Mission Zero is currently opening a beta for PC and Android users in some SEA countries.
Mission Zero is one of the new games introduced by NetEase during the NetEase Connect 2022 event. Presented as an action game with exciting gameplay and high-quality graphics, the game has received a lot of attention. receive and expect from players. On the occasion of the game opening test, Game4V will evaluate the game in detail through the article below.
Plot
Mission Zero is not too focused on the plot when the game’s levels often take place independently of each other. Players will be led into the world of Mission Zero through a dialogue at the beginning of the game, introducing the mysterious disappearance event after the Zero Night. From there, the boring life of the individual player will be completely changed after accidentally being caught up in the great conspiracy hidden behind this disappearance.
Graphics
The overall quality of Mission Zero’s graphics is quite disappointing. Even when set to the highest configuration level, players only receive images that are not sharp, the detail of the landscape as well as the characters is not high as well as the visual effects, light and dark are bad.
Due to the specificity of the role-playing gameplay on the ‘agents’, Mission Zero does not have a character creation system, but instead has the shapes available for the ‘special agents’. The characters in the game have diverse shapes from faces to bodies as well as costumes, ensuring the aesthetics as well as the unique characteristics of each individual. However, as mentioned above, the phenomenon of blurring, not high detail also affects the characters.
Similar to the character, Mission Zero’s landscape suffers from similar weaknesses. Diverse landscapes, complex contexts, many types of architecture, but not good in detail, color and contrast, etc. The npc in the game is not too diverse when most of them are taken advantage of. models of ‘agents’.
The advantage of Mission Zero comes from the character’s movements, both when moving normally and when fleeing, using items, and fighting are realistic and have a certain smoothness. But as mentioned above, the bad visual effects make the player’s experience heavily affected.
Music
Mission Zero did better in the music than in the graphics when the finishing quality was quite good. The background music has a thrilling melody, the fast-paced rhythm shows the atmosphere of the game well. However, the limitation in the remaining two categories is the character’s voice acting and the sound in the game that affects the player’s experience.
The agents in the game do not have their own voice acting and are not clearly shown in the game. Accompanied by the sound in the game is not too realistic, when the character uses the item. Weapons or skills are not too obvious, but only a few lines like ‘Get out of here’ or ‘gimme that’.
Style play
Mission Zero’s gameplay can be considered an enhanced version of the usual ‘cat and mouse’ game. In which the player will have two factions, mobius and sirius, corresponding to the ‘cat’ and ‘rat’ factions. The goals of both factions will be important codes kept by key people, which will help the organizations of both sides take control of information beneficial to the organization.
Each match in Mission Zero will last 15 minutes, depending on which side the player chooses, the mission will be different. If you choose the Sirius side, the task will be to steal the password from the key people, a total of 4 passwords, otherwise, if you choose the mobius side, it will be to protect the password to prevent it from being stolen by the other side.
To win is also divided into two factions, in which Sirius needs to successfully steal four codes and enter into the server. And mobius will be more challenging when either having to defeat the other three players at the same time or keep the password until the time runs out.
The control mechanism of Mission Zero is not too difficult to get used to, but it also requires players to have a certain proficiency with the familiarity of the map and the skill set of each ‘agent’. In addition to increasing the challenge of the game, NetEase has added some built-in mechanics. First, the Sirius faction will have 4 members and have additional tools such as stun bombs, smoke bombs, etc. to distract and hinder the mobius faction; while mobius faction will have attack skills to take down the other side.
Both will be able to increase their skills in battle with a mission completion bonus (mobius is killing Sirius, Sirius is successfully stealing the code).
Features and game modes
The feature system in this test version of Mission Zero is not too diverse. In which management features including managing agents (costumes, biographies, skills, etc.) and items (smoke bombs, stun bombs, etc.) will be the most important feature. The rest of the basic features like shop, friends, etc. will also be in the game.
In addition to the regular game mode where players can choose between two factions and participate in random levels, players can also test their skills in difficult ranked matches. In addition, players can also invite friends to create their own favorite team to participate in matches.
summary
For the current test version Mission Zero has built a relatively interesting gameplay, with its own attraction and challenge. At the same time, the game modes as well as the added features also contribute to an impressive experience for players.
However, it is quite unfortunate that the two biggest limitations of the game come from the categories that should be strengths, which are graphics and music. For graphics, even at the highest configuration setting, the image quality is not high, the detail, sharpness as well as the visual effects are quite bad, not like what NetEase introduces. The music of the game is better with the sound quality of the background music being quite good, but the voice acting or the character’s interaction with the landscape, using items is not good. Hopefully Mission Zero will improve in the next versions to really become a quality game.
