The first Zenonia ($.99) game arguably paved the way for the KRPG (Korean role-playing game) genre to be as popular as it is today on the iOS platform. It also made Gamevil a big player on the App Store.
Zenonia and its sequel are often compared to games like Zelda or Secret of Mana on legacy gaming systems like the Super Nintendo. The games are action RPGs that are old-school in aesthetics and gameplay -- and loved for this very reason.
Gamers apparently can't get enough of the genre, and the Zenonia series, because the third game is coming in a few short weeks. According to TouchArcade, the developers stated that it will be coming on the April 28, and to celebrate, the first title went on sale for $.99.
One of the great things about the Zenonia games is the amount of micromanaging you can do and all the items to collect. The Zenonia series is also known for the long length of gameplay with various quests and sub quests to complete.
Some of the story for the third game has also been revealed, and it is just as mystical and sci-fi oriented as expected from the series:
The world of Zenonia was divided into the Heavenly Realm and the Earth Realm until a war between the Divine Tribe and the Devil Tribe caused the creation of the Midgard Realm. The main character of the original Zenonia, Regret, appears to his son, Chael, the hero of this story. Chael, shortly thereafter while walking in a wood with his fairy friend Runa, disappears into the mysterious Midgard Realm. Your goal, as Chael, is to help the Divine Tribe get back to the Heavenly Realm and return yourself to Earth.
