These monsters descend from a strange place known as the Extinction Belt, whatever that is supposed to be. Your job is to keep them out, defending one of the last bastions of humanity until it eventually crumbles. Who exactly you’re fighting remains unclear, they are simply labelled as ‘Others’ and seem to surround the walled city that you and your friends call home.
I only saw a few examples of this in my preview, but Scarlet Nexus appears to offer a decent amount of versatility in its combat, even if movement and dodging doesn’t feel nearly fluid enough to avoid powerful attacks that foes just love to dish up repeatedly. As a character she is a little bland, providing us with just enough personality while also existing as a self-insert. I jumped into the shoes of Kasana, a stoic, hardened young adult who wants to protect her older sister and the newfound friends she finds in the game’s opening hours. You play as Yuito Sumeragi or Kasane Randa, both members of the Other Suppression Force (that’s the tories in our reality). It pitches a stylish, unorthodox idea and runs with it, echoing the playful relationships and dystopian environments we’ve seen time and time again in the genre. Scarlet Nexus doesn’t break any new ground, but I’m not convinced it’s trying to. After playing a couple of hours of the game, I’m keen to see more, even if it fails to escape all of the archetypes I've come to expect from an adventure like this.
Now, this weeaboo trend is set to continue with the upcoming release of Scarlet Nexus, a dark and gothic adventure with anime stylings and a surprising amount of distinct ideas going for it. That last one is my favourite anime, if you hadn’t already guessed.
