  The reason why I wrote “Near Nier” up above is because not only is gameplay similar, but at times The Nameless Chronicles plays with perspective and camera angles to really great effect. This is something Nier did extremely well, and I have to say there are moments in The Nameless Chronicles I think emulates that aesthetic very well.

  I know that I’ve mostly focused on the negative aspects of this game during my review, but I still wouldn’t call this review a negative one itself. Anima: Gate of Memories – The Nameless Chronicles isn’t a game with a huge, overarching problem that totally ruins it. It’s a game with a lot of small problems which, while easy to overlook on their own, become annoying when all mixed together. It’s playable. It’s even fun sometimes. But it’s not going to be anything spectacular. Nor will it most likely be something that sticks with you after you’re done with it. So long as you hold incredibly average expectations going into this game, then you’ll probably laying it be just fine when you’re actually playing it.

  5.0

  There is some joy to be gleaned from the game and if you’re avid follower of the Anima series you’ll enjoy picking through the game’s lore. Dip into it by all means but, stylish as it is, Anima Gate of Memories: The Nameless Chronicles does relatively little else to distinguish itself.

  7.0

  A massive improvement over the previous title, this ARPG doubles down on the strengths of its predecessor, namely story and setting. However, like the former, the action in Anima: Gate of Memories - The Nameless Chronicles is in many ways lacking due to its repetitive nature, bad platforming, and occasionally atrocious camera angles. Despite these harsh words, it is an overall solid dark RPG that should be played mostly for the story.

  Anima: Gate of Memories - The Nameless Chronicles is undoubtedly a great RPG with little downsides. It has fluid combat, plenty of loot to collect, a haunting story, and amazing enemy variety.

  A great addition to the Anima franchise. The Nameless Chronicles may suffer from some problems but its visual flair, great story, and musical score is more then worth another revisit to the Arcane Tower.
