Masters of Anima

Command an army of guardians to battle Zahr and his evil golems in this fantastic real-time strategy RPG.

When the issues of a game are rolled and stomped by its greatness, then it’s something to invest on if you have some spare.

Embark on the most epic of quests - saving your fiancee! Okay, sure, there's also the small thing of saving the world too. Masters of Anima sets you loose on the world of Spark with a trusty army of summonable minions that will help you in this gargantuan task for what is ultimately a polished and fun experience.

This niche of the RTS genre isn't often catered-to outside of the Pikmin series, so it's nice to see these developers branch out and be successful. While the game may have benefitted from more puzzles, the combat focus of Masters of Anima shows that there is still room to expand and be unique in this segment of the genre. If you are looking for a new strategy game to tide you over until a genuine Pikmin 4 comes out, I definitely recommend Masters of Anima.

Masters of Anima is a lot of fun to play. The combat and puzzles are both challenging and keep you learning as you progress through the story. The characters themselves are incredibly well written and charming with the regional accents adding a lot of charm to the feel of the game. While the controls are a little complicated at first, they feel incredible once you’ve mastered them, with nothing quite beating summoning a new group of units seconds after unsummoning them to dodge an attack. Despite the game’s pacing feeling a little off at times, Masters of Anima takes a solid formula and adds i...

Despite its generic name, Masters of Anima offers a surprisingly fresh take on action RTS. Exploring a vibrant and varied world, players are invited to control five soldier variants to fight a cartoonish villain.

A well-made action RPG with a surprisingly good atmosphere and voice acting.

Passtech Games' latest title has a well-executed concept but falls short due to lackluster magic and skill management.

Masters of Anima is an adventure game from French indie developer Passtech Games that offers a fun little experience with a creative combat system, where strategy is the most vital characteristic. We are welcomed to the world of Spark, where a naturally occurring magical energy called Anima can be harnessed to construct creatures and bend their wills to fight for you in battle. Those who learn to control this energy are called Shapers, and they must pass various tests and trials in order to earn the title of “Master.”

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 en...

Shapers have existed for many years, mastering the power of Anima to create and control many types of Golems. As with any kind of power, whether that’s used for good or evil is dependent upon the beholder. Masters of Anima, the new adventure by Passtech, drops us into a world where this idea is loosely explored.
