Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
All in all, 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.
Remember Zoids? That show about animal mechs from the 80’s that never quite got to the same heights as all the other mech shows at the time? Well, the series itself may be mostly quiet just now, but the games keep rolling out every so often. This time, in the form of the international release of Zoids Wild: King of Blast, now titled Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed outside of Japan.
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.
Takara Tomy is trying to bring Zoids back to the West with the help of this latest 3D Fighter. And after playing it, they'll need to try a bit harder.
