A third-person perspective Japanese action RPG, in which we visit alternative modern Tokyo where magic was forbidden. Reynatis has us play a young wizard and we must hide our supernatural powers, so that we don't end up being hunted by the MEA organization.
Reynatis is an action RPG game that takes us to an alternative version of modern Tokyo. The game was developed by FuRyu studio, a Japanese development team whose portfolio includes such projects as The Caligula Effect 2 and The Alliance Alive HD Remastered.
The action of Reynatis takes place in an alternative version of Tokyo from 2024, where magic is an element of everyday life. Under the law on responding to magic crimes, ordinary city residents cannot leave their homes after dusk, and the use of spells is strictly prohibited.
The main character of the game is Marin Kirizumi - a young adept of magical art, who, after arriving in the Shibuya district, meets Sari Nishijima, an officer of the MEA organization that tracks and controls wizards. Their meeting initiates a series of events that will affect not only their lives, but also the entire reality surrounding them.
In Reynatis we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). While traveling through Tokyo, we get to know its inhabitants, learn about things that trouble them, carry out various quests, as well as face opponents. The clashes are dynamic, and during them we need to skillfully use the abilities of three team members, whom we recruit as we progress and between whom we can switch at any time.
We can move around the game world in two ways. In "suppressed" mode we only have human capabilities, but in return we can talk to NPCs, shop in stores, and dodge on the battlefield. In "liberated" mode we can use our superhuman, magical powers, moving around the city faster and more effectively and attacking adversaries. It's worth remembering that by revealing our true nature, we risk becoming a target of the MEA. The game allows us to switch between these two modes at any time.
In addition to Tokyo bathed in the light of neon street lamps, the adventure also takes us to a fantasy world called Another, to which only characters with magical abilities have access. It is the domain of an anti-government organization called the Guild and is a place full of mysteries and dangers in the form of monsters.
The graphics of the Reynatis game are kept in a manga style.

Game Ratings for Reynatis Video Game.
GameGrin: 8.5 / 10 by Dylan Pamintuan
REYNATIS is an excellent magical adventure set in the mean streets of Shibuya. With great use of its simple yet awesome gameplay mechanics, it's definitely worth your time, but be prepared to deal with less-than-stellar design choices.
WayTooManyGames: 6 / 10 by Oliver Shellding
It’s far and away not a terrible game, but it’s just simply not that good. The wonder and excitement gave way to repetition and tedium, and I had to fight to make myself play a bit more in anticipation of this review. JRPG enthusiasts should add it to their wishlists, but I can’t see this fast food game leaving more of a mark other than “Huh, that was something.”
TheSixthAxis: 6 / 10 by Miguel Moran
Reynatis is a game full of heart that reminds me of the golden age of PS2 RPG adventures, for better and for worse. It's full of interesting ideas, but is lacking consistent execution. If you can see past that, I do think that the charm of the game – the strong character writing, the living city of Shibuya, and angsty JRPG vibe of it all – will really resonate.
