Clash for you and/or your pal, plus a bonus digital soundtrack and artbook.

The first person melee brawler Zeno Clash, which is second only to Mirrors Edge in its ability to cause motion sickness, has a sequel on the way. Zeno Clash II looks just as bizarre and intriguing as the original, and as the trailer below illustrates, in the world of Zenozoik it's perfectly acceptable to replace your lower lip with a painter's palette.

It's a bit early to call the year's best of, worst of, etc. But anyone who has played the original Zeno Clash might expect its sequel to end up just as bizarre looking, if not even weirder. Well, thanks to a new batch of screenshots from Atlus, we know Zeno Clash II is indeed one different looking game. Sure, something more bizarre could come along, but t would take some strange minds to do it. Even then, would such a hypothetical game feature drop-in, drop-out co-op like this one? Highly unlikely!

Atlus have announced a sequel to Zeno Clash, a unique game that saw co-op added in its 2010 iteration on XBLA. The new game, titled Zeno Clash II, drops players back into the beautiful and rich world of Zenozoik as they experience this first person brawler.
