About the Game



In the far distant future, a psionic hormone was discovered in the human brain, granting people extra-sensory powers and changed the world as we knew it. As humanity entered this new era, deranged mutants known as Others began to descend from the sky with a hunger for human brains. Highly resistant to conventional attack methods, extreme measures needed to be taken to battle the overwhelming threat and preserve humanity. Those with acute extra-sensory abilities, known as psionics, were our only chance to fight the onslaught from above. Since then, psionics have been scouted for their talents and recruited to the Other Suppression Force (OSF), humanity’s last line of defense.



Featuring a dual story, begin your adventure with either Yuito Sumeragi, an energetic recruit from a prestigious political family or Kasane Randall, the mysterious scout whose power and skill has gained great notoriety among the OSF. As their different experiences interweave with each other, it is only then that you will reveal the full story and unlock all the mysteries of a Brain Punk future caught between technology and psychic abilities in SCARLET NEXUS.



Kinetic Psychic Combat – Using psycho-kinetic abilities, the world around you becomes your greatest weapon. Lift, break and throw pieces of your environment to build your attack combos and lay waste to your enemies.

Exterminate the Others – Deranged mutants that descended from the sky, highly resistant to conventional attack methods and defenses. Tormented by the constant pain of their mutation, they seek brains of living organisms to calm their madness.

Discover a Brain Punk future – Explore and protect a futuristic Japanese landscape that combines inspirations from classic anime and western science fiction.

A Dual Story Experience – Dive into a complex story of bonds, courage and heroism, crafted by minds behind the iconic Tales of Vesperia.

9/10 It's 50% manga/visual novel and 50% hack&slash, so the dynamics are similar to Yakuza games': you watch cutscenes, then you do some intense action, then you rest a bit and watch some cutscenes, rinse and repeat.

I wish I liked this game more than I do. The combat got really repetitive for me and I don't find a lot of the characters interesting enough to want to listen to them more than I play the actual game. It does have some

Scarlet Nexus is marketed as an action-RPG, but it feels closer to a sluggish turn-based game in practice. Almost every action your character takes has long, unskippable animations. The faster animations deal very

I liked everything in this game except some of the quests, i don't think they are mandatory in any way tho. 4k 60fps except for the ice region and when you load into the hideout when you have 90% of gifts.
