Zeno Clash getting demo, DLC, SDK

By Robert Purchese Published 27 April, 2009

Bonkers first-person brawler to grow.

Developer ACE Team has said to expect a demo for Zeno Clash in the near future, along with downloadable content and an SDK for the creative types.

The demo and bug-fixing patch will arrive "soon", designer Andres Bordeu told LagZero (translated by Shacknews)

The SDK will allow fans mess to around with levels and other assets, and while there's no date, we're told "it shouldn't take very long".

New Tower challenges are a possibility for DLC, Bordeu added, but there are also other things being discussed. There's no concrete information on when or what, but ACE Team wants the DLC to be free.

Zeno Clash is a first-person brawler about bird-people and madmen. It's very good. And apparently all this talk about ACE Team being pushed over the edge and deciding to focus on casual games instead is absolute nonsense - an April Fool's joke, no less. And we fell for it.

Head over to Eurogamer's Zeno Clash review for our analysis.

    Pretty sure the whole "less ambitious" thing was an april fools.

    Oh EG, how could you fall for that?

    Usually I’d 'splash out' on an indie no questions asked - but a demo will really help persuade me in these hard times. My interest in this has been high since reading the review, I just want a bit of reassurance before taking the plunge.

    It WAS an April's Fool, it says as much on their blog page about The Malstrums Mansion.

    I picked this up the other day, and whilst its short, the purchase was well worth it. I was hooked from start to finish. Fantastic little gem.

    Yeah, it's a cool though bit repetitive game. Definitely worth my money at least, if nothing else it's interesting which I can't say that much else is in gaming.

    Short chapters detailing the relationship between Deidra and Ghat a bit more, or perhaps just anything in the background, would be fantastic DLC. I kinda liked how the game didn't force a love story down my throat, but for DLC I'm open for them considering that side track.

    Apparently, even though it's been among top sales on Steam for days already, the developer didn't break even yet. So, you people still on the fence, get it. It's worth it, trust me.
