Anima Gate of Memories Arcane Edition (Nintendo Switch)

Anima Gate of Memories: Arcane Edition is one of my best experiences yet on the Nintendo Switch. This game is truly an impressive effort for a small indie team. While the game can sometimes look a bit basic here and there, I was continually impressed with the world design of some of the areas, especially the main hub and the last dungeon. The character models look slightly last gen, but their designs are top notch - Bearer and Nameless spring to mind (as well as a certain secret boss character). The voice acting can at times be a bit "cheesy", but I never found it intrusive or bothersome. I really appreciated that the story was to much “in your face”, but rather took a backseat and let you find it for yourself (just don’t expect the deepest/complicated story ever). It really made this strange world feel more alive and immersive. Speaking of immersive, if there’s one thing that will pull you in, it’s the amazing soundtrack. I love every track and I have listened to the entire thing several times since I got the game. (the description doesn’t say it, but you’ll get a physical CD with the soundtrack).One thing some people seem to be on the fence about is the combat. While it does have a surprising amount of customization, it does feel rather simple. I thought the combat was a little too generic at first, but after a couple of hours when the customization kicked in, I really started to enjoy it. Especially when fighting the bosses whom are a highlight of the game for me. They were all so much fun to fight with how unique they all were.All in all, the combat isn’t the greatest in the world, but if you take your time to experiment, it will grow on you really fast.Lastly, I just want to say how much replay value this game has. Firstly, you can for the most part tackle to bosses however you want, you are not forced to do them in any specifik order - although you’ll have to defeat some to advance to the tougher bosses. Secondly, there’s several different endings and the Arcane Edition even has an expanded campaign. There’s even NG+ for those who love that.I really just loved my time with this game, and I look forward to a little down the line when i’ll come back to get some more endings. Thank you for making this game Anima Project.
