James writes - "After initially starting out as a Kickstarter, developers Anima Project asked for and received enough funds to get Anima: Gate of Memories a release on PC, with the future hope of making it to the next generation of consoles. Now it’s arrived on the latest consoles at a time when another Kickstarter video game has disappointed the masses. Can Anima: Gate of Memories, a role-playing action game based on the Anima: Beyond Fantasy RPG books, show gamers that there’s still hope in funding developers and their projects?"
Neil writes: "Like what BadLand Publishing have delivered? The latest content pack to hit Xbox One brings together a host of their best games in one big bundle!"
Badland Publishing is happy to announce that "Distrust" and "Anima: Gate of Memories" is now available in physical format for PS4.
Anthony checks out the sequel to this unique action title.
How critical is it to have played the original Gate of Memories game in order to follow this story? Is this title even worth picking up without having played the other?
Anthony here. Not critical to play the original. This is a stand alone title. It is however a game that benefits from knowing the first title, but it is in no way a sequel and not reliant on it. I think there's a fairly inexpensive download pack of both games that I would recommend but if you just want to dip your toes into the world of Anima then honestly just pick one of the two titles and go at it. If you enjoy it then play the other.
I vaguely remember noticing this on Kickstarter (well, I think it was this), so good to see it on consoles. Worth a little look if the price came down I reckon.
