What has changed in the village and beyond its gate.

The gates open: early access

Zenith Online is open to play in your browser, free, at play.zenith-online.online. It is early access: the world will keep growing, and so will the beasts in it.

What is in it today

  • The village with its smithy, tavern, library, market and arena, each a painted room.
  • Six lands in first person, from the Enchanted Forest to the Star Temple, and the Maw beneath the Ashlands.
  • Real-time fights built on timing: parries, dodges, shields, the torch, thirteen skills and four stances.
  • A hundred and ten weapons, shields and armours, crafting at the forge, and the Words of Power.
  • The arena: bouts on the sand, the gauntlet, wagers, and a ranked ladder of duels.
  • Play on a phone or a tablet held sideways, with controls made for the thumbs.

Accounts

You can play at once as a guest. After a few minutes the village register asks for a name and a password, and from then on your hero is kept on the server and you can sign in from any browser.

Fair play

Everything of value (coin, experience, loot, the forge's rolls) is decided on the server, not in your browser. Edited saves are put back, and nobody can play faster than the game allows.
