Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed
Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed
Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed est un jeu de combat sorti le 28 février 2019 sur Nintendo Switch. Il s'inscrit dans l'univers de Zoids Wild, une franchise qui comprend également une série animée, une gamme de jouets, un manga et une application pour téléphone. Développé par Takara Tomy, Eighting et Codeglue, et édité par Takara Tomy et Outright Games, le jeu propose une campagne solo d'environ 11 heures, avec un contenu complet pouvant s'étendre sur 60 heures pour les joueurs les plus assidus.
L'accueil critique a été mitigé. La presse a salué le titre comme une porte d'entrée idéale dans la franchise, grâce à son mode histoire intense et ses combats rapides de méchas géants, tout en soulignant la profondeur du gameplay malgré son apparence simple, avec un contenu solo important. Les joueurs ont exprimé des avis partagés : certains ont apprécié les graphismes et la mécanique de jeu, mais ont regretté qu'il ne se hisse pas au niveau d'autres jeux d'arène de combat. D'autres ont été agréablement surpris par la profondeur des mécanismes, le considérant comme un bon jeu de combat doté d'un roster décent.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed is the perfect game to discover the Zoids franchise, with an intense story mode and fast-paced battles of giant mecha in the shape of a dinosaur. However, it is a title that is not very deep and lacks online modes. »
« There’s a decent amount of depth to Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed despite its simple appearance. There’s plenty of single-player content, thanks to the hefty Story mode, but seasoned fighting game fans will notice the absence of online multiplayer. Still, there’s an enjoyable fighter here – and getting to control a giant dinosaur-shaped mech is a novelty that doesn’t quickly wear off. »
« Even for newcomers to the franchise, there’s plenty of arena brawling fun to be had in Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed. It’s sorely missing online multiplayer and the story mode is of inconsistent quality but it’s never not exciting to smash giant robot apes rode by anime villains with a Mecha shaped like a Lion. Never. »
« Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed has come to do one thing: fight. Battle techniques built into gameplay have come a long way since the last arcade Zoids title, but Blast Unleashed manages to bring a strong, technical fighting emphasis to a long-running franchise. »
« Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed is great for younger kids and fervent fans of the anime series. While it won’t be endearing for anyone wanting a complex and competitive fighter, there’s enough here to please its intended audience. »
« Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed is a light and colourful arena brawler that will please younger fans of the show, but anyone else will likely burn through it in short order. »
« Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed is a relatively harmless licensed anime arena fighter. Superfans may enjoy its presentation, but nothing is here to rewards them for their time. The fighting system lacks any real depth of engagement, which boils down to a mindless button-masher until there’s a winner. Like the franchise, for me at least, Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed is just forgettable. »
« Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed is worth checking out for those seeking the thrill of battling in a robotic dinosaur but likely won’t keep players entertained for long despite that promising premise. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Graphics look nice, and we should be grateful that we got a zoids game. However, this is no where near on the level of other battle arena games like Ninja Storm and Gotcha Force makes this looks like a joke. The game design choices was way too numb down. Would be better off getting a 4 legged Mech in Armored Core. »
« Actually I liked it more than I expected, the in game mechanics are deep enough to have me involved, its a pretty good arena fighter whit a decent rooster, and most of the zooids feel different to play with. »
« Zoidswild Blast Unleashed Tons of content, not enough care Zoidswild Blast Unleashed is a fighting game based off of the anime Zoids wild, and I’m a bit impressed as much as I am disappointed in zoidswild... Theres so much content here, 16 characters and different forms of those characters to unlock.. I just would’ve liked a little more effort put into this game overall… The main chunk of content outside of the obvious 2 player versus modes is this games lengthy story mode, you get to play through this story mode as most of this games characters to unlock them all, and there is even a secret story mode to unlock which is the exact same thing as regular story mode, just with alternate zoids… so the good news is there is so much content and unlockable here in zoidswild.. The bad news though is that not nearly enough care went into making the story mode any interesting.. you would think a game based off of an anime would have an interesting story to follow.. the work is alrady done for you.. just turn it into a game like the budokai series did for dragon ball z., but sadly its just a hey we don’t like you, well we don’t like you story, lets fight eachother, youll get play as the good guys and the bad guys.. thankfully each zoid in this game feels unique enough to keep the battles feeling decently fresh.. but outside of the feel.. the combat here in zoidswild is so simple that I cant see it being a staple in your fighting collection, moves are as simple as waiting or a bar to fill up and holding down the button need to unleash it.. feeling almost like a real time pokemon game… zoidswild blast unleashed is laughably easy for the most part of its story, only getting a little challenging when the computer learns how to spam press the block button later on… thankfully the secret side of the story does offer more challenge though.. that being said, zoids wild blast unleashed is an okay casual fighting game.. it takes a while to get bored of going through the motions, unlocking new charactrs and skins.. I jst wish there were more dragging me thorugh.. Such as a story mode with some effort, care, stakes, and cut scenes… I again felt for the most part I was going through the motions trying to see all there is to see... I can see fans of zoids wild being content with this game, but there isn’t enough here to create any new fans unfortunately.. I give Zoidswild Blast Unleashed a 6/10 »
