Dive into the depths of the Otherworlds, investigate the anomalies, and fight your way out by any means necessary. Third-person gunplay keeps you on your toes against enemies that behave erratically and ravenously, while stunned enemies can be melee’d into submission. Explore reality-bending liminal spaces that can both confuse and unsettle the mind, like an apartment with inverted gravity or a train that never ends. Players will need to exercise careful inventory management and situational awareness to keep threats from growing. Influenced by her sensitivity to the Otherworlds, Reona can also acquire and upgrade unique active and passive abilities from the anomalies through the “Demi-Humanization System.”
Customize Your Fighting Style (and Fashion Style)
In a world full of alien threats, you’ll need all the options you can get for dealing damage. ANOMALITH sports a massive variety of weapons, attachments, outfit items and artifacts dole out good (or bad luck) while infusing weapons with additional abilities. Reona’s outfit is just as customizable, with more than 300 customizable items across nine different parts of her figure.
Carry Out Investigations in the Otherworld
Meet a broad cast of characters at the home base in between missions, unlocking powerful upgrades and learning about the world Reona is defending. While diving through the Otherworlds, players can collect more than 200 investigation reports detailing the behaviors and mysteries of each anomaly and other foreign objects, painting a clearer picture of the threat the world faces.
