The first person action title currently scheduled for release on April 21 2009 is the latest game to get the special STEAM treatment.<\/p>\n
The game promises a strong focus on melee combat and will play out in a fantasy-punk setting. It is being developed by ACE software and makes use of the popular Source engine as seen in Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead.<\/p>\n
“ACE Team’s focus on melee and fighting in a first-person game was a somewhat risky move, but having played the demo of Zeno Clash it appears that their work has really paid off.” said Robin Walker, co-creator of Team Fortress and game designer at Valve. “The art in the game is also an incredible part of the experience — they’ve really achieved something innovative with this title. I look forward to playing the full the game, and whatever they create next.”<\/p>\n
STEAM users who preorder the game today will pay half price. The game will carry a regular price tag of $19.99, so those that pre-order it today will pay $9.99.<\/p>\n
After today, it will be available for 25% off its regular retail price to those who preorder it though STEAM.<\/p>\n
