Cool-Looking Action RPG Set in Modern-Day Tokyo Heads West This Fall

Publisher NIS America has announced an English version of dark action RPG Reynatis heads west this Fall on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.

Reynatis, directed by Takumi Isobe, is described as a single-player “atmospheric urban fantasy” and is set in a realistic recreation of Shibuya, Tokyo, “where the ultimate clash between magic and order is about to unfold.”

Here’s the official blurb:

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!

In Reynatis you navigate the streets of Shibuya and choose between remaining concealed to talk to civilians, shop, and accept quests, or exposing your true self to harness your inhuman powers. You get to visit the alternate world of Another, a fantasy land packed with monsters and secrets.

As for combat, you can freely swap between using evasive maneuvers in Suppressed mode and using magic to deal damage in Liberated mode. Each of the six different playable characters has their own unique abilities, from summoning to aerial attacks.

Reynatis is developed by Furyu, the Japanese studio behind The Caligula Effect, Monark, Crymachina, Crystar, and The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered.
