Anima: Gate of Memories

What if NieR Replicant was 100 times worse? This game answers this and then some The Bad: - Looks like a ps2 game (but released in 2016) - More stock sounds than original ost, from what it felt, with sound levels being inconsistent - Combat is mind-numbingly one-dimensional - Very few enemy designs that constantly get reused throughout the game - Boss fights that range from boring to gimmicky to straight up breaking the rules for when you get to hit them and when they get to hit you through your dodge - Characters range from being blander-than-white-bread to vile, with horrible voice acting to boot - The singular story "twist" is telegraphed so hard you wouldn't be able to miss it even if skipping every single dialogue and cutscene Probably wouldn't be this harsh on an indie title if not for the distinct feeling that the dev team tried to make a statement of how much they hate anything good and/or fun in video games by making an uninspired copy of a cult classic play this horrendously. Do not bother with this, there is no fun trainwreck here, just a poorly made game

i liked the game, story was good, especially the background about each of the bosses, i read through them (since collecting them is required for each boss) and was curious to know more, i also loved ergo's model (he's shirtless too, and kinda cute) although he can be a bit annoying, but still liked him. the game even in tutorial pop ups and till the very end, kept referring to console buttons, despite me using a keyboard and mouse, so had to see which button does what on my own, unsure if that was left as is but it could be confusing. also some areas can be a bit too dark in lighting. even though the game is female protagonist, it didn't feel like the player is meant to be her, whether in dialogue, Ergo's interactions and everything else almost, and i dislike that, i did expect maybe something else, so just something to note, still it was okay, not too bad.

A PS1 game in 2016 damm an it Just got a remaster for who ? lol, but yea the game feels like its a homework for a new game developer.

Its has good combat mechanic and customization. The game give you freedom to challenge the bosses in any order, I think it's an interesting design to make the game less linear. The story also good, even it has no shiny AAA cut scene. Overall this game is good.

A fun game with an interesting backstories for each characters. decent game with many flaws. Bearer of "Calamity"... in its own name. not that bad to say no. worth to try it out. looking forward to the remastered.

One of my favorite games when it comes to fantasy RPGs. It's rich with the history, characters and everything else. If you love fantasy rpg games from ps2 or a lowest console, you will love it.
