New details and gameplay of the Rainian action Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
IGN published a new video dedicated to Banisher: Ghost of New Eden with the first impressions of journalists and new details about this interesting role action developed by Don’T Nod, authors of Life IS Strange.
In the video, we can learn more about the combat system, which, although it is not the strength of the project on paper, demonstrates interesting dynamics.
For example, at any time it will be possible to switch the control from Red to the spirit of his dead companion of Anthea and vice versa. Red fights with the help of a blade and a torch, as well as a rifle that causes great damage, but requires a lot of time to reload and at the same time there is a risk of attacking enemies. Anteus, on the other hand, uses powerful forces of the spirit, but they consume its magical charge, which also represents its vital energy, which can only be replenished by shock. In practice, switching between characters will be crucial for winning in battle.
From the IGN preview, we also learned that Banishers: Ghost of New Eden will not have an open world, but will consist of linear sections of different sizes, and it is expected that the adventure will take from players from 20 to 30 hours.
In Banishers: Ghost of New Eden, we have to take the role of Reda Mack Rate and Anthea Duarte, a pair of ghosts who swore to protect the living from the threat of phantom. After an unsuccessful task, Antei dies from severe injuries and becomes a ghost herself. After that, they try to free the soul of a woman from torment.
In this sense, the very interesting dynamics of the Don’T NOD gameplay is that in missions we often have to make a fateful choice taking into account the information received, which can affect the fate of the characters with which we will interact during the adventure, but also on the fate Antei.
For example, at the end of the mission tested by IGN, the player will have to make an extreme decision: to spare the NPC or brutally cut his throat. It is obvious that the first option will be more humane, but in this case the spirit of Anthea will be closer to ascension to the kingdom of heaven. The second option is obviously more ruthless, but it will contribute to the resurrection of Anthea. Interesting dynamics, which increases to a large extent the weight of each player’s choice.
Recall that Banishers: Ghost of New Eden will go on sale on November 7, 2023 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X | S.
