Angespielt: Emma und der Wolf - gegen Mutanten: „Beast of Reincarnation“

Game Freak, known for the Pokémon series, has released a new project unlike any other before - "Beast of Reincarnation". Set in a post-apocalyptic Japan in the year 4026, the game features Emma, a Verseaken who fights against the Seuche that has infected plants, animals and people, turning them into Mutants known as Malefakte. By her side is Wolf Kuu, also a Malefakt.

The goal is to travel region to region, defeating god-like Mutants called Nushi and absorbing their powers to free the capital from the Beast of Reincarnation. The game features a unique combat system that combines tactical depth with real-time action, making it enjoyable and challenging. Players can choose from various Blutenskulten techniques for Emma and Kuu, which cost Blutens points to use, replenished by parrying enemy attacks with Emma's sword.

Tactical depth is balanced with real-time action, and finishing moves are executed with visible enjoyment. The game also features a mobile home-like structure called the Bauera, which provides resources, healing, skill learning, and weapon upgrading to aid players on their journey. The soundtrack is praised for its emotional depth and fitting timing, adding to the overall melancholic mood of the game.

Developer Game Freak has shown that they can create compelling, character-driven worlds beyond their Pokémon franchise, making "Beast of Reincarnation" a promising action game with depth and a focus on storytelling.
