Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyApr 20195/5 starsIf it takes some JRPG or dungeon crawling mechanics to help broaden the appeal of the kind of storytelling experience that Danganronpa champions, then so be it. Zanki Zero isn't really "new"; underneath the dungeon crawler window dressing it's too similar to its predecessors thematically to stand out as a bold new statement.

GamePittRob PittApr 201910/10Zanki Zero: Last Beginning is the best Dungeon-Crawling RPG I’ve played to date, you need to buy this game! As soon as you begin to play this masterpiece, you’ll become absorbed by the beautiful environments, addicted to the combat, obsessed with uncovering 100% of the maps, and in love with the banter being thrown about within the narrative. For a game with so many parts to it, such as survival, combat, exploration, puzzles, and narrative segments, every aspect is presented perfectly to create a rock-solid experience.

GameGrinMay 20199/10Zanki Zero: Last Beginning oozes both charm and horror in equal measure. It's a highly enjoyable game that deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. Perfect for fans of horror, mystery, and dungeon crawling RPGs.

GameSpotHeidi KempsApr 20196/10Zanki Zero's strange blend of roguelike exploration, survival gameplay, and sci-fi character drama is truly unique, but lousy combat and a rough beginning stretch keep it from greatness.

PlayStation LifeStyleLucas WhiteApr 20196/10There’s a time and a place for that stuff, but as a reward for tenacious grinding, I’m not buying what Zanki Zero is selling.
