  5.0

  I really wanted to like Anima: Gate of Memories – The Nameless Chronicles. I honestly hoped that a sequel could improve upon the original game in all the right ways. Instead, many elements either felt like they’ve stagnated or took a blatant step backward. The reused levels and story elements don’t help this at all. The whole game gives the vibe that it was supposed to be DLC rather than a full product. There’s still some fun to be found here, but it’s just smashed somewhere between one of the many repetitive boss fights.

  Anima: Gate of Memories – The Nameless Chronicles is a surprisingly deep RPG that offers a rich and interesting story, fast-paced combat and the freedom to explore its world however you see fit. Issues with its poor voice acting and somewhat dated visuals to the side, Anima is one hell of a fluid experience that seamlessly combines several well developed functionalities together to produce a memorable adventure.

  Anima: Gate of Memories: Arcane Edition is a real drag to play thanks to how terrible the combat is. This is a poor man's Nier- not the good one with the Automata subtitle, the really rough one that is actually somehow more polished than this. So much of the experience is just hammering on hit-sponges and getting sucker-punched from constantly spawning enemies until the protagonist kills the required amount.
