BadLand Publishing has announced that Anima: Gate of Memories – The Nameless Chronicles is now available on Steam. As the press release reads, the Nameless Chronicles will take players back to the events that gave birth to the first Anima, but from the standpoint of the enemy side.
Players will assume the role of The Nameless, an immortal who has been assuming different identities throughout history, and his quest to find a meaning to his eternal existence. In The Nameless Chronicles players will accompany him on a journey in which his past lives will be interwoven with a war in the shadows in which the fate of the world will be at stake.
Like Anima: Gate of Memories, this new installment is an Action RPG packed with spectacular attacks and memorable bosses, which mixes elements inherited from traditional table top RPG with a gameplay reminiscent of hack & slash classics like Devil May Cry and Nier: Automata. Action, exploration and evolution of the character through experience points are some of the mechanics included in its gameplay.
Enjoy!

I just noticed one thing.
This Game can be played even on “Windows XP” OS, as listed on the STEAM’s web page ?
FWIW, I still have my original Windows XP CD with me, even installed the OS few years back for some other purpose/task, not just casual Gaming.
But some of the OLD PC games (not all) do run slightly better on XP, instead of WIndows 7/8.1/10 OSs, because of DX9 and other compatibility issues.
is this the sequel to that game that critikal did voice acting for? I am a simple man i see dmc style gameplay and Charlie and i buy.
Yes, sequel to that game. And yes, for the price it’s a nice low-budget DmC clone mixed with Nier: Automata inspiration.
Cuz u just need 3 names
I’m working on the DSOGaming review for this game. Several hours into playing it. VERY impressive effort for only having a few main developers instead of a team of 50+. Clearly a low-budget game, but it has its charms. Will take a couple weeks for the review most likely.
Few of the indie developers/publishers, and other lesser known Gaming studios have got great talented guys, and in some cases they are at par, or even better than AAA developer team.
Though, it’s sort of vague to make this comparison, but some of the INDIE games do fare better than AAA titles, if not all.
Yes, that’s Anima: Gate of Memories, the first game they made in the series. It is VERY connected to this game. The main characters of the first game are introduced in the first half hour of this new game, for example. If you want to truly understand the world, you need to play both. That’s my conclusion after six hours of the second game.
The good news is you can buy both in a package for only $25 USD, which is what you’ll want to do if you decide you want to play the games. I’m playing the new game now to review it…then I actually bought and will play the first game in the series to fill in all the story gaps.
And let me say these games will grow on most players. They start a bit rough, but I’m getting hooked into the world and gameplay.
Yes, very low-budget version of DmC with a more JRPG “Nier” style story with interesting/bizarre characters and a fairly confusing main plot. Several hours into it, I do like it a lot despite its obvious flaws.
I only played the base game but I can say it’s clearly inspired by DMC. Would be a fun game if you can look past the atrocious voice acting and edgy-it-up-to-11 level of writing.
