  • The remaster offers improved graphics, updated textures, and smoother UI, maintaining the original's atmosphere and aesthetic appeal.
  • The voice acting, particularly the English dub, is widely criticized as poor and detracts from the experience.
  • Gameplay issues include clunky controls, repetitive and sometimes frustrating combat encounters, and average or unpolished level design.
  • The remaster is seen more as a graphical update with minimal improvements to gameplay or mechanics, leaving some original problems unresolved.

    The story is generally praised for being intriguing, mysterious, and full of depth, successfully engaging players and immersing them in a rich, living world. While the narrative style is sometimes described as vague or mysterious, it sparks curiosity and interest in the game's universe and future installments. Some criticism is noted about voice acting, but the compelling plot and atmospheric storytelling are strong highlights.

    • “The story is intriguing and I would like to know more about the world, and I am looking forward to the next game in this universe.”
    • “The story is mysterious and full of depth — it feels like diving into a living myth, with so many secrets to uncover.”
    • “The atmosphere is great, the combat feels satisfying, and the story hooks you pretty quickly.”
    • “I was really hesitating whether I should wait for AoE spells and kill the dumb minions instantly because the story was not told in a special way, but it was kind of mysterious and I got curious pretty quickly.”
    • “[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.]”
    • “Look up the dev's story about this game... it's a bit heartbreaking, and it's a miracle that this project exists at all.”

    The graphics of the game are generally seen as good, featuring an appealing anime-inspired art style that resembles early PS3-era visuals and fits well with the game's aesthetic. However, as a remaster, the graphical improvements are considered modest and primarily cosmetic, with no significant overhaul beyond a fresh update. While the visuals are praised, they are not enough to compensate for the game's shortcomings in gameplay and narrative.

    • “Loving the game, fresh graphics, updated graphics.”
    • “[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.]”
    • “A great and underrated game, if you like lite-metrovaina type of games with a splash of Devil May Cry, and a Final Fantasy type of art style you are going to love this game.”
    • “The graphics, given this game is a remaster, are what you'd expect.”
    • “If you haven't played the original, this feels like just a bundle with maybe slightly remastered graphics.”
    • “Should've changed a lot in the gameplay department and revoiced/revised some lines instead of only being a graphical update to justify these remasters.”

  • gameplay

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as decent but unremarkable, with level design feeling incomplete and lacking depth. While unique elements like camera shifts and varied gameplay styles perform well without overstaying their welcome, the overall experience could have benefited from more substantial improvements beyond graphical updates.

    • “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.”
