The underlying game is a hack and slack, and most of the time I spent in combat was spamming my attack button. For me, I found it better to have my party attack whatever I was, especially when I was fighting flying enemies that I couldn’t reach.Ĭombat in Scarlet Nexus is a mixed bag, to be honest. Depending on how you set up your party can influence the outcome of your battles. You can also set their battle strategies to fit your party’s needs – commanding them to fight to the death, be careful, attack my enemy, target other enemies, and so forth. Imagine being in the groove, doing your thing, and then it all falls about because you ran out of brainpower juice. I understand why you don’t want to make the characters overpowered, but it breaks up the combat. To use your powers, you’ll need a resource that slowly builds up over time outside of combat, or you can smack the enemies around with your basic abilities until you get more. While that all sounds interesting, there is a drawback. This mechanic is useful in different situations as you’ll have access to random powers throughout the game. For example, you can borrow Pyrokinesis of one character, using it to buff your attacks and set things ablaze, all while still using your own abilities. When in battle, you can borrow their powers and add them to your own – it’s pretty cool stuff. However, when you’re partnered with other characters, is when things get interesting. It’s sort of like the force powers from a certain Star Wars-themed game. It’s a handy power, and it’s fun just pointing your hand at random items on the ground, hurling them towards your enemy. ![]() This allows them to hurl items around at ease, sort of like gale-force winds. Regardless of which character you ultimately end up playing as, both possess a Psychokinesis ability. Let’s talk about these powers because they’re an interesting bunch. They didn’t do much in terms of progressing the story, and the items I received weren’t worth the time. They were your average “hey, do this for me, and I’ll give you this item” type of various quests. Outside of the main story, there are plenty of minor quests that didn’t really make a difference to me. Just when I thought I knew what was going on, nope, I was wrong. Instead, the game took me on a trip while constantly pulling the rug from under me. I thought we were going to encounter the same tropes that we’d always encountered. I enjoyed the plot here, as it was full of twists and elements I didn’t expect. Though, it is also why the Others are drawn to snacking on the brains of people. As a member of the OSF, you have certain special abilities, all thanks to something called psionic hormone found in the brain, and thus why you’re perfect for combating the Others. A group tasked with defending a futuristic world from an entity called “Others.” Which can be summed up as a group of mindless creatures that have this infinity for destroying cities, harassing their citizens, and eating the brains of anyone they encounter. In Scarlet Nexus, you take control of the members of the OSF, or the Other Suppression Force. Similar Games: Persona 5 & Persona 5 Strikers How’s the story?
