El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster developer crim has announced that Reversi-style game El Shaddai: Zero Nine Reversi is now available for PC via Steam worldwide. El Shaddai: Zero Nine Reversi will be discounted to $3.59 (MSRP: $3.99) on Steam through November 15.
El Shaddai: Zero Nine Reversi is already available now for Android and iOS.
Here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:
Zero Nine Reversi is a board game that puts a bold twist on classic Reversi. Every stone has HP.
The game includes two ways to play: “Classic,” a deep single-player challenge, and “Online,” where you pick a character and battle other players.
Classic
In normal Reversi, flipping a stone is the end of the story. In Zero Nine Reversi, a flipped stone loses 1 HP. When its HP reaches zero, the stone is purified and vanishes from the board. This simple change turns every match into a battle of attrition, where positioning, timing, and resource management matter as much as territory.
