While the lush landscape constantly splayed out before you may get all the attention, it is the details that really make this game. It wasn't enough to simply design a game that feels like it might be somewhere in Asia, the design team wanted to bring a real feeling of culture to Zu. When exploring the world of Zu you will often come across structures unfamiliar to most Westerners used to castles or forts. Whether it's the sloped, tiled roofs or the wide open courtyards and gardens, the architecture in Zu is designed to be as much a cultural history lesson as a map point or save point.

Knowing that the design team for Zu Online pays such close attention to details, is it any surprise that they would even strive to make Zu easier for you AND your computer? A unique feature that would probably have otherwise gone unnoticed is the seamless map transition. The design team felt that using up RAM on your computer to store different maps would be an unnecessary burden so they designed their maps to seamlessly transfer from one to the next. No more waiting for the next map to load, while also reducing computer lag. Now that's thinking outside the box.
