For a long time, players have been asking for a remake or a remaster of Parasite Eve. However, it seems Square Enix is not interested in such a thing. As such, IceSitruuna decided to make its own Parasite Eve–style game called Parasite Mutant.
Parasite Mutant will be a science-fiction horror RPG with anime visuals. In this game, players will assume the role of Psionic agent Nova. Nova was sent on a mission to an abandoned and secluded island city filled with horrifying creatures.
Parasite Mutant uses ATC (Active Time Chains), which is the exact same combat system Parasite Eve used. It combines the popular Active Time Battle system used in RPGs of the late-90s and a three-segment chain system. Players will need to time their actions on each segments and decide whether they want to save their energy and do a chain release. As the gauge fills up, players will need to dodge enemy attacks and launch their attack at the best possible time.
Parasite Mutant uses the classic equipment progression system. Players can attach various modules to their equipment or enhance their equipment using Plus Points that can be obtained through combat.
From what I can see, the game will also have a fixed camera that follows the player. Moreover, the devs will add a retro filter and CRT filter to bring players back that late-90s to 2000s vibe.
Now, while this sounds amazing, the following trailer has not sold me yet. The combat footage in this trailer is pretty rough and needs more polish. So, I really hope the devs will put some extra effort into it. This has A LOT of potential. At the same time, though, it needs a lot of polish.
Enjoy!

the fact one guy made this is impressive, i also now understand why china gacha games use this art style because it looks better than ps1 and ps2 games but you dont have to put the effort to make them look like modern games.
Looks better than anything in the last 5 years of gaming. It looks like a actual game and I see no sjw/dei/etc.
Both PE 1 and 2 looked good for their time. They look much worse than this does. I don't think its polish it needs just an open mind to try a new game that isnt quite AAA
