Check out our impressions from the Scarlet Nexus demo

Since it was unveiled at an Xbox event in May 2020, Scarlet Nexus regularly distills his information. After revealing its heroes, we were able to access a demo version on Xbox this week. And this one has something that will make your mouth water.

In this demo we have the opportunity to go through the tutorial and the first mission of the two characters: Yuito and Kasame. During the tutorial you will have the opportunity to discover the basic gameplay of Scarlet Nexus: Movements, attacks, but also psychokinesis, with which you can send concrete blocks and other objects to your enemies. This ability can be used according to an indicator that fills up with “simple” attacks. It will therefore be necessary to find a balance between the phases of attack with the main weapon and the use of psychokinesis, even as you learn to combine them for devastating combos. It will also be possible to see the effect of Brain Thrust, that temporary “transformation” that is triggered when an ad fills up.

After the tutorial, you will discover your first mission. Whether you have chosen Yuito or Kasame, you will be joining a team with special skills. Depending on the character you play, you will have four different companions, each with their own special abilities, pyrokinesis, invisibility, clairvoyance … Skill tree enthusiasts will not be outdone, multiple techniques and passive bonuses can be unlocked via the brain map become.

During this first mission, you will learn how to borrow capacity. So you can use the powers of your teammates to fight against them Other

The game is based on the need to exploit their weak points in order to destroy them, for example fire attacks if they are covered in oil, or to surprise them about the invisibility. This is to prevent the attack button from being sent as spam for an hour. The player can also interact with the environment during times when the LT button appears on the screen. And what a pleasure to send a backhoe loader on an enemy in armor.

This universe is also explored in animation thanks to a series broadcast this summer. And what would an animated video be without flashy scenes? And from that point of view Scarlet Nexus

gives you some damn final blows. When an enemy is at the end of their life, you can press RT to trigger an animation that shows your hero taking down the enemy in a spectacular way. It remains to be seen whether the effect doesn’t get boring after a few hours. The soundtrack is not left out either, it accompanies the action as it should, taking inspiration from the animated ones.

Scarlet Nexus So clearly asserts its nature of action RPG game with the ability to develop your character as you wish. Seeing the full story of the two protagonists should be a great experience if the overall game is what the developers at Bandai Namco have shown in this demo. Scarlet Nexus can be pre-ordered on the Microsoft Store at a price of $ 69.99.
