El Shaddai: Zero Nine Reversi is Now Available for Steam

El Shaddai Zero Nine Reversi

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.

Features

      • HP-Based Reversi — Stones have 0–9 HP. Flipped stones grow weaker and eventually vanish. Every move ripples across the board.
      • 40+ Stories — Earn Rank Points to unlock the stories of angels and fallen angels, complete with original character art and movies.
      • Multiple Board Sizes — From the compact 6×6 Mini to classic 8×8 Reversi and the cross-shaped 12×12 Annexation.
      • Special Rules — Game-changing rules such as Solo Enoch, Metatron’s Wave, and Gariel’s Light.
      • 5 AI Difficulty Levels — From EASY to DEATH. The top-level AI punishes every mistake.
      • Daily Challenge — A new challenge every 12 hours, with a fixed board, HP, and rules.
      • Online Rankings — Compete with players worldwide on a rating system shared across all platforms.
      • A Rich Story World — Set in the world of “El Shaddai,” featuring beloved characters such as Enoch, Lucifel, and Michael.
      • Keyboard & Mouse Support — Full support for arrow-key board navigation and stone previews on mouse hover.

Online

A versus mode where you choose a character and fight. On top of stone HP, it adds the “BUMP & BURST” rules and a unique ability for each character.

Features

      • BUMP & BURST — When you flip a stone, its HP drops by your character’s attack power (ATK). A stone whose HP hits 0 bursts and frees up its square. A single move can turn the tables.
      • 40+ Characters — Each has their own HP, attack power, and unique ability. Charged, automatic, conditional and more — each ability type changes how you fight.
      • Online Battles — Take on players around the world in Random Match, or invite friends with a room code. Your record and ranking are saved.
      • Team Battle — A 2-vs-2, four-player mode. Work with your ally to take control of the board.
      • Play Offline Too — Battle the CPU, play 2-player on the same screen, or play Team Battle. Choose an 8×8, 10×10, or 12×12 board.
      • Archive — Spend the Gold you earn in battle to unlock characters, titles, effects, and backgrounds.
      • Daily Challenge — Complete daily tasks to earn points and claim rewards.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster is available now for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam worldwide. A PlayStation 5 version was previously announced, but no further details about this version were revealed.

Final Weapon reviewed the Steam version of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster and gave it a 3.5/5 score, noting that “the Steam release gives new players a chance to explore what this cult classic is all about while giving old players the opportunity for a replay.”
