Slave Zero X

Slave Zero X is set four years before the events of Slave Zero, in a world where living biomechanical machines called Slaves are being prepared as weapons of war. In Megacity S1-9, the Sovereign Khan rules with force. Shou, a swordsman in the secret band of warriors known as The Guardians, rejects their plan to stop the Slaves from being unleashed: he merges with a stolen Slave Unit Prototype and sets out to kill Khan, whom he sees as a false god.

Combat and movement

You fight with swift swordplay, explosives and combos against enemies made of flesh and metal. Air juggling, dashes and frequent target switching let you attack foes of any size; wall-jumping and platforming help you evade them. The campaign includes mini-bosses, set-piece encounters and climactic one-on-one fights against villains.

You can use the Training Room to practise precise moves and link them into attack sequences.

The world and soundtrack

The visuals combine 2D sprites, stylized 3D environments and an advanced lighting system. The soundtrack draws on 1990s music, with Drum’n’Bass and industrial tracks.

After the campaign

After completing the campaign, you can take on further challenges in the Crimson Citadel, a procedural challenge tower with an online high-score leaderboard. It also includes an ultra-hard battle against SovKhan in his ultimate form, “SovKhan 300%.”
