Description
A Western Capcom sequel released in 2004 (Europe, US), the third and final entry in the Maximo branch. Players fight the Zin Army, a mechanical legion threatening the kingdom, in a more accessible formula than the first game but still demanding. A reworked combat system and new open arenas.
Trading the undead for a mechanical army, this sequel pits you against guardians of metal with menacing gears, in even more spectacular levels. Mastering dodges and charged blows stays vital to dismantle these colossi without losing your lives. Still demanding but more generous, the whole refines the recipe while keeping the bite of its boss fights.
Is Maximo vs Army of Zin still worth playing in 2026?
An action platformer from Capcom, Maximo vs Army of Zin extends the skeleton hero of Ghosts to Glory with snappy combat, vertical exploration and a difficulty inherited from the Ghosts'n Goblins spirit, in a colourful, oversized setting. The handling smoother than the first entry, the scale of the levels and the macabre cartoon charm appeal to fans of demanding action. The sometimes ungrateful camera and the high difficulty call for perseverance. A tough 3D platformer to recommend for fans of old school action and old fashioned challenge.
