    • “[It will introduce you to the Anima TTRPG world, a remaster of two games that tell the same story from different perspectives. Looks, plays like, and shares similar themes to one of my favorite games. Anime style visuals that are similar to early PS3 games.]”

  • gameplay

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally decent but feels underdeveloped, with level design resembling an incomplete prototype lacking depth and mechanics. While unique elements like camera shifts and varied gameplay styles work well, the overall experience lacks refinement and could benefit from more substantial improvements beyond visuals.

    • “The changes in gameplay are also unique, with lots of camera angle shifts, oscillations between platformer and combat, and even a stealth level-- all of which performed well and didn't overstay their welcome.”
    • “There's a particular battle in game 1 near the end where two large enemies are in a room with you... the mechanic of this enemy is that if it runs into a wall, you get an opening to an attack as it gets dizzy.”
    • “The level design feels like a rough sketch of an idea for Zelda dungeons, back when Zelda was good, before being filled in with more meat and mechanics to make it complete, only they never filled it in, so you're getting the demo version.”
