Succeed and become immortalized or fail and be forgotten. This is your chance for glory!

In fast-paced PvP matches, teams face off in compact arenas where every second counts. Objectives vary by game mode, but success always depends on how quickly you adapt to the flow of combat.
Players can equip three weapons and one ability from a wide selection, allowing them to craft a loadout that fits their preferred playstyle. Whether you favour precision, burst damage, or crowd control, your choices define how you approach each fight.
Movement is a core part of the experience. Espers have access to dodge, evasion, and other advanced techniques, enabling rapid repositioning and aggressive momentum. Combined with your chosen weapons and abilities, these mobility options create an endless range of tactical possibilities and responses to any situation.

Fast-paced, high-mobility PvP combat designed for quick, intense matches
Three-weapon loadouts with a growing arsenal of weapons and weapon skins
Unique Esper abilities that let you shape your combat style
Extensive character customization with cosmetics and personalization options in the future
Deathmatch and Touchdown modes, with additional mode in development
Mode-specific maps built for tight encounters and strategic positioning

Customization is a core part of Code ZIN. The game is built to support individuality, both in how you fight and how you present yourself in the Arena.
As an Esper, you define your identity through character and clothing customization, and shape your combat approach with personalized loadouts built around your preferred playstyle. Every Esper enters the Arena with a look and strategy that is uniquely their own.
Set within a cyber-themed virtual world, the game features handcrafted maps and evolving modes that showcase your style and choices. Whether through visuals or gameplay decisions, Code ZIN gives you the tools to express yourself every step of the way.

The identity you build is closely tied to the NetSphere itself. The Zenith Intelligence Network, known as ZIN, was created as an attempt to form a self sustaining intelligence that learns from the actions and decisions of its users.
By the year 2053, humanity has begun to transition into virtual spaces. Without realizing it, players contribute to the rise of true artificial intelligence as the world approaches the technological singularity.

Worth every penny I paid. "Unauthorized" No explanations, no game. Check back in 6 months to see if maybe by then there's a game to be played here.

R.I.P.
Fühlt sich an, als hätte mich jemand 2013 in einen Energy-Drink getunkt, auf einen maximal fragwürdigen Drogentrip geschickt und gesagt: „Viel Spaß in S4League.“ Leider ist das Movement komplett verrostet, die Hälfte der Spielerpopulation wurde offenbar ins Paralleluniversum ausgelagert. Zu empfehlen?! Auf gar keinen Fall. Würde ich das nochmal spielen?! Mit klarem Verstand? Niemals. Hat es Spaß gemacht?! Leider ja. Viel zu sehr.
Игра 'Code ZIN: Esper Arena' впечатляет своим динамичным геймплеем и яркой графикой. Интересные механики боя, разнообразие персонажей и возможность прокачки делают каждую схватку уникальной. Музыкальное сопровождение отлично дополняет атмосферу, а интерфейс интуитивно понятен. Хоть сюжет и не главный акцент, игра отлично подойдет тем, кто любит экшен и стратегию. В целом, отличный проект для внимательных и любознательных игроков.

잘만들었는데 캐릭도 귀엽고 파쿠르하고, 무기도특이한거꽤잇고. s4리그같음 근데.. 사람이없다... 서브컬쳐 pvp 찾다해봣는데 ai전도 해봣는데 죽지도않어.. 킬수도 안오르고, 나만죽고 ㅋㅋ.. 이런거는 그냥 싱글모드처럼하게해주지...; 완전연습모드네 사람잇으면재밋을거같은데.. 다른 맵테스트들어가봣는데 연습모드들어가니 무기테스트 해볼수잇던데 이런거는 괜찮네 ai감안이잇고 뒤에무기선택가능하고.. 사람이없어서 제대로 게임을할수가없음.. 아쉽다. ai전이라도 혼자플레이할수잇게만들어주지
¡Hola! Aquí un S4Leaguer. Primero que nada, he visto muy buenas reseñas de este juego antes de que estuviera en Steam. Sin embargo, estas son mis impresiones: pareciera haber pocos o ningún jugador, así que no pude entrar a jugar (tal vez el sistema de matching está fallando). Por otro lado, la movilidad fuera de combate se sintió muy similar a lo que ya conocemos, me alegro por eso. No obstante, en combate al pegar o disparar se siente todo más lento, como si hubiera sido adaptado para estos tiempos donde la moda es estar estático. Las animaciones están bien, pero cambiaría un poco la animación de los golpes light de la sword, ya que no logré distinguirlos de los heavy. Espero poder jugarlo pronto con gente! saludos
Entré con mucha ilusión esperando que fuera literalmente el mismo S4 League de toda la vida pero bajo otro nombre, relicenciado para darle una segunda vida. Quedé un poco decepcionado al ver que se trataba de un proyecto nuevo, todavía muy verde. El movimiento del personaje por el mapa sí se siente muy dinámico y cómodo, igual al del S4 original, pero al usar un arma ya es otra cosa... disparar o golpear con un arma ralentiza muchísimo al personaje y elimina el increíble skill gap que podía haber en el S4. De todas formas, tampoco he podido jugar partidas reales porque no hay ni un solo jugador (absolutamente NADIE), y el problema es super sencillo de solucionar, simplemente que el personaje no camine ni se mueva más despacio mientras dispara/golpea ni después de hacerlo. Todo debería ocurrir al mismo ritmo y velocidad con la que te mueves fuera de combate. I jumped in really excited, hoping it would be literally the same old S4 League but under a new name, relicensed to give it a second life. I was a bit disappointed to see that it’s actually a new project, still very rough around the edges. Moving around the map does feel dynamic and comfortable, just like the original S4, but the moment you use a weapon it’s a different story… shooting or hitting with any weapon slows your character down massively and completely kills the incredible skill gap the old S4 had. In any case, I couldn’t even play proper matches because there isn’t a single player online (literally NOBODY). And the issue is ridiculously easy to fix: just make it so the character doesn’t walk or move any slower while shooting/meleeing, nor right after doing it. Everything should happen at the same pace and speed you have when moving outside of combat.
