Zero Chronicles



Zero Chronicles is 2015 fighting game by In-Verse, a brand new IP. Has big influence of Street Fighter EX series and Star Gladiator series Gameplay.

The Style of the motif is based in a magical, superhero style motif, and despite that, it is not a Spin-off of The Adventures of Vanessa series.

Gameplay
The gameplay follows an eight-row joystick with four buttons, one with a weak and strong weapon attack, a kick and a guard defense like the first Star Gladiator game, the gameplay is basically two dimensional with a 3D field and three leveled power bar like Street Fighter EX series, and also a small, but notable feature is the Ring Out, a stage has a crystal barrier that is breakable, but if a player goes on outside of being out by an attack, counts as a Ring Out and the other player wins. The power bar can be used, and, for the first time an attack of two bars can be used in the case of transformations, and there's also the new "Warning sign", a Warning sign is that the player has the Three Power Bars but less than 35% of the life, can excecute a powered up Super Attack to a Ring Out.

Like a game called Battle Fantasia, the characters' life are like a RPG with Numbers, for example, Elias has 4100HP while Sophia has 3200HP.

Story
Set in a random time, a bizarre contest is held in order to the strongest take over the "throne", Sophia, a tomboyish agent, who's of course, not human, knows the responsible, she enters in order to take down Solomon, a man related to her persona, in other hand, there's Leonel a.k.a. Leo, a youngster prince who's posessed by a demon sword, and tries to get rid of it, despite the mistake was of his own.

Cerberus Black was behind all the plans but his spirit ends stuck in two swords, these swords are in Sophia's custody, each of them represents supposedly, two of his three heads, while his third one is in his soul.
