    Woot! Hell Yeah Zeno Clash. Your name might sound like a generic JRPG but you're one badass unique game, and hope the sales continue to rise.

      Congrats to them breaking into first on D2D - I'm sure the STEAM figures are up there, too. Even though the demo viewpoint-shaking made me sick, I applaud the artwork and the gameplay. It's too bad I'm so sensitive to forced first-person melee screen shaking, or else I'd have purchased it.
