At a glance, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden owes a lot to Sony\u2019s recent God of War outings. Its close third-person camera perspective, linear-but-open level design, and mix of environmental puzzles and hard-hitting melee combat are all present. But there\u2019s more than meets the eye here. After playing a whole quest I\u2019ve discovered that beneath that surface lies a soul just as connected to the Life is Strange series developer Don’t Nod is famed for as it is to Sony\u2019s godly behemoth.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

You play as Red, a Scotsman in 1695 North America, who\u2019s taken up the profession of Banisher \u2013 a sort of exorcist Witcher who hunts ghosts rather than monsters. But he also has a greater, more personal purpose. Red\u2019s romantic partner, Antea, recently met a tragic fate, and so his primary objective is now to find a way to bring her back to life. That\u2019s one option, anyway. Beyond its third-person action flourishes Banishers is hiding a choice-based adventure firmly rooted in developer Don\u2019t Nod\u2019s DNA. It provides a mix of violence and delicacy that could be felt clearly as I played through an hour-long mission from one of its earliest chapters.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Arriving in a small 17th-century east-coast settlement made up of ramshackle log cabins and huts that had seen better days, I was quickly introduced to the town\u2019s matriarch. An imposing woman by the apt name of Thickskin, she had little time for small talk but all the time in the world for big beasts. After tasking me with a mission to rid the town of a mysterious ghostly monster that\u2019s been terrorising its inhabitants for some time, I set off into the wilderness in search of clues. First, though, I\u2019d need a gun, and in order to get it I had to navigate a conversation with Thickskin\u2019s much less evocatively named sister, Kate. While the dialogue choices made here had no bearing on the outcome (you always get the gun), it did teach me more about the familial dynamics at play here \u2013 information that would later aid me in making a much bigger decision.<\/p>\n

With my new gun slung over my shoulder, I headed into the altogether unwelcoming woods in search of my prey. It wasn\u2019t long before grunts from beyond the grave looked to stop me in my tracks, however, allowing me to put my musket to good use. Its old-school kick delivers a satisfying shot as punchy bullets crash into bone, but a lengthy reload fitting of the era stops you from sending another in quick succession. You have unlimited ammo, but this reload time adds a natural risk\/reward aspect as it leaves you vulnerable while you prepare another loaded chamber. <\/p>\n

Melee combat then, is something you\u2019ll be utilising with far more regularity. On the surface it\u2019s not dissimilar from the raft of action RPGs you\u2019ll have played in recent years. A standard mix of light and heavy attacks, dodges, and blocks are punctuated by some of Banishers\u2019 more unique approaches to combat. <\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

You see, Antea may be dead, but she\u2019s still by your side in spectral form. And she\u2019s just as up for a fight as you are. Switching to her in combat opens up new possibilities, albeit not drastically different ones. She\u2019s still melee-focused \u2013 preferring bare fists to Red\u2019s cutlass \u2013 but is in command of a powerful area-of-effect attack that deals ghostly green damage to any ghoul around. And where Red has a health bar to manage and top up, Antea has no more life to fill a bar with. Instead, magic is her vitality. This is where the music to Banisher\u2019s combat dance is written \u2013 building up Antea\u2019s mana bar by attacking as Red before switching to his dead lover to send a kiss of death to their enemies.<\/p>\n

You can switch to Antea at any time outside of combat, as she\u2019s the vital key to solving some relatively basic environmental puzzles, such as lining up glowing glyphs to trigger a jump across chasms. But Antea is also a sort of spirit detective and can inspect spectral dust for clues to what has happened to the people of this place. Gaining new information not only fleshes out these ghost stories, but any scrap of intel could also prove crucial when faced with the \u2018big decision\u2019 that will seemingly occur at the end of each mission (more on that later). Echoes and visions of villagers\u2019 grisly demises only add to the creepy, uneasy tone that Banishers perpetuates throughout. Inspired by films like The Revenant and The Village, it’s a New England setting haunted by old evils. <\/p>\n

It posed a welcome challenge that made me juggle all of the tools at my disposal in an exciting manner.\u00a0<\/section>\n

That tone translates onto the enemies you\u2019ll face, who primarily consist of mangled collections of bones suspended by a ghoulish green glow. Waves of foes were made up of relatively basic melee and ranged units during this early section, but every now and then a stronger test would be posed. Enter the fearsomely named Nicholas Doolan \u2013 a reanimated corpse of a mini-boss that aims to pick you off at range with a musket of his own while swamping you with his skeletal friends. It posed a welcome challenge that made me juggle all of the tools at my disposal in an exciting manner. <\/p>\n

Of course, because we\u2019re in the year 2023, there are multiple ability, upgrade, and crafting menus to sift through in order to tailor your playstyle to your liking. Banishers\u2019 developers promise not to overload you with too many different types of weapons or armours to collect, though, instead letting you choose which of its modest offerings to specialise in and upgrade to their maximum level. I didn\u2019t get to experiment too much with these systems during my limited time with the game, but glimpses of powerful arcane abilities can be seen in some of the game\u2019s trailers, suggesting an exciting level of skill progression. Combat is not necessarily where I see Banisher\u2019s most interesting promises lying, though. Instead, I\u2019m drawn toward its story and the impact your aforementioned choices will have on it.<\/p>\n

The mission ends with a ritual that summons a visually impressive boss battle. A huge, clawed beast made up of rot, bones, and branches scratches and swipes at you as you chip away at its equally large health bar. It was a fun, three-stage fight that married the combat of previous encounters with in-world lore as each fleshless limb was banished after the next. The encounter itself is not revolutionary when compared to the action RPGs Don\u2019t Nod appears to take inspiration from, but what happened next is where Banishers sets itself apart.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Using all of the knowledge gained from the journey and tales told by memories of the dead, a fuller picture of the curse befouling the town is painted. These facts are crucial when making a critical choice involving the fate of the two sisters met during the mission\u2019s opening. I won\u2019t reveal the nature of their story, but rest assured it’s one filled with horror and tragedy befitting of the setting. It\u2019s not told through the most poetic of prose, but one that admirably establishes a bond between its characters in a short amount of time. <\/p>\n

The decision you have to make is a clear one, with genuine consequences for not just the sisters, but also Red and Antea. Pick the cutthroat option and the path towards Antea\u2019s resurrection will be further walked along. But opt for the more merciful route and you\u2019ll instead push Antea in the direction of ascending to the afterlife. It\u2019s this central conflict that will likely propel Banishers through its 20-30 hour story, and one I\u2019m sure will be riddled with all sorts of ethical conundrums as the temptation to return Antea to her corporeal form looms.<\/p>\n

While it may not have the level of quality in its writing or ferocity in its combat to match the calibre of games it’s evoking, Don\u2019t Nod\u2019s trademark choice-based narrative systems are where Banishers differentiates itself. Despite only playing for an hour, I found myself quickly invested in Red and Antea\u2019s story, and intrigued by what the remainder of Banisher\u2019s tale (and indeed my own decisions) have in store for them. I look forward to seeing what dark, sad, and likely horrific places it takes me to next.<\/p>\n
