EDENS ZERO Reviews
Edens Zero is another low-budget anime tie-in with hidden potential. Despite dated visuals and a confusing, shallow narrative, it offers surprising customization and some solid mechanics - though underused and ultimately repetitive. Aimed mainly at existing fans, it falls short as an entry point for newcomers. With more polish, a sequel could shine, but for now it’s best suited to the series' enthusiasts.

Edens Zero mixes quick story beats with easy-to-grasp combat and some fun team-swapping. There’s plenty to do in its open world, even if the environments feel empty and the performance takes a hit. Unlocking new skills and gear adds some variety to fights, but things stay pretty laid-back overall. If you’re into the series or just want something casual to mess around with, it might be worth a look.
EDENS ZERO sets out to honor the spirit of Mashima’s beloved series but ends up feeling more like an unfinished beta than a fully realized RPG. There are glimmers of enjoyment—janky-but-fun combat and a few heartfelt character moments—but they’re buried beneath outdated visuals, a bland open world, a rushed narrative, a repetitive gameplay loop, and an overall lack of polish.
EDENS ZERO might have something for fans of the manga or anime, but I would struggle to recommend this game to anyone. No one thing it does makes it a bad game, but EDENS ZERO manages to consistently reveal its issues with every system introduced.
