While Yuito is better at close-range combat and Kasane excels at ranged attacks, both employ a type of telekinesis that bolster their own combos.Īs soon as you decide upon which combat style suits you the best, you’re thrown into an opening that’s best described as all style and little structure, with a seemingly endless array of names, titles, and exposition being relentlessly thrown at you. Players can fill the shoes of one of two main characters - Yuito Sumeragi or Kasane Randall – both of whom begin as new recruits of the Other Suppression Force (OSF), an organisation meant to protect regular citizens from the incursions of brain-eating beings from another plane. Described by its developers as a title in the “brainpunk” genre, I’ve come to think of it as a mixture of the likes of Bayonetta, Code Vein and Persona, at some times deliciously chaotic and at others frustratingly so. Scarlet Nexus is the latest from Bandai Namco, an action RPG that has also spawned an anime series that will more or less debut on the very same day (technically the anime will livestream a little earlier than planned its actual debut is pencilled in for 1 July).
