Release Date: September 27, 2024
A third-person perspective Japanese action RPG, in which we visit alternative modern Tokyo where magic was forbidden. Reynatis has us play a young wizard and we must hide our supernatural powers, so that we don't end up being hunted by the MEA organization.
Reynatis is an action RPG game that takes us to an alternative version of modern Tokyo. The game was developed by FuRyu studio, a Japanese development team whose portfolio includes such projects as The Alliance Alive HD Remastered.
The action of Reynatis takes place in an alternative version of Tokyo from 2024, where magic is an element of everyday life. Under the law on responding to magic crimes, ordinary city residents cannot leave their homes after dusk, and the use of spells is strictly prohibited.
The main character of the game is Marin Kirizumi - a young adept of magical art, who, after arriving in the Shibuya district, meets Sari Nishijima, an officer of the MEA organization that tracks and controls wizards. Their meeting initiates a series of events that will affect not only their lives, but also the entire reality surrounding them.
In Reynatis we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). While traveling through Tokyo, we get to know its inhabitants, learn about things that trouble them, carry out various quests, as well as face opponents. The clashes are dynamic, and during them we need to skillfully use the abilities of three team , whom we recruit as we progress and between whom we can switch at any time.
We can move around the game world in two ways. In "suppressed" mode we only have human capabilities, but in return we can talk to NPCs, shop in stores, and dodge on the battlefield. In "liberated" mode we can use our superhuman, magical powers, moving around the city faster and more effectively and attacking adversaries. It's worth ing that by revealing our true nature, we risk becoming a target of the MEA. The game allows us to switch between these two modes at any time.
In addition to Tokyo bathed in the light of neon street lamps, the adventure also takes us to a fantasy world called Another, to which only characters with magical abilities have access. It is the domain of an anti-government organization called the Guild and is a place full of mysteries and dangers in the form of monsters.
The graphics of the Reynatis game are kept in a manga style.

Game Ratings for Reynatis Video Game.
RPG Site: 4 / 10 by Adam Vitale
Reynatis is, unfortunately like many other titles in FuRyu's catalog, an underwhelming RPG. In fact, FuRyu has continued to provide a good case study on why we probably shouldn't solely deify individual creators without acknowledging the full ensembles required to make beloved games. But as it is, we're left with an RPG that is average at best, messy & forgettable at worst. I've played most of FuRyu's output, continuing to look for a game that I can easily recommend to fans of the genre. While some games have been better than others, Reynatis doesn't break through the mediocrity. Maybe next time.

A trip to Shibuya like you've never seen it before. Reynatis is a standout title that brings a bunch of inventive ideas together for an entertaining RPG. It's onyl a shame that the execution feels a little light. If you're aching to head back to the scramble and escape the daily bustle, then this intriguing commentery on how Japan see's istelf is worth picking up.

Should you play REYNATIS? Yes. Should you buy it full-price? Probably not. Unless you’re a fan of weird but fun PS2 titles, you should wait for a sale. But when that sale comes, I do recommend you check this game out.
