FINAL FANTASY TYPE-0™ HD

Class Zero is a group of cadets from an elite military academy drawn into battle when the neighboring Militesi Empire attacks their homeland. The story follows their fight in a world shaped by rival nations and powerful crystals.

Missions use real-time action combat: choose three cadets for a squad, control one at a time, and use each character’s distinct weapons, magic, and abilities. Watch enemy movements for brief openings to land powerful attacks, and switch among the fourteen playable cadets to suit the fight.

Between operations, spend limited academy time talking to characters, taking on requests, and preparing for the next mission. Explore the overworld and tackle optional battles, while developing characters and upgrading their abilities; some activities and story details are available through repeat playthroughs.

In this helpfulness-selected sample, players who enjoy the game often praise its somber war story, the distinct playstyles of its large cadet roster, and its soundtrack. Some also appreciate the world details and the combat’s timing-based openings once its systems click. Reactions are mixed: recurring complaints include a difficult-to-follow story, clunky camera and combat, and demanding character leveling.
