Review: Anima: Gate of Memories

A JRPG by way of Spain...

Anima may not be a known commodity in the English-speaking world, but in Spain and France it’s a popular commodity. A tabletop RPG designed by Carlos B. Garcia Aparacio and the Anima Project Studios, Anima: Beyond Fantasy (the core book) invites players to adventure in the world of Gaia, a land heavily influenced by the art and style of Japanese RPGs, with Asian-inspired honour codes, martial arts and spirituality, but still clinging to some traditional Western fantasy concepts as well. Although the game was briefly released in an English translation around 2010, Anima never really took off outside of Spain and France. In its home country Anima has had multiple editions, many supplements, a 32mm miniatures game, a card game, and more.

Mostly great bosses and some nice narrative flourishes do a lot to make up for the fairly repetitive combat and generic story.

Score: 7/10
