Zenonia 5

By late 2012 Gamevil had enough confidence in its Android audience to launch the fifth Zenonia there first. Zenonia 5: Wheel of Destiny reached Google Play on November 29, 2012, while iPhone owners waited until January 10, 2013. It has since passed ten million Android downloads, more than Zenonia 4, and remains listed under Com2uS Holdings, the name Gamevil now trades under.

What Is Zenonia 5: Wheel Of Destiny

Where the previous chapter gathered old heroes, this one starts over. A war long ago left corruption spreading through the kingdom, and a new hero rises from a slum village to face its bosses and uncover the mysteries of Deva Castle. That fresh start is the main reason many players recommend Zenonia 5 as a first Zenonia game, since nothing in it depends on knowing who Regret or Chael were. The tone is still classic Zenonia, with a top-down 2D world, chatty characters and a long main quest.

Zenonia 5 Introduced Four New Classes

None of Zenonia 4’s classes carried over. Instead, Wheel of Destiny offers its own four, each with a separate set of strengths and special moves:

1. Berserker
2. Mechanic
3. Wizard
4. Paladin

Each class grows through skill charts, so two players with the same class can end up with quite different builds depending on where they spend points. Equipment and customisation sit alongside that, and the combat is designed to respond to your reflexes in real time rather than through auto-battle.

Side Quests, The Abyss And Global PvP

The game is built to last a long time. Alongside the main story it lists hundreds of side quests and adventures, which also serve as the main source of gear and experience between story chapters. The Abyss is the place to chase rare and legendary items, and asynchronous global PvP lets you fight other players’ characters without both of you needing to be online. Zenonia 5 is the bigger, more open of the two late-series Zenonia games, whereas Zenonia 4 is the one with the stronger link to the series’ history.

Does Zenonia 5 Still Run Well On New Phones?

This is where honest expectations matter. The Play listing has about 4.3 stars from hundreds of thousands of reviews, yet several reviews from 2024 and 2025 complain about input lag, with the d-pad and attack buttons responding late on recent Android phones. The last update dates from December 2022, so no fix has arrived. The listing also shows a compatibility note, which means some newer devices may not be offered the install at all. Players who do get it running report that the delay is easier to live with on a tablet or with a controller.

How Zenonia 5 Compares With Zenonia 4

Zenonia 4 is the reunion story with a Fairy companion and returning heroes, whereas Zenonia 5 is a clean slate with a new hero, new classes and a castle mystery. Zenonia 5 has the larger download count and more side content, while fans of the series lore usually prefer Zenonia 4. Gamevil followed both with Zenonia S in July 2015, which moved toward an online format.

A Few Tips For Wheel Of Destiny

Try more than one class in the opening area before committing, because each has its own special moves and the skill charts make switching later costly. Do the side quests in the first towns, since they set you up for the first major bosses. Visit the Abyss only after your gear has caught up with the story, as the rare drops there are guarded by tough enemies.
