REYNATIS

I want to love Reynatis, I do, but its cons outweigh its pros which makes it hard for me to justify a purchase at full price. While it isn't outright bad by any means, it's just... kinda boring. If I could leave a neutral review, I would as for me this game is just average at best. [b] My thoughts: [/b] Reynatis is a game that oozes potential in both its combat system and story, but falls short of the mark for both. The gameplay quickly becomes repetitive, boring, and, at times, frustrating. The story is somehow both simple and confusing at the same time. It leaves numerous plot holes and leaves so much unexplained. The one good thing that I, and many other people who have either played or reviewed this game, can attest to is the soundtrack. Yoko Shimomura is, and continues to be, amazing at her craft and it really shows through the game's music. Unfortunately, that isn't anywhere near enough to save this game as a whole. For a whole $60 there are definitely better JRPG experiences out there. Reynatis felt like I was playing a proof-of-concept, and I really hope that the devs pick this game back up and refine it for a future installment as it had such potential. If you played the demo and liked what you saw, go for it and pick it up. For how long I played it for, it was a decent way to kill time as a filler game. I'd recommend waiting for a sale if you're interested enough to try it out. [b] Gameplay [/b] It's a basic hack-n'-slash game with some skills to use mixed in. There's a dodge system that you can only use when not "powered up" in your wizard form. The combat becomes much more developed once you start getting more skills to use and party members to switch between, but other than that there's no further depth. Outside of combat, there's an odd GTA-style wanted system where if you walk around the city while showing your powers, you get a wanted meter that steadily climbs up. Once it hits 100%, you're thrown into a fight with the authorities that you're pretty much forced to lose. However, you don't lose anything for losing this fight, and when you hit the retry button you're just placed wherever you were when you got thrown into the fight making the whole fiasco just a time waster. You can also just clear the wanted meter by going into any load zone making it even more of a time waste. [b] Story [/b] The main cast is fun, quirky, just very anime-esque. The story is very straightforward and does a good job of explaining the basics of what's happening and world building. However, in the last few acts of the game (especially in the last act), there are a lot of things that don't really make sense or just aren't ever explained properly. It leaves a lot of questions left unanswered and by the end I didn't really feel satisfied with how the end played out. [b] Graphics [/b] I usually don't care about how a game looks, but for something that came out fairly recently, this game looks rough. Some things look like they came out during the PS2-era while other things, namely the main cast, are much more refined. It's a bit jarring when you look at it, but not the biggest dealbreaker. [b] Verdict [/b] Play the demo first and see if the combat and story are your thing. If it is, then cool, pick it up. Otherwise I'd highly recommend waiting for it to go on sale.

這遊戲一開始沒中文，所以只有關注。 後來steam上有中文了，來體驗看看 男女主聲優還ok 人物模組細膩度不足，就2025年來說人物實際模組不夠好是很多人的硬傷~ 遊戲戰鬥方式免強接受，不過沒魔法的時候會需要強制換角色打，不然打斷攻擊節奏會很不舒服， 可能是故意這樣限制，但不知道為啥?這樣設計? 至於劇情方面比較普通，前期感覺不出什麼特別之處 遊戲美術風格要看個人接受度，因該很多人會覺得很醜，不過玩過早期遊戲的玩家會覺得還行。 (以前更醜 看看ps上的太空戰士7 還不是能玩 遊戲好玩就行) 11/14前有折扣1183元 如果近期沒遊戲可玩可以考慮玩看看 沒折扣就覺得太貴了~還好現在才一千初

I liked the game, and I hate the post game story, seriously that was stupid and had a weird cliffhanger for a game that will most probably never get a sequel. What the heck

Combat feels floaty but fine I guess, kinda simple also with only 2 skills Story is god awful, I can tolerate most JRPGS even Furyu Slop and infact I love Monark and Crystar but holy sht Reynatis was terrible. Story didn't make sense. Everything feels rushed and ending at chapter 33 felt somewhat fine but then "After Reynatis" and chapter 34 happened. Ruined any kind of ending there was, even for Furyu slop this one is bad and I got it at -40% discount, this needs to be atleast 90% to be worth it honestly. How did they even get yoko shimomura for this man.

Урбаністична фантастика нечастий жанр, тому я підтримую будь які спроби малих розробників у цьому напрямку. Моя найбільша скарга, це, на мою думку, розділи гри занадто малі.

[b]This game isn't bad, but I can't recommend it to anyone.[/b] tl;dr at the bottom Let's start by saying that I was looking forward to playing this game when I saw the trailers and heard it was made by people who love Final Fantasy XIII-Versus, Kingdom Hearts and had a rare collab with a all time favorite The World Ends With You (TWEWY). If this game released like 10 years ago it would've been good but for todays standards it just too overwhelmingly mediocre and average in its execution. The gameplay is no better than a free gacha game like genshin impact and often feels like it too with how very limited and basic the combat often feels. While the character designs and shibuya itself have a strong style, the rest of the game looks very generic. Running around through the "dungeons" which is literally just a corridor with sometimes a branching path that you have to trespass [i]MULTIPLE[/i] times and fighting some fodder enemy that are there to drag out the experience. The music somehow features the legendary YOKO SHIMOMURA, but has like only 5 tracks total with the main title theme being the only one that stands out. Running around Shibuya with only a single track available for running around, fighting and being chased this game could desperately use more tracks which is all the more noticable when you play the TWEWY bonus chapter. While the main cast get a lot of screen time the story and npcs never really take off. The story is so generic and bland with no real motivation or drive except for the generic shonen trope of "I wanna be the strongest". Enemies are often only presented a few minutes before their respective boss fights and then are immediately forgotten, because their relevance to the plot is basically non existent. Seeing the cutscenes and trailers and overall description of this game being inspired by games like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and The World Ends With You, portrays a completely different game than it actually is. I can see the idea or spark that inspired certain moments from these games but nothing is done with it. Honestly if I haven't been told that this was inspired by said games I would've never guessed it. Take the combat for example, you only have a single basic combo and 2 skills and a finisher for each character and you can have up to 3 characters to switch during combat. That sounds like you should be able to do lots of cool combos or have interesting interactions between the characters but no. Every character almost plays the same, it doesn't really matter who you play with since switching out puts you on a cooldown for the next character switch. There are no synergies and no strategies to apply to the combat, so your team consists only of the characters you like nothing else. Compared to the free gacha game Genshin Impact it can't even hold a candle since there building a team is a big part of the gameplay and helps switch up the gameplay and makes for interesting interactions. Somehow this game is more comparable to a free gacha game, than the square enix games it was inspired by. Make it make sense. [b]TL;DR[/b] As someone who was really excited about this game and even got all achievements, I can't recommend this game because I don't know who would play this game in this day and age especially for this extremely high price. You can get better games for way less like NEO:The World Ends With You, HiFi Rush or Devil May Cry. They all come with greater graphics/style, absolute banger soundtracks, compelling characters, great story and gameplay thats both stylish and satisfying to play. [i]Don't buy this game unless it's on discount and you really crave a mediocre jrpg for a very casual playthrough. Literally get any other game I listed in this review, you will have more fun and a overall better experience.[/i]

Far to generic for what it's attempting. Aiming for the Versus mystique while misunderstanding Nomura's vision. A shame to waste good Yoko music on this. Hope they try again with something more original and higher quality.

The true 2024 GOTY

Un gioco che intrattiene di un piccolo team giapponese. Spero che abbia un seguito con un budget che gli permetta di esprimere ancora di più una base di idee e ispirazioni che funzionano molto bene.
