This game is an ode to the original ARPG's like the original Diablo. It's a ton of fun and I've blown almost 10 hours into it already and seems like I've been playing for a couple hours tops. The drops are fun and even has lower level legendary and set items to loot and at just a bit over $10.00 is well worth the price. So far at early leveling I have one large tower like dungeon with
many different levels to explore and quests given in town with merchants and NPC. It's a fun
game and I see a lot of mixed reviews. I think considering the price and the fun it's well worth $10+

I've had some additional hours into the game and at the end of the tier one experience and yes this game is a good time. It's got almost thirty levels (dungeon, gardens, caves, prison, hell type plane, astral) and different modes or tiers as you complete each tier you then unlock the next tier.

The one CON so far is how come all characters share one 3 tab stash. Three stash tabs would be one thing if each character had 3 personal stash and then a shared stash but you have to share the three tabs with all your different characters. That needs to be upgraded. Also bosses rarely drop anything. Now that's not a big issue when you get so much loot already but just an observation. No elite chest or anything to loot in the majority of boss fights making them kind of pointless after you defeat them. A minor observation. The really big one is the stash. The stash chest appears to have like ten tabs possible yet only three come unlocked and so far I don't see a way to unlock the tabs. I'd love any input on that from people who have knowledge about that or are we just stuck sharing THREE tabs with every character in the game?

Otherwise I am loving this game for what it is. A fun Diablo style experience with a bit of Diablo 1, 2 and 3 mixed into it.

Now over 40 hours into it and level 185. This game is much deeper then I thought. It's much more like D3 with 10 tiers and probably 100 different dungeons. Each tier takes you through like 30 levels to explore but there are tons of dungeons outside the main fortress dungeon you need to complete to unlock higher difficulties.

Right now I have three stash tabs and I've filled all three with legendary items already so I am hoping there is a way to get more stash tabs. It looks like they have set it up for like ten tabs but only three show for PC version.

Now I am about level 80 on my Necromancer and completed Tier 3 and into Tier 4. The only issue I am having is the with Trial of the Gods it's freezing my computer ever time I finish or die trying to do it so hopefully the developers know about the bug and plan to fix it since this is obviously some of the end game content. Otherwise I still have plenty of progress to make.

The have various altars throughout the dungeons that boost your damage x 10, experience x 10 (my favorite), defense x 10, etc... and when you unlock an achievement you get LOOT BOX similar to those games with micro purchases except you get them in this game for just achievements without the micro purchases.

To compare this to PoE or Grim Dawn isn't warranted. This is a fun Diablo 1 or 2 experience with a basic town where you can unlock powerful crafting abilities very similar to Diablo. The skills and abilities are also similar not a huge endless tree of talents.

This isn't going to be a 3,000+ hour experience but you can get hundreds of hours of fun for 10 bucks here and most of the loot has ability not level requirements so you can TWINK out (make a newbie super powerful) which kind of give your additional characters some early God mode when they are first leveling which is a blast.

You have a three tab stash. I'd have liked this feature a bit better if it had three tabs for each character and then a shared stash but in this game your stash is a shared stash for all tabs.

All in all it's a fun quick simple but also deep enough ARPG to be fun and you definitely get your $10 worth.

Okay I was wrong this game has way more then just 30 levels to it. That's only for Tier 1 and this game has many more Tiers and new areas to explore with additional quests after Tier 1 and different areas or zones to adventure. 16 hours in and completed tier 1. It's really a little gem of a game. It's a lot deeper and has more to it then I thought. Great fun.

NOTE TO DEVELOPERS: If you update the game really consider some way to unlock personal stash tabs, additional tabs, etc...three shared tabs for all your characters is not enough. There should be at least three personal stash tabs for each character that are not shared and then the shared tab. Achievements after you complete all 10 levels to gain more stash tabs would be an excellent update for example Trial of the Gods or Mirraw quest line.

Over 100 hours into the game and have completed the 10 reincarnation levels I found another issue worth fixing and that is the mimic portal. I've opened it twice upon killing Mimic's so far and both times it sent me to a portal that was lower reincarnation level. This last time on R 10 it opened R 1 portal. Obviously if you finally get the wonderful surprise of a Mimic portal you want a reincarnation appropriate portal to open up. If that isn't a bug then it's something they should consider fixing to make the game more fun.

