Lasting Appeal

Stylish, Fast-Paced Combat System
Zenless Zone Zero features a dynamic real-time action combat system with flashy combos, tag-in mechanics, and fluid dodging—similar to Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. Every character feels unique, and chaining skills between team members keeps fights energetic and satisfying.
Distinctive Urban Sci-Fi Aesthetic
Set in a futuristic post-apocalyptic city called New Eridu, the game blends cyberpunk vibes with anime flair. Its environments, UI design, and music create a modern and sleek atmosphere unlike any other HoYoverse game to date, appealing to fans of both sci-fi and street fashion.
Diverse Playable Characters with Unique Roles
Players can build teams from a roster of “Agents,” each with their own personalities, combat specialties, and animations. The game rewards experimentation and team synergy, making each setup feel fresh while offering room for strategy.

Gacha System Still Central to Progression
As with other HoYoverse titles, rare characters and weapons are locked behind a gacha system. While rates may be fair, luck plays a big role, and free-to-play players may find themselves at a disadvantage in high-end content without key Agents.
Limited Exploration and Linear Structure
Unlike Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero features hub-based progression rather than open-world exploration. This design suits fast-paced gameplay but may feel restrictive for players who enjoy open environments and world discovery.
Repetitive Mission Loop Over Time
While the combat is flashy and fun, the core loop of dungeon crawling and side tasks can become repetitive if not frequently refreshed with new content or events. This is especially noticeable in the later stages of grinding.
