Beast of Reincarnation is an upcoming post-apocalyptic action RPG experience featuring a unique blend of real time action and tactical elements, and in the newly released gameplay video, developer Game Freak provides a detailed demonstration of how the combat system works. So if you’re looking forward to playing this game, check out the video below:
The combat in Beast of Reincarnation has some Soulslike elements in it which is most prominent in the parrying mechanics as you really need to get the timings right for the other elements to work effectively. As showcased in the gameplay video, almost all enemies have two main gauges with the top bar representing their overall health and the bottom one is a ‘Stun Gauge’ which, when filled, allows for a one-hit kill attack to take down any enemy.
The parrying ability is a key part of the combat and executing it slowly fills up another bar in the bottom right corner of the HUD which is the FP Gauge and when completely full, it enables your companion character to perform a special attack which can do great damage to all foes. Time slows down to a crawl while you select your choice of special attack which in turn fills up the enemies’ stun gauges significantly, letting you end your foes with the one-hit takedown.
The slower pace of the action plus the emphasis on parries make Beast of Reincarnation particularly appealing for all Soulslike fans so if you’re one of them, the upcoming title may fit you like a glove.
The Standard Edition for Beast of Reincarnation will cost $59.99 and the deluxe edition of the game is priced at $69.99 which is really generous for a title released in the current era of gaming for obvious reasons.
Beast of Reincarnation will also see a physical release on the PS5 with physical copies of both Standard and Deluxe editions for the game, although players on the Xbox platform will only get the option for the standard edition.
Here’s the official synapses of Beast of Reincarnation: “Set in a post-apocalyptic Japan, humanity’s only hope lies with Emma, an outcast shunned from society for her affliction, and Koo, the blighted dog. Together, they embark on this expansive adventure in this one-person, one-dog action RPG.”
