Set in fantasy realities, an RPG modeled after the Japanese representatives of the genre. The production is based on a card game called Anima Beyond Fantasy, and its digital adaptation is developed by the creators of the original. The game tells a story of a young girl and her demon friend named Ergo. They belong to a mysterious organization Nathaniel, whose task is to protect people from evil powers.

Anima: Gate of Memories for PC, PS4 and XONE is a third person action RPG in which the player will explore a vast world filled with dangers and wonders. In it you take control of two characters who are trap in a war in the shadows, a secret conflict that will engulf the world into chaos.

Anima: Gate of Memories aims to create an unique mix of action with traditional roleplaying. Players will be able to freely develop their characters skills as they wish, much like the character advancement works in the Anima: Beyond Fantasy RPG books. That will not only give them a huge amount of personalization, but it will allow to solve every situation in a lot of different ways. The gameplay also gives the chance to freely switch between the two main protagonists in any moment, even in the middle of an attack to combo their moves together. That way, players can experience very different game styles, or even combine both in an almost limitless number of ways.

The game is mostly focused on action and combat but, as any good RPG, it will also have infiltration and puzzle content. In Anima: Gate of Memories players will find a large variety of riddles that will give diversity to the stages, as they provide a much more relaxed part in the gameplay. Having two different main characters during the adventure also involves the emergence of a wide range of situations for the players. As an example, there will be areas where they are separated, so the players will have to act with each of them to facilitate the progress of the other.

While Anima: Gate of Memories for PC, PS4 and XONE is story driven, it doesn’t force you to ride along rails from place to place. The idea is to give players freedom to explore a rich world and tackle obstacles in the order they choose. These choices, even if you make “wrong decisions” or leave behind story points, will have a big impact on the progression of the game. This way, players can visit many different places and reach very different conclusions at the end depending on their choices.
