REYNATIS is an action RPG set in the painstakingly-recreated streets of Shibuya, Tokyo. In a world where fantasy meets reality, the citizens of Shibuya fear magic and the power it holds, forcing wizards to conceal their inhuman abilities or face oppression.

Seeking freedom through strength, the wizard Marin heads to Shibuya, where he meets Sari, an officer of the MEA, an organization dedicated to keeping wizards under control. Conceal your magic to explore the city as a regular civilian and shop or take on quests, or use your explosive powers to reach new locations and battle those who stand in your way. Fight for what you believe in in this stylish, spellbinding RPG from director TAKUMI and featuring music by Yoko Shimomura!

RPG Site: Reynatis's combat feels like nothing else in the genre​


We only had a very brief chance to take a look at Reynatis at NIS America's booth during Anime Expo, yet the game is already leaving a strong first impression - thanks to a fascinating combat system, which feels unlike anything else I've played - even if we've got a lot left to see, when the game will launch later this year.

Reynatis' gameplay revolves around the player character's two main states; Suppressed and Liberated. You can only attack while in Liberated state, but this comes with a caveat - a character's MP will drain the longer they stay Liberated, and special attacks drain the MP faster. Pressing the left bumper, you can switch between Liberated and Suppressed state. While you'll be unable to attack while Suppressed, you gain access to the ability to dodge enemy attacks to regain MP.

While I say the combat is simple; it's worth considering that the demo takes place during a very early place in the game, and while in the full release players will be able to switch between up to 3 different playable characters at will, we only ever had the chance to switch between two - and for only one battle, to make matters even more difficult to judge. That being said, even during the early stages the game's combat felt engaging - and since different characters have their own MP pools, I could imagine switching between them at will, depending on their available MP.
