Hi Adventurers!

This is the Spot Zero team.

We are super excited to share our vision for Spot Zero. We didn’t want to create "just another" Anime RPG. We wanted to break the mold and offer a fresh, creative challenge.

To do this, we’ve combined fast-paced action with a Hybrid Play Mechanism inspired by the strategic depth of deck-builders like Balatro.

Here is how we are changing the game.

So, what’s the story?

The world is in trouble due to a massive demonic invasion. But there is hope! Humanity has teamed up with the Youkai spirits to build a town—our last line of defense.

You are the Lead Mentor of the investigation team. Your job isn't just fighting; you’ll recruit partners, manage their daily lives, and explore the dangerous "Outer World" to uncover the truth behind this apocalypse.

Not Your Typical Anime RPG

We are stepping away from the traditional formula.

  • Balatro-Inspired Strategy: We love the thrill of deck-building, so we integrated it directly into our combat. It’s not just about button-mashing; it’s about drawing the right hand at the perfect moment.

  • The "Spot Zero"Deck: When you activate the time-freezing "Spot Zero" field, the game shifts gears. Instead of simple button-mashing, you utilize a Card Deck you’ve built.

  • Strategic Ultimates: Your deck isn't just for show. The cards you play within the Spot Zero field determine which skills and Ultimate moves your team unleashes. It’s all about drawing the right hand at the perfect moment.

Combat: Fast, Free, and Fun

Outside of the card mechanics, we wanted the action to feel fluid👇

  • No Cooldowns: Hate waiting for skills to recharge? So do we. All skills have zero cooldowns. It’s all about creating your own combos and cycles.

  • Play Your Way: Every character is unique. Some use parrying, some use grappling hooks, and others play like a TPS shooter. Find the style that fits you best!

  • Elements Matter: Mixing different elements creates powerful synergies. Experiment with your team composition!

Play Hard or Chill Out

We know you’re busy. That’s why we have two modes👇

  • Active Play: Dive into the story, manage your decks, and target Boss weak points manually.

  • Idle Expedition: Need a break? Send your team out to explore automatically. They’ll farm resources and exploration points while you’re away.

We are working hard to make Spot Zero an experience you’ll love. We can’t wait to hear what you think!

Cheers,

The Spot Zero Team
