Let’s dive into this one because I have some serious opinions on this area of the game. However, there were numerous times where these mysteries and events could have all been solved very easily, and when they eventually are solved, it just leaves a bitter taste and my only response was “Really?” I definitely felt this way throughout the game - something would happen and my curiosity to uncover the truth would spur me on to play for hours on end. I played through Yuito’s story first, and the biggest appeal to Yuito’s perspective is the mysteries that surround him, his powers, and why certain events are happening the way they are.
#Scarlet nexus review series
I’ve spent the majority of my life just accepting most things that happen in these kinds of series or games as “anime logic”, but sometimes I do think this can be done just a bit too much. As I’m sure you’ve probably noticed, Scarlet Nexus is an anime-inspired game and if the aesthetic wasn’t enough to prove that to you, good Lord will you know it when you get into the meat of the story. Okay, let’s talk about my feelings regarding the story as there is a fair amount of stuff to unpack here. While their stories do overlap at points, there are elements that you will definitely miss should you only play from one character’s perspective. These routes have different protagonists, Yuito and Kasane. The game has two routes to choose from and these can be played in either order. This is a unit devoted to fighting the mysterious enemies known as The Others. Those who are particularly gifted with their powers, or just generally good in combat, are drafted into a military force known as the Others Suppression Force or OSF. Cities are filled with augmented reality advertisements, people are able to directly communicate with one another through brain messages - it’s crazy. In the world of Scarlet Nexus, the vast majority of humans have acquired cognitive superpowers such as pyrokinesis, invisibility and the ability to duplicate things - or themselves. You soon begin to encounter enemies which require you to borrow specific powers, for example, clairvoyance lets you lock onto Others who hide behind an otherwise impenetrable fog.Scarlet Nexus is a game that manages to strike a good balance between exploring its story and characters while also providing an extremely flashy, reflex-based combat system - I really enjoyed this game’s combat and I’ll explain why later. With the left trigger, you can hurl rare but useful environmental objects at enemies, causing huge damage, particularly if you also time extra button presses as they land. Then, if you follow those up with carefully timed melee attacks, you cause extra damage and recharge your electrokinesis, so it’s all about building chains of attacks. Using the right trigger, you can pick up random objects from your surroundings and hurl them at your targeted enemy. Gameplay-wise, Scarlet Nexus is highly satisfying, pleasingly distinctive, and as tactically demanding as you would expect a JRPG to be. There’s an uncomfortable period in which every other cut scene seems to include a character asking, ‘What’s going on?’ but eventually things become clear, if rarely predictable. The two storylines are initially more or less identical but diverge after a certain point, when a key plot point throws everything into chaos, with time-travelling and initially baffling conspiracies entering the mix.
Their OSF squad-mates have different powers – among them hypervelocity, pyrokinesis, invisibility, clairvoyance, and electrokinesis – which they can borrow for short periods via a brain-connection system called SAS, which also lets them communicate telepathically. Although they have different physical attacks they have the same psychokinetic powers, which eventually emerges as being integral to the story. The first thing you must do is decide whether to play as Yuito or Kasane.
Their job is to confronts and kills the Others deadly creatures that are apparently invading the Tokyo-like city of Suoh from another dimension. Set in a very Japanese parallel universe, it follows the fortunes of Yuito Sumeragi and Kasane Randall, two young cadets graduating to the OSF, a sort of psionic police force. Scarlet Nexus’ storyline is a wild slice of sci-fi that lurches in some deliciously improbable directions, yet contains calming character-bonding interludes that have the feel of a soap opera and bring a welcome sense of ebb and flow.