Beware before buying this! This is nothing more than a port of the original mobile version of this game. So be sure to understand what you're getting before buying this. It is not up to date like the mobile version. Not even close. It is basically the old v1.0.0.0 with some pieces of various updates added, up to about 2.0.7, but even then it's not all of each updates content/updates/fixes/etc. It's just parts of it.

This is a decent game especially for how small the development team is. However, it does come at the cost of being an outdated port on PC. For whatever reason, they have yet to ever push any of the newer updates from the current mobile game to the Steam version. This means there are a lot of things missing.

- No pets.
- No wings.
- No online/multiplayer/leaderboards.
- No dungeon finder.
- No Druid class.
- Lots of missing items, stats, etc.
- Lots of missing zones, bosses, quests.
- No seasons/season based content.
- No holiday based content.
- No cash shop.

With this, the game also runs pretty poorly as it was just a quick port to PC with no optimization or stabilization done. So the game will absolutely wreck your system while playing. (To help with this some, use the highest available vsync option in the games options. It will help with the CPU usage a ton.)

There are bugs such as issues with targeting/clicking on certain things.

As for the good, there is no cash shop in this version at all. It's completely removed. While I did list it above as missing, not that I really want it, it does mean you do not have the option to buy useful things, even with gold, such as more storage pages, character slots, etc.

I wouldn't recommend this unless you really understand what you're getting and are fine with it being outdated. Buy it on sale like I did for cheap, better than spending full price on something this outdated. Otherwise, just get the mobile version and play that instead.

My first ever review for a game on Steam because i think this game deserves it and has not received the love it deserves so far and want to avoid a review bombing full of Gen Z "Sheeesh a PoE/D3 wanna-be"

i'll try to stay neutral and make a point on everything, both pros and cons of the game so far , and will try to not go too deep on the mobile portage of the game ( yes this game is available on IOS and Android since 2017 if i'm not wrong).

i do apologize first if my english is not correct , baguette rules the world !

pros :

-no in app purchases going on ( as it does for mobile version ) and none planned in future updates / 10€ is a cigaret pack , i dont get people complaining or saying "game isnt worth 10€" , get on ur priorities

-All classes are viable, it's just a matter of early game progression and play style. Eventually you will play all the classes to level 150 for achievements.

- Storage is shared between all chars , which makes grinding for items much faster , achievements do provide you with rare items that increase ur stats with fixed stats or % and these r claimable by every char once u unlock the achievement , making the leveling of an alt significantly faster if u already have some days in the game.

-The game is quite enjoyable for perfectionists who like to always push their characters a bit further , there is nothing as close as "perfection" on this game unless u r reaching thousands of hours on the same character, the season system ( as u already probably know from other populars H'n'S) coming sooner or later will add more build possibilities and change the meta every 3 months , even if some items prove to be stronger no matter what u r looking for .

-in terms of graphics , the game is quite beautiful , might even be started on ur grandma's toaster . Be advised tho that for now , game is badly optimized ( i710700K + 32GB RAM + 2080 SUPER ) and , Unity being Unity , i got 60% of CPU + 40% RAM use because of that freakin background MuSOS . No framerate drops/stuttering tho and no surprise so far.

- Game is being developed by a little team of developers ( 3-4 actually if i remember well ) so considering the work they've done so far and what's up to come for PC at least (which basically means catching up to mobile version ) , they deserve to be praised for what they achieved to do.

