You’ll have a set amount of energy to play cards each turn, and there’s a focus on playing cards on specific turns to get their full effect. These take place when Doe uses a glove to hack into people’s minds (don’t question it) and although I only got to try one of these sections it was a lot of fun. It was perfectly functional though.Īs well as the turn based combat, Mato Anomalies also features some card battling. In this preview build there were 3 battles total and only a few moves to choose from though, so it’s definitely hard to say how it’ll advance later in the game.
I have no idea what any of that means, but it sure sounds serious.Ĭombat with Gram is turn based, and sees you selecting moves to take on the baddies. Gram seems to have a sworn pact to take down the Bane Tide, because if he doesn’t then Jade Lion will appear in the city. I have no idea where the story is going, but the Lairs have demons in (called Bane Tide) and they were the main threat in the demo.ĭoe can’t fight these nasty little monsters himself, but fortunately meets a mysterious samurai called Gram when he accidentally falls into a Lair for the first time. It turns out that gangs are using alternate dimensions known as Lairs to smuggle something called Handout. It doesn’t take long for Doe to realise that there’s something fishy going on at the docks. And so begins an adventure in the seedy local of Mato. In exchange for his safety though, Nightshade wants your help investigating some suspicious happening going down at the harbour. He’s been set up by some real bad dudes, and is having to rely on his ole pal Nightshade who has some serious underworld connections. Our protagonist Doe isn’t having the best time.
Mato Anomalies is certainly looking like an interesting JRPG though, with a heavy focus on story and even a splash of card battling. When you only get a chance to play a small sliver of a game that’s going to be 30+ hours long, it’s hard to know how that reflects the full experience. Of all the types of game I get the opportunity to preview, RPGs are the toughest.
