Gameplay
The game supports free four-player online cooperative gameplay via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can control the on-screen character via the Wii MotionPlus in combination with the Nunchuk or the Classic Controller. It also includes weapon customization and more than 300 weapons. The player has the ability to target an enemy's head or limbs and cut them off, complete with blood effects.
Plot
The story is an adaption of the Ragnarok story of Norse mythology. The player controls one of two angelic siblings, Frøy and Freia, who serve the Norse gods by battling the races of giant that have emerged, leading to the eventual rebirth of the world. While the game takes considerable artistic license with the source material, it does reflect events and characters from the original myth.
Release
The game was released on February 11, 2010 in Japan. It is one of the first games on the Wii to use the black cover for Nintendo games with a rating of C or higher by the CERO. It was not released in North America, Europe, or Australia.
In the January 2015 Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Zangeki no Reginleiv and other Wii games would be released for download through the Wii U's Nintendo eShop. In Japan, it was released on February 18, 2015.
Despite the lack of a Western localization, Frøy and Freia (referred to as Frey and Freya) are represented by trophies in all versions of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Reception
Due to the game only being released in Japan, not many outlets have reviewed the game. Famitsu, Japan's weekly gaming magazine, awarded the game a 28/40 with a breakdown of 8/7/7/6.
NTSC-uk were impressed by the number of enemies the game featured but criticised the resulting slowdown and claimed that "Hacking, slashing, zapping and exploding. Zangeki no Reginleiv does what it promises." In America, PixlBit awarded the game 4/5 stars citing the game's excellent WiiMotion Plus utilization and the co-operative online mode. Siliconera said that the game is "mindless fun", "so mindless ... people are either going to love it or hate it."
