Maximo: Army of Zin

Product description:

Maximo: Army of Zin is an action-adventure game and the sequel to Maximo: Ghosts to Glory, released exclusively for the PlayStation 2. The game follows hero Maximo, who, together with the Grim Reaper, battles an army of mechanical undead – the so-called Zin. These enemies threaten the world with their dark technology, and it is up to Maximo to restore the balance between life and death. The game combines hack-and-slash gameplay with platforming elements and a touch of humor.

3 interesting facts:

1. Inspired by Ghosts 'n Goblins: The Maximo series is a spiritual successor to Capcom's classic Ghosts 'n Goblins games. This is reflected in the classic armor loss system: if Maximo takes damage, he loses his armor and eventually ends up in just his boxer shorts.
2. Cooperation with Death: Unlike the first installment, Maximo in Army of Zin receives help from the Grim Reaper. This mysterious companion provides him with advice and power-ups throughout the adventure.
3. Stylish mix of old and new: The game combines medieval fantasy with steampunk elements. The enemies – the Zin – are a mix of magic and technology, which creates a unique atmosphere that deviates from traditional fantasy settings.
