Oldschool A-RPG with some interesting new mechanics.
Null Zone: No Way Back
SteamAn evil sorcerer has shattered the world into isolated zones and filled them with creatures bound to his dark will. You are sent to find him and break his curse—but first, you must survive.
Teleportals connect the zones, but they only open when you've purged every creature. Gather loot, master equipment-based skills, and escape before death claims everything you've earned. Other hunters are here too—will they be your allies or your killers?
Explore 50+ brutal zones. Face permadeath consequences. Hunt alone or squad up. Find the sorcerer. Break the curse.
Escape or perish. The choice is yours.
WHAT MAKES THIS GAME DIFFERENT:
◆ Skills come from equipment— no classes, your gear defines your abilities. Swap weapons, change playstyle.
◆ Armor has sizes — if you can't equip something, check the size. Humans, orcs and elves wear different fits.
◆ Durability matters — melee weapons lose durability on hit, ranged on use. Some skills cost extra durability. Armor wears down from damage taken (physical armor from physical hits, magic from magic).
◆ Mobs wear real gear — enemies use equipment with durability. Kill them, loot their worn gear, repair it at the vendor.
◆ Death is harsh — you lose EVERYTHING except your flask and gold. Choose your fights wisely.
◆ Cone vision & alert system — your vision follows your mouse, not a circle. Enemies can sneak up behind you! Mobs also have vision cones and will alert nearby friends when they spot you.
◆ Portal stones — each danger zone has a portal. Kill ALL mobs to claim the zone's teleport stone, then escape to safety. Use stones in the city to return to that zone. Mobs respawn 5 minutes after zone is cleared!
◆ Zones always reset — entering any zone (via portal or gate) resets it completely. Fresh mobs, fresh danger.
FOR NOW YOUR GOAL: Defeat the Dungeon Boss - the first peace that lead to Evil sorcerer .
Or just have fun :)
