Review based on a copy of the game purchased by Softpedia.
Scarlet Nexus doesn't bring revolutions, but it manages to enhance its strengths with dynamic and fun gameplay, a cast of well-defined characters and a deep and mature story, all spiced up with a unique artistic style. A title definitely worth trying for all fans of Action-JRPGs.

Overall, I feel like Scarlet Nexus is a game that can easily be judged by its cover. In an industry where there are tons of generic anime action games, it’s hard to pick out the right ones. Hopefully people give this one a chance, because the fantastic combat and the visual style make it something truly special. While it does have some pacing problems and some unrealistic alliances, the incredibly unique story manages to entangle you in a web of intrigue.
Scarlet Nexus succeeds in offering an interesting story and characters to establish its roots as an exciting new action RPG despite the overly anime aesthetics that are felt in its story as well.
Overall, Scarlet Nexus is worth getting, especially for those who wish to challenge themselves. The story, animation, gameplay, and setting prove that Scarlet Nexus has what it takes to become a new tipping point for Bandai Namco to outdo other JRPG titles. I highly recommend players to play the demo first, then if they are satisfied, get the full version of the game. Scarlet Nexus will definitely open a new way of playing JRPG games and will open up a series of unique challenges that will shatter gamers’ perceptions of how to end a game.
The feeling that the Scarlet Nexus leaves when the titles fall is something that does not happen very often anymore.

Scarlet Nexus’ flashy psionic-packed combat system and intriguing storyline that is both lengthy and far more varied than one would expect make it a great action RPG that oozes with style.
Unfortunately, there’s some repetition in both the enemies and the combat arenas, and the pacing stutters here and there when it pauses for the story a little too long. On the whole, though, Scarlet Nexus’ refreshing action, story, and trippy brain punk visual style are the game’s superpowers that make it worth playing.
Scarlet Nexus is definitely worth playing for any fan of action games and JRPGs, doubly so if you vibe with the art.
The key points of Scarlet Nexus, using psychokinesis action and two main characters unveiling the story, successfully make the game fascinating and unique. Even some parts are dissappointing, but its unique combat system and actions is worth experiencing.

All in all, Scarlet Nexus was quite an enjoyable experience. The game's unique visuals and art design thankfully met my expectations and the fast paced combat was both fun and satisfying. While the overall gameplay is a bit too loose at times and can take some time to get used to, it's still a game I'd easily recommend to RPG fans.
I think the world of Scarlet Nexus has a lot to offer, and I enjoyed getting a significant taste of it. Its concepts on brain power and psionic combat feel fresh, at least artistically, and I want to see where it possibly goes. I'm still abuzz over the final boss confrontation. I don't think it's quite for everyone, but fans of the anime style of storytelling will find something to connect with here.
Scarlet Nexus is an accessible JRPG that brings you in action, with an immersive combat system full of various combos. If you are searching for a videogame that looks like an anime and you are an action-oriented player, Scarlet Nexus is a great choice for you.

Scarlet Nexus' combat is thrilling and its story surprisingly deep, and while it's let down by limited enemy and stage variety, the strength of its characters is enough to lift it high above your average anime inspired action RPG.
A supremely playable action JRPG, which marries gorgeous anime visuals with satisfyingly original real-time combat.
Scarlet Nexus is, ultimately, some gorgeous, action-heavy comfort food. It is Saturday morning anime in game form, and while it will struggle to hold your attention from a story perspective, it’s also a good way to lose 30 hours in a fun combat system. It’s not a narrative powerhouse, but if you need a vehicle for bashing monsters with the might of your brain, it’ll suit that need just fine.
