An action-adventure game with strategic elements developed for PC. The players control a young wizard who can summon and command magical creatures. The hero can lead even hundreds of those such allies to battle, while also solving puzzles and overcoming obstacles that we come upon during exploration.
Masters of Anima is an action adventure game set in an fantasy world. It is the work of French studio Passtech Games, who also developed Space Run and Space Run Galaxy.
The story of Masters of Anima takes place in a fantasy world known as Spark, in which the most important resources is titular magical energy – Anima. A huge concentration of it in the wild can even bring mighty golems to life, and inhabitants of the world learned how to tame and use it for their purposes, with those specializing in it being called Shapers. Players’ character, a young man named Otto, strives to become Master of Anima, as having it is the only way he can marry his fiancé Ana.
The campaign starts with Otto returning successfully from a practical test, as he discovers that Ana has been assaulted by an evil Zahr, who stole her magical essence to create an army of golems that will conquer the world for him. The hero quickly goes after him to save his fiancé and foil Zahr’s plan.
As an action adventure game, Masters of Anima uses a camera located high behind the hero’s head, and gameplay focuses on exploration, puzzles and fights against hordes of enemies, including powerful bosses. What makes the game stand out from other titles is that players’ character is practically defenseless. Instead of his own battle prowess, he has to rely on the Guardians, magical creatures summoned with Anima. Players can control even hundred them at once through simple commands. They are the only mean of facing opponents and obstacles, while also helping during regular exploration.
There are several types of Guardians in Masters of Anima, each with unique characteristics. The game also features small RPG elements, as players earn experience points to improve Otto’s skills and strengthening Guardians.
Masters of Anima offers good-looking three-dimensional visuals filled with bright colors and cartoon design of the world.

Game Ratings for Masters of Anima Video Game.
GameSpace: 9 / 10
In this humble reviewer's opinion, this game is worth more than 19.99 and is a steal for someone who likes an adventure with unique and intuitive gaming controls. Join others around the world as they learn to control their guardians in groups of up to one hundred units while you destroy the Golems and defeat Zahr. The world of Spark awaits you.
Nintendo Life: 6 / 10 by Richard Atkinson
From the outset, Masters Of Anima, tries its utmost to engage with a different world that's ruled by a unique magic, bare-bones lore and a bunch of awkwardly portrayed and forgettable characters. The floundering voice acting and clunky script, coupled with a cringe-worthy story that's more embarrassing than your drunk uncle dancing at a wedding, grates quickly. The title certainly won't hold your hand when it comes to defeating the only enemy in the game, which could prove to be tedious for some. Masters Of Anima is no Pikmin, but if you're looking for a fantasy land filled with tough enemy encounters and a game that's relatively straightforward, then this one is for you.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 7.5 / 10 by Paulmichael Contreras
Masters of Anima is for those who love to multitask. Ordering various groups of guardians to attack multiple groups of enemies while also moving around, dodging attacks and performing combos can make for a very hectic game. But for those who live for the thrill of a job well done amidst a bunch of chaos, Masters of Anima was made for them. The rest of us will have to suffer through some agonizing deaths on a painful path to better skills before this game really opens up. Appearances can be deceiving, and Master of Anima is certainly a prime example of this phrase.
