Anima Flux is a co-op metroidvania with two genetically enhanced soldiers, special agents of a theocratic dictatorial regime. Fight your way through swarms of mutants through a desolate, dystopian space city and save humanity's last stronghold, if, of course, anyone is still alive...
Players start the game with limited abilities and must scour the interconnected game world to uncover new skills and upgrades. They'll encounter obstacles that only vanish after acquiring specific movement and combat abilities from defeating boss enemies. This constant cycle of discovery and empowerment sustains the engaging exploration and backtracking.
Two players can tackle the adventure together, each controlling a genetically enhanced soldier with unique characteristics. Eileen wields a ranged bow, while Roy fights with a melee sword. Players can seamlessly swap between the two, allowing them to combine their complementary abilities to overcome challenges. This cooperative twist adds a fun, collaborative dynamic to the typical metroidvania formula.
The combat is fast-paced and responsive, enabling players to fluidly transition between Eileen's ranged bow attacks and Roy's melee sword strikes. As they progress, players unlock new combat abilities like dashes, powerful downward strikes, and elemental attacks, expanding their versatile toolkit to handle the game's increasingly challenging enemy encounters and boss fights.
Players can use the game's currency, biomaterial, to purchase enhancements for their characters' health, damage, armor, and special abilities. This upgrade system allows players to tailor their playstyle and make strategic choices about which enhancements to prioritize, further deepening the gameplay experience.
The game provides frequent checkpoints, allowing players to respawn close to where they died. Additionally, well-placed shortcuts make backtracking and revisiting previously explored areas much less tedious, keeping the momentum of the gameplay loop intact.
