The game gives players freedom to explore a rich world and tackle only the obstacles that they want.
Reviewed by playing a on July 9, 2018Anima: Gate of Memories - The Nameless Chronicles is also available for and.If you want a fast-paced hack-and-slash sword-swinging ki-blasting RPG, here's a game for you. The Nameless Chronicles is from Anima Project, the developers who also created the predecessor, simply titled Anima: Gate of Memories. The Nexus of Memories acts as your hubYou play as an immortal entity who's destined to walk the world forever and protect it from evil. The Nameless Chronicles has a rich world filled with monsters and villains and almost the whole game takes place in the Gate of Memories which is some kind of other dimension so don't expect to walk much in the real world.
The setting is very strange and disorienting but as long as you know what you're getting into, you'll have a good time.You are the Nameless but things weren't always that way. After walking for a while in the Gate of Memories, you enter a small fishing village that you recognise. Upon gathering a few memories, what you learn made me feel incredibly sad. In my opinion, that's what makes a good story great: the ability to make me feel sad so well done, The Nameless Chronicles.
That's not to say the story is all good. If you're not paying close attention, you might be confused why you walked through a door in the Gate of Memories just to end up in a mansion of puppets or a burning cathedral. It can be weird stuff.
The Gate of Memories is made of worlds from the minds of the MessengersThe Nameless Chronicles is an Action RPG and the combat resembles Bayonetta while also featuring an RPG progression system like you'd find in a Final Fantasy game. Basically, every level grants you two skill points to spend on the skill tree. There's a nice variety of useful skills but it isn't huge and complicated as the max level is only 16. There are a lot of different moves to perform so you're free to use your own fighting style.
That leads me to my next point; I love the combat system. It's incredibly smooth and you can assault your enemies from a distance, dodge attacks, or use ranged attacks in the blink of an eye.Thankfully, The Nameless Chronicles has a dizzying amount of bosses and great enemy variety. It isn't a long game but it's densely packed with never before seen bosses in almost every new area you visit. You need to keep your guard up because each new boss has different attack patterns from the last. The first half of the campaign isn't too difficult but the rest of the game has very difficult boss fights. The Red Lady, one of the first bosses you encounterIf you're a completionist, there are a few optional activities that you can do but there isn't really a huge amount of optional content (as expected from a game of this size). Items are littered around for you to find that are mostly consumable ones, some equippable artifacts, and weapons.
There is a secret boss and a secret ending, too, but the secret boss is no joke so be warned! Anyway, there are a couple of other activities to be found as well. You'll find the memory of a great inventor (Gaudemas) who will create a powerful item if you bring him materials.
In the cathedral area, you can even play a combat mini-game with four segments and each segment offers a reward.Perhaps The Nameless Chronicles' only real weakness is that it's fairly short and has to compete in a genre with many 40+ hour games and that might be disappointing for some RPG fans. Also, there's little to break up the tedium of combat.
It would have been cool if there was a fun little mini-game or some other unique content to be found somewhere. This mansion of puppets was created from the mind of a great inventorAnima: Gate of Memories - The Nameless Chronicles is undoubtedly a great RPG with little downsides. It has fluid combat, plenty of loot to collect, a haunting story, and amazing enemy variety. Maciejewski (crazyaejay): Wow, this seems incredible! Have you played the original Anima: Gate of Memories? How does this one compare?Alex Legard (alexlegard): Thanks so much, I haven't played it I'm afraid. I heard in that game you actually play as Ergo and the bearer, who appears three times as a boss in this game, so I'm interested to know what kind of role they play in the first game.
I meant to reply to your post AJ, oh well.A.J. Maciejewski (crazyaejay): Awesome. I think there's a pack with both games in it. I'll keep an eye out and pick up a copy whenever it's on sale.

A guide to find all hidden items in Anima Gate of Memories: The Nameless Chronicles. I'm including all items except for the Messenger Memories, which are not required to obtain the Achievement. Also, I'm including other items that, while not required for Immortal Collector, are either needed for The Great Merchant (Velez's Seals) or hard to find for some people (Raw Materials).
The Wake, Old Tomb
1) Ki Soul: Right at the beginning of the game, just after the first cutscene, you’ll see an opening in the map to the right from the tomb. Walk up the slope and the item will be on the other side, next to the water.
2) Life Soul: After your first fight, it will be down your path and slightly to your left, between some tombstones. Upon picking it up, you’ll trigger a fight with some beam-firing red orbs.
3) Death Fragment: Just across the last collectible, you’ll have to jump up a slope and walk down the other side. See the enlargement in the map if youre having difficulties to find it. It will be next to a small cliff facing the water.
4) Life Fragment: Down the main path, after dropping from the previous area. Next to impossible to miss.
The Wake, Forgotten Caves
5) Life Fragment: In the large room with the helmet-shaped rock you have to destroy in order to progress, the item is sitting in the Northwestern corner, in the lower half of the room, beyond the tree trunks (or whatever they might be).
6) Rune of Alchemy: After you beat the Brynhildr and break the first seal, keep going forward and up the stone stairs until you exit the cave and reach a cliff. An enemy will start shooting at you from your left, but don’t go that way just yet. Instead, take a right and go all the way till the end.
Mountain Pass
7) Jared’s Amulet: After entering this area, go forward and take a left as soon as you can. Go down the path and this Artifact will be at the end. (Note: This is before going down the slope with the archers; if enemies start to spawn, you’ll have to backtrack, as you have gone too far.)
8) Life Soul: Go down the main path with the archers and turn left as soon as the path branches. Speak with the Unknown, and he will give you this item.
9) War Core: From the previous collectible, don’t go back to the main path jut yet. Instead, keep advancing through this side path that runs across the side of the cliff until you reach this item.
10) Ancient Sword: In the center of the large room where you fight the Dullahan. Really hard to miss.
11) Life Fragment: In the room right after the previous one, in a small entrance to the right from where you came.
