Zorro can and does take advantage of his or her whip to reach high vantage points, conjuring up additional memories from Assassin’s Creed. The game also features bonus areas that may require you to battle several enemies at once, but the enemies themselves advance very slowly, enabling you to engage them one at a time, reducing the difficulty level. In fact, the game is replete with visual cues, so it’s difficult to nearly impossible to get lost. When the dotted line turns red, the sniper is firing. You will need to look out for those, but you’ll see the moment they get a bead on you. That, too, is straightforward and easily navigated.Īs far as enemy types go, it’s a pretty solid mix of random guardsmen, the occasional armored guardsman/soldier, and snipers. Combat changes a bit as the game progresses as you do have a skill tree that you can follow, providing upgrades to both Diego and Ines. The stealth is pretty forgiving-think somewhere along the lines of early Assassin’s Creed games but with even more options in the event that you break your cover. The gameplay is incredibly straightforward and seems to be a mix of combat and stealth mechanics. Furthermore, while the game heavily focuses on combat, nothing is ever lethal, which is in keeping with a game targeted at a younger audience. In a side mission, you’re supposed to put up fake wanted posters featuring Monasterio’s face. Dona Ines, for example, can summon her horse to kick members of the garrison out of her way. One of the things Zorro: The Chronicles gets very, very right is the tongue-in-cheek flair of the story. While Diego can effectuate more creative takedowns, Ines begins each stage with more health. At the start of each stage, you must choose between Don Diego and his twin sister Ines as your player character. The game does, well, exactly the same thing but rather than episodes, you play through eighteen stages.
Diego operates out of a cave sanctuary where he stables Tornado, the fierce stallion Zorro rides. Ines aids Zorro via magic tricks she learns from her Chumash grandmother. Diego returns, conceals his skills with a blade and whip behind a foppish persona and creates the character of Zorro. Ines summons Diego back from Spain in order to use his fencing skills to defend the people of Pueblo de Nuestra Senora Reina de Los Angeles.
Zorro: The Chronicles the show features a teenaged Don Diego de La Vega who takes up the mask to right the wrongs perpetrated by the Spanish garrison and its leader, Monasterio. Overall, as a fan of the IP despite my ignorance regarding the cartoon, I’m more than willing to overlook some of the game’s shortcomings, but your mileage might vary. If you plan to play this game, you need to embrace that fact right now. The target audience therefore is children who are fans of the series.
How could I not be? More to the point, I was stunned to discover that apparently, the game is based on a 2016 cartoon. When I saw the chance to play a Zorro game, I was beside myself with excitement. I grew up watching black and white re-runs of Zorro I even watched the 1990 live action show.
