Our take on Zodiac DX
The store page highlights the retro presentation, three-character cast, and extra modes, but gives little context about the characters or how the card game works. The result is a clear feature list with limited explanation of the main adventure’s structure.

Young’s Zodiac comic. It follows three everyday students on an adventure across the cosmos. The game has three playable characters, tuned-up levels with a Maniac challenge option, a boss rush mode, and a card game mode. It includes original graphics and a soundtrack.
