Anima: Gate of memories
Anima: Gate of Memories is a third person action RPG that tells the story of two beings bound by an unwilling pact, an ancient monster and a girl who lost her past… Forced to stay together, their lives will take a unexpected turn when both discover that something darker than they could imagine is about to start, a war in the shadows in which they will have a leading role. Anima: Gate of Memories brings to videogames the world of Gaia from the Anima: Beyond Fantasy RPG table-top books. You will enjoy a deep and multifaceted story where your choices and actions directly impact the journey and decide the fate of the characters. Dual characters In Gate of Memories you control two different characters, Ergo and The Bearer of Calamities, and you can exchange from one to another thanks to the special synergy they have. What makes this system truly unique is that both are not "physically" present at once, but we can invoke the other even in the middle of any action, continuing the movement and creating spectacular combos. Each character also has at its disposal a large set of special skills that you will be able to develop and customize as in a traditional RPG.

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.

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.

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.

worth to try it out.

Frustrating play style, confusing menus , and very unclear progression system. It's almost like they were trying to make a Souls-like but instead made a game that has controller response that is too responsive, resulting in the camera pointing at the sky more than where you want it to.
If you can get past that, the art is gorgeous, and the score is well worth listening to.
