Zenless Zone Zero is HoYoverse’s take on fast action combat, set in a stylish futuristic city. You play as Proxies who guide agents into dangerous areas called Hollows, and battles are short, flashy and full of combos.
Combat
Combat is the highlight. You control a team of three and can switch between them instantly. Perfect dodges and well-timed parries trigger counterattacks, and chaining switch attacks between characters feels great. It is easy to start, but there is room to improve your timing.
Style and music
The game has a strong visual identity, with comic-book style cutscenes, colourful characters and a great soundtrack. Walking around the city, buying coffee and chatting with residents has a relaxed vibe.
Mission structure
Between battles, you explore Hollows through a board-style map. Some players enjoy the puzzle element, while others want to get back to fighting faster. Recent updates have added more direct action content.
Mobile performance
It runs well on recent mid-range and flagship phones, and missions are short enough for quick sessions. For the best visuals, PC or PS5 is recommended.
Verdict
If you want a gacha game focused on action instead of exploration, Zenless Zone Zero is a great choice. It is stylish, fun and easy to pick up for a quick session.
