    Anima: Gate of Memories is one of the best Action-RPG you can play on any current gen platform. A great gameplay, the interesting game mechanics, the story and a gorgeous soundtrack, are only a few of the qualities of this game.

    Anima: Gate of Memories is a jewel amidst the independent videogame projects. It doesn’t aim to be perfect, but it features a deep story and a great combat system. Its price is also lower compared to other games, so it is worth a try.

    This is a title I encourage players new to RPG’s to dig into and deserves a spot in everyone’s library.

    I’m finding it hard to recommend Anima: Gate of Memories to anyone outside of diehard fans of the IP and I don’t know a single person that falls into that category, so I can’t really recommend it to anyone.

    Anima is not that engaging at all because of that overreach, and it’s stressful because I really did want to enjoy this. But the games it tries to be like; titles like Nier and Dark Souls, are unforgettable, potent, important titles. I should not be forgetting almost everything about a game that aspires to that level of greatness. But in this case I did just that.

    Fundamentally, it feels like the Kickstarter budget should have been a little higher to achieve what Anima: Gate of Memories clearly wanted to be.

    Anima: Gate of Memories is a classic example of a developer trying to create something bigger than they're capable of. The game attempts to be a grand RPG with platforming and puzzles, and yet it fails to pull off any of those mechanics off.

    Anima has great voice acting, an interesting story, great art style and includes platforming elements well. However when I first picked it upAnima has great voice acting, an interesting story, great art style and includes platforming elements well. However when I first picked it up I wondered if the controls were meant to feel purposefully akward / restrictive for the same reasons as the Souls series has, to make it hard intentionally. However after about 15+ hours into the game I couldn't decide if that was true or not. Combo's can be strung together DMC-esque style but it doesn't feel as satisfying as it does a struggle, with less of a reward at the end. The two character switch at the touch of a button feature is well implemented and is just another example of the great ideas that went into this title. Had the handling and movement been a little smoother and feel like less of a hassle, it could have been something we talk about as an example of just how ambitious 'indies' can be. Just falls short of the mark.… Expand

    First, the camera and the controls are clunky when you have to jump, and this game has some platform parts that are simply infuriating. Camera and controls are the responsible for the majority of your deaths. It is frustating.

    Secound, the bosses. From the middle of the game, the bosses are simply very poorly designed, and the battles go from being fun to just frustrating.

    Third, the story. It is shallow but acceptable. But due to the previous two factors, it simply fails to give you a reason to continue playing.

    From it's middle forward, this game fails to be fun. A pity.    … Expand
