Gameplay

Reynatis revolves around playing in two modes, Suppressed Mode and Liberated Mode. In Suppressed Mode, the player character cannot attack, but is able to dodge enemy attacks with the press of a single button. In Liberated Mode, the player character has access to offensive magic, but is unable to block. The player can access both modes in real-time.

Story

The game takes place in Shibuya, Tokyo, where the use of magic is legally forbidden and wizards face oppression. It follows two main characters, the wizard Marin Kirizumi and the governance officer Sari Nishijima.

Development

Reynatis was developed in Unity engine. Isobe Takumi said he was influenced by trailers of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, a cancelled game that was eventually transformed into Final Fantasy XV.

The soundtrack was composed by Yoko Shimomura, and the scenario was written by Kazushige Nojima. Other members of the development team include artist Yasutaka Kaburagi and director Takumi Isobe. The game has a subquest featuring the characters from Square Enix's Neo: The World Ends with You. It was first teased in an April Fools' Day joke that year. Takumi said he pursued the collaboration because he was a fan of The World Ends with You and thought it was the most famous work that involves Shibuya.

Reception

Reynatis received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. 21% of the critics recommended the game according to OpenCritic.