Cons :

- as said above , poorly optimized atm

- Loot grinding is a pain , from what i know of the 2017/18 Anima players i know , we are back to the starting Anima which has known major updates since. U r forced to click on every gem/legendary u r gonna loot and every chest u r gonna find , while mobile version has already improved these mechanics a long time ago , and even if its not bothering the casual players for the few first levels , this is a major issue when starting to grind higher reincarnation levels ( Torment equivalent of D3 )where u r gonna get dozens of gems per run , i do hope this is actually a top priority for devs to work on. I managed to pass through this , might not be the case for everyone until this is patched .

the first step before reaching HL is going through 10 Reincarnations , which means doing 10 times the "Main Story line" before reaching the best item drops in the game, while this is not an issue for me at least , i can understand that it is not at all "noob-friendly", game in itself is not welcoming if u are looking for an Hack n slash to start with , which makes me end this cons list with a point :

I do consider Anima as a niche game , but what i did also learn is that it has an awesome and involved community , and a non-official discord which is available here : https://discord.gg/TZTpyU5X , u r almost certain to get an answer 24/7 and players have gathered thousands of hours of playtime combined together to help everyone with guides and tips , so feel free to join whenever u want , the more the merrier !

If u have made it this far , congrats , i do hope to meet u asap and may RNGesus be with u !

Ego out !

I know the dev team is small, but they seem to be gone AWOL. There was a small update on the mobile not that long ago, but come on, you've released this game on Steam promising changes and updates on par with mobile. But it's consistently getting ABSOLUTELY ZERO attention from you.

So here's my voice of discontent and disapproval.

This was a really fun game until my mainhand weapon and all the gems I had worked for over a week to farm in it disappeared between games. I record all my gameplay, so I looked back in case I had accidentally dropped it, but you can clearly see it disappear between saving and rejoining. Support has not responded to my issue at all and I haven't played since. That was about three weeks to a month ago.

Really unfortunate as I liked this game a lot and previously played on mobile.

A huge scam compared to the free version on phones. You pay 10 euro for a game that never release new content, neither updates, nor has controller support.
The settings are poorly made.
I was a huge fan of the phone version of this game (which is free),
but this here is just terrible.

i like this game a huge lot but i m giving it a "not recommended" rating.

the negatives first:
the game actually originated as a mobile game, this game is a port from the mobile. the devs rarely ever update hits pc port. it seems like its a stepchild that they are ignoring.

the mobile one last i checked has 6 classes while this pc port has 5. the mobile one has seasons, while pc has... nothing? also since the game was developed "mobile first", there are some quirks such as clicking an enemy sometimes causes the player to run around the enemy as the mouse cursor is precise and may have "clicked on the ground behind the enemy model". u need to keep clicking to keep attacking.

the worst thing imho, is a QoL feature they have on mobile but not on PC, which is lootfilter. really. having no lootfilter sucks so much ass. i keep picking up random junk and actually learn to live with it, only dropping them to make room when something actually good drops.

The good:

its damn simple. kill enemies and move on. it's "diablo" lite where it condenses the game into killing enemies and moving on.

what i especially like about the game is that it is practically "classless". you have a few different classes but you can multiclass. gear in this game are stat locked as well tier locked. this allows you to use any item regardless of class, albeit some mod rolls such as +1 to class X skills would only benefit class X.

i really wish the game devs pushed this game up to date. then i would certainly change this review to recommended.

Fun game, but the mobile version is so much better, which is a shame and a missed opportunity. No new content here and old / bad mechanics

Yes, it's definitely a Diablo clone - but a damn good one, as I can say after 10+ hours of play so far. Yes, it's "only" a low-budget game that doesn't come close to Diablo in terms of atmosphere.

But you could say that it has been "enhanced" with a few new ideas/features so far that it is a successful Diablo 2.5 that is definitely worth its 10 Euros on Steam; even without Steam Achievements.
But it has a lot of in-game achievements that also give you rewards, like special loot crates, gold, etc....

The replayability of Anima is also a feature that motivates me a lot to keep playing even after the playthrough, with new quests, new loot, new enemies, etc.

The only thing you could really grumble about are some weird bugs, like "bad" hitboxes or the easy disappearance of valuable items. (Happily happened to me only once so far!).

But for German players I can highly recommend NOT to play the German version with subtitles and surface that it was translated very badly and sometimes even hilariously. (Google translation?) That's why I also play in English. ;)

I'm very curious if I can pass the game completely to 100%, so create all reincarnations, bring level to max (level cap 1500?) and get all ingame achievements with rewards...

Rating: 80/100

No content, no updates. Game has extremely poor graphics and optimization. The progression system is dull and skills are poorly balanced. Stay out.
