That said, there’s still more than enough for the story to hold interest when combined with the rest of game and it ultimately comes to a satisfying conclusion. There’s not a huge amount of difference in the information dropped across the two routes and players are also working their way through the same locations in a very similar order. Scarlet Nexus doesn’t quite justify the need for players to go through both routes to get all of the available story content.

Players can expect to take about 30-40 hours for their first playthrough and add around half of that for the second should they use the New Game Plus option. It also helps that the layout runs with one of the game’s main visual and narrative themes, the “Red Strings”, keeping it right at the forefront of player’s minds. At first, it strikes as a little odd, but the stylistic choice ultimately feels organic with the game’s aesthetic and direction. Players can see the speaking characters’ portraits and the main action lightly animated in their own panels, with plenty of cuts to new camera angles and other panels as the scene progresses. Scarlet Nexus has a distinct format to its event scenes, with most using a panel layout that gives the game a manga feel. The vast majority of event scenes feature a manga-esque panel layout. It ensures that there’s plenty of action, but certain crucial plot elements are just dropped in without having much build up, and players are often introduced to major elements about the world only as they become important. There are many intriguing elements to the setting, but the game likes to speed the story along when it can. The narrative has interesting ideas that are successful in some ways, but less so in others. Yuito and Kasane have their own separate goals and motivations for most of the game, but their paths intertwine throughout, with the two - and their allies - often coming into conflict in the process. Kasane’s story is suggested for the first run through as it gets the most impact out of certain events, and also offers a more complete picture of what’s going on. There are definite thematic similarities to the God Eater series, but Scarlet Nexus still feels like its own thing, particularly thanks to its effective and consistent styling. Members of the OSF each have a special power (such as Psychokinesis or Hypervelocity) and are given an anti-aging drug to ensure that they can fight for as long as possible, given that those powers fade with age. Both are new recruits to the OSF, a special force fighting against monstrous beings called Others that frequently appear and feed on human brains. Set some thousands of years in the future, Scarlet Nexus gives players a choice right at the beginning as to which character’s story to follow: Yuito Sumeragi or Kasane Randall. Despite a couple of minor detractors, it ends up as a very welcome addition to the company’s line-up and an easy recommendation to RPGamers. With an excellent combat system and a great visual style that permeates throughout, the game proves to be a highly successful venture. Scarlet Nexus marks another attempt from Bandai Namco at creating a new IP, with its development headed by a number of veterans, mostly known for their work on previous Tales titles.
