This game was ballin' played on Gamepass at launch, still need to buy the ultimate edition on steam, I'll baby it one of these days.

 

[Aldric]

Not bad, I was wondering if the game had bombed.

Loved it, one of the most fun combat systems in any action rpg I've played.

 

[Bojji]

Solid game for people that like anime aesthetics.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

Sounds like a Switch 2 or sequel announcement is coming this week. Otherwise why state this?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Btw, the Ultimate Edition is currently on sale on Steam and PSN (US region). On Xbox, it's the Standard Edition that's discounted, but you can buy the Season Pass separately at a reduced price and end up around the same total.

 

[Hyet]

Solid game. I don't think they should make a direct sequel in the same exact setting, but the combat system could be iterated on.

 

[saintjules]

I have to go back to this game. I didn't get very far into it but it was cool from what I've played of it so far.

The Ultimate Edition has been available for like $10-15 for years, the Steam price is the usual "not a real sale" price they seem to do these days.

Too late

 

[RaZoR No1]

Only 2 million?
Game was great, I am still waiting for a new one.

Only bad thing I could list:
Playing the otherside / other Character was not that different IMO

 

[Valt7786]

Loved this when it came out, been dying for news of a sequel since I finished it. Hope something happens with it eventually.

2 million copies sold is pretty good for a new JRPG IP, I'd say. The real question is whether Bandai Namco is satisfied with that, considering a lot of those sales were probably at discounted prices… I do hope it gets a sequel though.

 

[Sabejita]

Code Vein did 3 Millions in 4 years (2023), was at 4 millions when Code Vein 2 was announced.

This one made 2 Millions in 5 years? Not sure what to expect from that information. I just hope they don't go the Code Vein 2 way if they do a sequel.

 

[SkylineRKR]

I beat this game way back on Series S Gamepass.

Scarlet Nexus is rather solid. The dialogues were whatever though, I skipped most of it. But the combat was surprisingly fun. Game ran very well on XSS.

 

[Moondoggy]

Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!! Now give us the sequel that the Game Director actively wants to make, you gave Code Vein a sequel.

 

[diffusionx]

PS5 pro patch when

 

[mèx]

I had a good time with Scarlet Nexus, I played both routes. Unfortunately the story gets kind of messy towards the end, and the interactions between the two sides are kind of weird/forced, that concept was not executed well.

Still hoping for a sequel, there is a lot of potential here.

 

[Fbh]

Shame it didn't sell better, I really enjoyed it.
The story was some generic cookie cutter anime stuff, but the actual gameplay was really fun and I like the presentation too.

I'd have preferred a sequel to this (or a new Tales Of) instead of Code Vein 2

I wanted a Code Vein 2, but i'd gladly give up what we got for a Scarlet Nexus 2 instead. CV 2 sucked.

 

[DarkShadowXI]

I'd love to revisit this game. Played for a couple hours and enjoyed what I saw.

It's in my backlog along with other 700 JRPGs.

 

[Strider7]

Great game. Enjoyed getting the Plat on PS and Steam.

 

[Dynomite]

Enjoyed the game enough to play through both campaigns. I didnt watch the anime though. Not sure how the franchise as a whole fared.

 

[cireza]

Pretty average game and incredibly bad discussions between the characters.

 

[Kataploom]

Amazing game, I need a sequel

 

[sodstall]

Pretty average game and incredibly bad discussions between the characters.

Game had flare for sure but yeah, could see the middle of the road experience a mile away. Glad its doing something for someone out there.

 

[Danjin44]

It was really solid game. I love to see proper sequel.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Still have this one on the backlog. At this rate I'll have to hire someone to play all my games for me.
