Lengthy-time Atlus composer Shoji Meguro is main his personal recreation that is getting a demo very quickly, and it is principally a cross between Persona and Metallic Gear Stable.
Weapons Undarkness is the delightfully named recreation from Meguro, who’s now on design and music duties after scoring a number of Shin Megami Tenseis and Personas over the past 20 years or so, in addition to the current Metaphor: ReFantazio. It has all of the belongings you may love about Atlus’ previous video games – relationship techniques together with your celebration members that then enhance your capabilities in its turn-based battles, all set in a futuristic world grappling with weapons of mutual destruction. (These MGS comparisons are getting a bit clearer, huh?)
This time, there’s an additional twist at play since Weapons Undarkness additionally doubles as a stealth recreation, surprisingly. Whereas infiltrating enemy bases and stealthing round harmful corridors, you can command as much as three companions to cover in cowl, crawl round, after which pounce on foes when the time is excellent. “Hidden or not, when you fireplace on the enemy your staff will leap right into a turn-based battle,” the Steam description says.
I am not simply making the Metallic Gear Stable comparability up, both. The official blurb says it is “impressed by video games like Metallic Gear Stable and Persona.” Principally taking the construction and fight of the latter, whereas infusing it with the political intrigue and stealthy shananiganns of the previous.
Alongside for the experience are Ghost within the Shell character artist Ilya Kuvshino and rapper Lotus Juice, whose voice you have probably heard waxing lyrical over Persona 3’s funky J-pop soundtrack.
A Steam Subsequent Fest demo for the sport will pop up on February 24, earlier than an early entry launch later this 12 months.
Take a look at another new video games coming in 2025 and past.
