    Zenonia

    Zenonia is a fun, albeit somewhat generic portable RPG. Even when you can understand the hit and miss translation, Regret does not seem very funny, insightful or clever and the game, though done well, feels generic and oftentimes grindy to a fault. 
     

    +1000 EXP! 

     
    Zenonia is kind of like Zelda or Final Fantasy, being a SNES-like action RPG. You start off in a small town, your adopted father is killed, and you go on some kind of epic quest to join a guild and save the world. As I understand it, you can choose between being a lawful member of the holy good guy guild, or you can join the bad guy dragon guild, either way leads you down the same path, where you fight the same-ish enemies and bosses. Fighting and questing are usually pretty fun, but there are not enough quests to go around, you'll often be forced to grind, or quit.
     

    Game Over! 

     
    Grinding is really boring, and some quests are boring or hard. The translation is really spotty, and although adequate, the touch screen controls are not all that great. Aside from a few problems, the game itself is fine. 
     
    For a couple of bucks, it's a very good value, but some issues with pacing and content keep it from being truly awesome.
